Daily Dose: Opening Day for Cardinals

Happy Friday, Affton and Shrewsbury!

• Weather: Unfortunately, the National Weather Service said there's a 40 percent chance of showers today, with a high near 71. As Mehlville-Oakville Patch editor Sarah Flagg said, "hopefully, the only drops the Cardinals will see are Cubbie tears." Saturday and Sunday will warm up, but could still see showers.

• Are you going downtown today? If you're cheering for those Redbirds, !
  
  
• Will you miss me? Your trusty editor is officially on vacation from this Friday morning until Tuesday, April 24. BE GOOD. And if you have any news tips, questions or concerns, you can direct them to either ryan.martin@patch.com or substitute editor johnson.franka@gmail.com. Good luck.
