I thought Cahokia museum did in fact reopen.
It was not open when I was there in early June but apparently it “partially” reopened this summer you are correct. I didn’t see many announcements about this

I'm confused too.
I got this off of their website:
"Cahokia Mounds Cultural Gallery Closed
Lobby (Restrooms, Site Model, Temporary Exhibit, and Gift Shop) are open
Wednesday through Sunday from 9:00 am till 3:00 pm
Cahokia Mounds has closed the exhibit gallery that displays cultural items from Native American communities throughout the Midwest region.
Recent updates to the Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act (NAGPRA) now require consent from lineal descendants and/or affiliated Native American Tribes in order for Native American sacred objects, objects of cultural patrimony, funerary objects, and/or human remains to be on view.
Cahokia Mounds is committed not only to compliance with NAGPRA but to consultation and collaboration with affiliated communities whose heritage is represented in our galleries.
Therefore, the cultural gallery will remain closed while staff continue to review existing
information and engage in meaningful conversations with the descendant groups of this important Indigenous Site."

Wentzville got its spot in the limelight as the Home Depot there was featured in a “Design Fails” video because their contractor installed parking bumpers instead of speed bumps, lol
We got a glimpse on Wendover again. Not a true mention, but at least a quick B-roll cut.
At 1:24. Ikea in Midtown. Nice view. I not really a fan of Ikea, but . . . well . . . the location ain't bad. Which is kind of funny, when you consider the dialogue it accompanies. (Not sure if Wendover meant that as a dig, but I think narrator Sam did live in Missouri for at least a little while, so . . . maybe?)

^They put a surprising number of local easter eggs in their videos. Good channel generally anyway.
Somewhat tangentially related to St. Louis, but the end of this USCSB (highly, highly recommend subbing to their channel) eulogizes Sandy Gilmour, who apparently used to be a reporter at KMOX starting in 1974 and did a lot of work for the USCSB.
