As I drove down Watson Road, crossing River Des Peres, in my hometown of St. Louis, MO, my 6 year old daughter commented on the drabness of winter:

Trust me, she said alot more than this! She’s a verbose little thing, while Twitter keeps me in a 140-character box. Speaking of Twitter, I pulled over right away to capture all of these little thoughts, and yes, I tweeted the mayor. She insisted I let him know.

He and his staff got right back with me. A few DMs later, we’re invited to come downtown in springtime to help plant flowers. My daughter will absolutely love this. And Mayor Slay and his staff said, “Tell your daughter thank you for caring about her city.”

Say what you will, but find me a mayor doing a better job with Twitter than Mayor Slay and his staff.
