Mile 277 is getting its 15 minutes of reality TV fame--sort of. The Sunset Hills bar and grill can be spotted in a new pilot on DIY Network this month.

Sunset Hills and Crestwood are contrasting communities with a bright future ahead.
This past week I covered for the Sunset Hills-Crestwood Patch site while its editor, Alyssa Stahr, was on a very-well deserved vacation. Having covered Town and Country, Kirkwood and Webster Groves Patch sites before, I felt confident I could cover Sunset Hills and Crestwood swiftly, but then the realization hit me that I knew absolutely nothing about these two Southern St. Louis County municipalities. After a week of doing my best to bring you relevant news about Sunset Hills and Crestwood, I feel I leave with a desire to follow up on both of these cities. They have some problems and a tremendous potential. Economic difficulties When I first arrived to this country, I recall how puzzled and overwhelmed I felt going to the Chesterfield …

Sunset Hills Board of Aldermen delay their vote on the conditional use permit and plan at owner’s request.
Keith Rhodes, co-owner of Mile 277 at the Holiday Inn Viking, sent a letter on Monday requesting the Sunset Hills Board of Aldermen to postpone their decision in regards to the expansion of a sand volleyball court and concession building to the existing venue. Reasons for the request are unknown at this time. The Planning and Zoning Commission members denied Rhodes’ conditional use permit and plan in a meeting earlier in this month after hearing arguments by several Office Park tenants. Excessive drinking and noise, parking shortages, possible litter and diminished access to the office park were mentioned as concerns if an outdoor court is added to the current location. Nevertheless, members voted in favor of events being hosted at Mile …

Sunset Hills' Planning and Zoning Commission denied the conditional use permit due to nearby office park opposition.
After reaching its one-year anniversary, Mile 277 at the Holiday Inn-Viking co-owner Keith Rhodes thought it was time for an expansion. Rhodes argued that there was a need for a first-class sand volleyball facility in the area. Plans for a venue were made, however at the March Planning and Zoning Commission meeting, not everyone agreed that an outdoor court was a good idea. Several tenants of the Sunset Hills Office Park spoke in opposition of the volleyball venue at the March meeting. Opposing arguments included noise level, excessive drinking, parking, possible litter and diminished access to the office park. At the March meeting, Rhodes asked for the vote to be postponed until he could have an informal informational meeting with his …
