Cajun Crab, Planet Fitness Coming Soon
By Carol Arnett
The Florissant City Council and the Disability Awareness Commission presented the Disability Awareness Commission Accessibility Award to Mattingly’s. Brain Hallows spoke to the council. He said that several years ago, a group with vision impairments decided to meet occasionally for dinner. They went to several different restaurants and eventually found Mattingly’s, where they have met for several years.
This is the first Disability Awareness Commission Accessibility Award. Mayor Timothy Lowery said that Mattingly’s is a good business for the city and deserved the award.
The council also held a public hearing for a proposed restaurant named Cajun Crab at N. Highway 67. This is in Florissant Meadows Shopping Center. Gerard Mudd spoke to the council about the restaurant.
Cajun Crab will be a sit-down and carry-out restaurant. It will be open Sunday – Thursday from 11 a.m. – 9 p.m. and Friday and Saturday 11 a.m. – 10 p.m.
There will be no alcohol served. The owner said he may apply for a liquor license only for wine and beer. The council held a first reading
on the bill authorizing the special use permit for the restaurant.

• Passed a bill approving a special use permit for Girls Getta Grip Gun Club, and education development center at 45 St. Anthony Lane.
