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.

So a local made it onto Legal Eagle, but not in a good way. (I'm still waiting with baited breath for him to do the redistricting fight, but it's only a one seat difference, no matter how ridiculous it is, so I'm probably going to pass out first.)
Anyway, Onder Law's horror show commercials made it onto Legal Eagle.
Holy cow is that stuff bad.

Cool video which turns the municipal boundaries of various major cities into sound by plotting them on a graph with pitch as the Y-axis. St. Louis gets its turn at 0:25, where its sound is compared to Baltimore's. Great to see STL represented among all these other cities! It's sadly rare for it to be featured in these city comparison-type videos.
Neat also in general just to see these different municipal boundaries. Some of them are really wild! I guess that results from aggressive annexation of the surrounding area. I think St. Louis' boundary is one of the more attractive ones on here. Interesting to look at, but not so much so that it gives you a headache

I'm a little hesitant to post this, as I don't wish to suggest flying is in any way unsafe. It is, statistically, still the safest way to travel. We made it onto VAS Aviation. They post ATC recordings with simple graphics of airports to help illustrate what's going on. Please do understand that all individuals involved are real people working hard to keep us safe. People post this stuff with the hope that we all learn something to make it safer still, and it's a thing I find interesting. I'm neither a pilot, nor an aviation professional of any kind, so I don't pretend to have any insights. But I love learning how airports work. And once in a while . . . there's a breakdown.
This one ended well, but from the sound of the controller's voice it had a bit of "pucker" factor. Pretty understandable. They cleared the Air Canada flight to Pearson (JZA8886) to take off on 12R as the Southwest flight from Minneapolis (WN3082) was about two miles out from touching down on the same runway. (It took WN3082 about fifty seconds to touch down after the initial JZA clearance.)
VAS Aviation at KSTL
Sounds like there was a shift change involved, and they were landing both 11 and 12R, while also using 12R for takeoffs, which is a little unusual. And it's not quite as close as it might sound if you don't watch the captions or the time stamps. (The crew of 3082 had enough time to ask if they were still cleared to land after, so they were on the ball. And the new controller corrected his mistake very very promptly and with great force. And everyone was pretty professional after, so . . . )
But you can definitely hear two different voices on the tower frequency. The first one is a fellow I've heard before. (I hear him all the time.) The second one is someone I don't recognize, though I only listen infrequently, so that doesn't mean much. And there's doubtless a lot going on that I don't know about. Anyway, glad everyone caught the error and handled it appropriately.

Not the most accurate in form... but still pretty nifty. A timelapse overview of the areas development and landmark pieces of history, along with a population ticker running.
