Formerly known as the Press Box, the location was purchased by new owners purchased in January and set about transforming it from sports bar into upscale casual restaurant. The change is now largely completed.
The Press Box in Chesterfield has officially transformed into Scarecrow, complete with new signage and branding. The change started in early January when the sports bar was purchased by friends Chris Mertz and Shawn Mulholland with the intention of turning it into an upscale-casual restaurant. The business remained open as they renovated the interior and on Jan. 23, the new signs went up, signaling the transition. The menu is receiving an overhaul along with the interior. The pair brought in a new executive chief to help bring a new focus to the restaurant's fare with the goal of creating distinct menus for lunch, dinner and the bar. Small plates, steaks and high-end pizzas will be a big part of the new offerings. On Tuesday, Mulholland …

What's your fave?
Here's a few things Dierbergs Market Place in Chesterfield had cooked up or set up for Valentine's Day shopping. Cake balls in shades of pinks were in the bakery.

Did you know you can bake two round cakes, and cut them into heart shapes, stack them up for a layer cake?
