Are You Living In a Former Meth House?

Our partners at Fox2 have compiled a list to help you protect yourself.

Did you just buy a home, or are you renting in the St. Louis or Jefferson County area? You could be living in an old meth house. Our partners at Fox2 have compiled an online database and a map to help you protect yourself. Officials say invisible toxins from meth-making threaten people long after the drug bust. Police say every crevasse of a home contains the toxins related to meth, including the curtains, walls and air registers. They added that there is no standard practice for cleaning old meth houses.

I don't see the benefit of two separate checking accounts, just more fees for the bank and more work for you and your partner. As for the phone - sounds to me like more of an expense again. Even if Charter doesn't charge a fee for this, if you're using a cell as a business phone why would you want it to ring to your home? In my experience, most people answer a home phone with "hello" which, by …   more ›
