old Coke Bottling plant on Davis

CS, where is that plant located?

I'd like to see historic breweries of the past utilized as well. I REALLY want the Falstaff Brewery reopened. I get depressed looking at it in it's current state.

Davis & Michigan(?) in South St. Louis. Not sure if that is considered Carondelet there or not. Maybe it's Lemay. On Davis about 1/2 way between Alabama & Broadway (maybe a bit closer to Alabama).

^That's definitely on the "city side" of the River Des Peres. Would be either Carondelet or Patch

Just an FYI, KSDK, Ch. 5 is airing an I-Team special tomorrow night at 10 PM, Called 'AB Exposed'. It showed executives living the good life during the time when they layed off 1000's of their employees. That is all the preview showed...should be quite interesting.

Wow, that's some hard hitting journalism. Imagine - executives living the good life while workers are laid off. The nerve of them.

Must be sweeps month.

you mean they didn't all done hair shirts and spend their weekends wailing in the street - the shame.

I bet they'll show hidden camera footage of AB IV on his boat at the lake, or AB III playing golf at some exclusive country club.

That is the exact footage they showed. Busch or somebody getting on a yacht. I am not sure what the investigation is all about, but the I-Team is sure acting as if they are breaking some major story..doubt it, but we'll see.

I can't imagine what major story they think they are breaking. The Busches have boats and planes and expensive cars. Just like lots of other wealthy people.

Maybe they're just trying to cash in on the Boats and Hos angle.

In the old days a Busch would have gotten on the phone and had this story killed in under 5 minutes.

And the reporter would be packing their bags for Glendive Montana. (The 258th ranked media market.)

yeah well you kind of lose your influence when you cut your advertising budget and then declare that you will take two months to pay all of your bills.

Just saw it. What a joke. It will rile up the hoosiers who are "boycotting" ABI, and that's about it.

I can't believe they actually spent 30 days on this "investigation".

debaliviere · PostMay 20, 2009#8132009-05-20T13:05+00:00

I stopped watching Channel 5 a long time ago. Sounds like I'm not missing much.

I think in an email to KDSK or KSDK or whatever AB InBev said that the meeting cost $100 per person.

I wonder how much a 30 day investigation costs, while people are out there losing their jobs!

Sounds like they're venturing into Channel 4 territory with stories like this.

Do these folks have any grasp on what all businesses spend on meetings? I go to meetings all the time for work - my estimate is that it costs around $1500 / 3 days, minimum, to get people together, and for the swankier events, I'd say $2500 / 3 days.

It's silly to gripe about an event where guys drove to the Ozarks. Woopty doo.

Perhaps the swine flu has thrown off KSDK's judgment? I think this calls for an investigative report.

and maybe they caught it from something that could be in your home RIGHT NOW.

Tune in at 10 to find out.

AB-InBev just signed a lease for 30,000+ sq ft in New York City. It will serve as some sort of management office.

Oh, thank goodness. There's no office space left in St Louis

I think about 80 people or so. Most coming from Belgium.

^I would assume this is where a few of the lost 'overlapping' jobs will be filled. Eventually most 'important' decision makers will likely be there. Let's hope that St. Louis remains a true 'North American Headquarters' and NYC is just used as an inbetween.
