No stranger to the limelight, the Globe has received several awards in the past decade.
Patch isn't the only hyperlocal news source getting the scoop on important news stories in Clayton. Clayton High School's student newspaper, the Globe, received an award from the Columbia Scholastic Press Association for journalistic excellence in the 2009-10 school year.

Drivers in downtown Clayton may make U-turns during some overnight hours following a unanimous vote by the city's Board of Aldermen on Jan. 11.

U-turns are still prohibited at intersections where traffic signals are in place, and on Brentwood Boulevard and Hanley Road. A copy of the ordinance is attached to this article.

He asked whether the aldermen could review the city's policy. "He responded …
