Time Capsule Found

According to the Suburban Journal, the time capsule was found. About 8 inches below the surface of the ground.

Next question: What is going to happen with all the artifacts that are/were in the time capsule? Will they be displayed at City Hall? Wild Acres? Donated to the Overland Historical Society?

End of an Era: Overland Medical Center to Closed

This may be a scoop for OVCC, since I have yet to see this in the Suburban Journals or the Post-Dispatch. Or, discussed in a City Council meeting, either.

Overland Medical Center, the multi-specialty medical facility in the heart of Overland, will be closing its door on August 1. A doctor's office in every specialty--plus a Medicine Shoppe Pharmacy (which will probably stay unless something non-medical completely takes over the building)--it filled the medical needs of the community from birth to grave.

It's a loss for Overland, not so much in tax revenue, but in needed services for the residents. Tis a sad day.

Let's Do the Time (Capsule) Warp Again!

Found this story on the lost time capsule completely funny.

Go to the Post's site and read the story. Comment there or here (or both). Below is the first few paragraphs of the story.

Buried history — Overland can't find its 50-year-old time capsule

OVERLAND — Chuck Boone jammed a metal rod several feet into the ground in front of City Hall.

He pulled it out, shook his head and stabbed the grass again.

With only two days left until the celebration, he had to work fast. It was a little after 8 a.m. on Thursday, and sweat was dripping from Boone's forehead. A few feet away, a city employee was taking a smoke break and chatting on her cell phone. "Chuck's out here looking for that time box thing," she said. Then she called out to Boone, "Any luck yet?"
"Not yet," said Boone, 64.
