All right, I'll give him another chance. The listicles and the monotone put me off, but maybe I haven't listened long enough.
Not exactly "St. Louis News", but:
Former Senator from Missouri Kit Bond's nephew, and his wife, former CEO of the St. Louis Foundation, poisoned several trees on the coastal Maine property of one of the members of the L.L. Bean family. This was to improve the view from the Bonds' own vacation home. The townsfolk found out about it, and all hell broke loose:
Poisoned trees gave a wealthy couple in Maine a killer ocean view. Residents wonder, at what cost?

Thanks for sharing!
A really like the drone shot with the arch in the foreground at the beginning of the StL portion of the video. You get much better sense of the massing of DT this way than the traditional ground level photo from across the river.

Forbes states in article "Emerging Downtown" as oppose to "Doom Loop" from WSJ. Which is it?

^Which seems to be a good example of why you shouldn't let out of towners make a localized version of a game long ago in the public domain. I suggest we make our own. With actual St. Louis railroads and streets, rather than parks, vague concepts, and paid advertisements. Here we go: Wabash, Missouri Pacific, Frisco, TRRA. And for the electric company you use UE and for the water works you use St. Louis Water. And geeze, you plonkers, use actual streets! (And maybe we go back to the original rules of the Landlord Game.)

Donnybrook stated the other night a study showing the national media mentions of St. Louis have decreased significantly since the Rams left. Sad.

^It might be almost as much coincidence. Sure, we're getting less press on NFL sports pages. But the Cardinals have also been off for unrelated reasons, and they probably drove a lot more mentions even in the Rams better years. And maybe we're also getting slightly less negative attention since the homicide numbers are down. (Good, bad, or otherwise mentions are mentions.) I'm not sure I believe these things are necessarily closely related, and I'm also not entirely sure it's bad.
The 20 best art museums in America - Washington Post
St. Louis Art Museum ranked #12!
Some art museums overawe with the sweep of their collections. Others thrill with a few perfectly placed masterworks.
The best of them embody their cities’ ambitions and fulfill an ideal: that anyone can walk in for a moment of rest and leave with a brain buzzing or a soul stirred.
For our annual Museums Issue, The Washington Post’s critics highlight the country’s wealth of art museums, from its neoclassical temples to its modern jewels (and those that offer both). Below, we rank our favorites, based, for starters, on the depth and breadth of the museums’ collections, the quality of their exhibitions, and their history of public engagement. So many others could have made the list, among them gems in Minneapolis, Pittsburgh, Toledo, Kansas City, and too many in New York and D.C. to mention.
Below, we rank the heavyweights, but don’t miss our picks for the best smaller art museums and the best college museums, too. Make your own list, plan a day trip and take a companion — plus an open mind.
12. St. Louis Art Museum
Situated in a huge gorgeous park just west of the Mississippi, St. Louis’s leading art museum is well-known for its deep holdings of the German painter Max Beckmann, of postwar German art (including by Gerhard Richter and Anselm Kiefer) and its masterpieces by Henri Matisse, Hans Holbein, Titian and Artemisia Gentileschi. But its collection is broad and deep. Its Oceanic art and carpet and textile collections are especially good, and it mounts thoughtfully ambitious exhibitions.
Here's the complete list:
1. Metropolitan Museum of Art, NYC
2. Art Institute of Chicago
3. National Gallery of Art, DC
4. Philadelphia Museum of Art
5. Museum of Fine Arts, Boston
6. Museum of Fine Arts, Houston
7. Cleveland Museum of Art
8. Museum of Modern Art, NYC
9. Detroit Institute of Art
10. Getty Center/Getty Villa, LA
11. Virginia Museum of Fine Arts, Richmond
12. St. Louis Art Museum
13. Los Angeles County Museum of Art
14. San Francisco Museum of Modern Art
15. Legion of Honor/De Young, San Francisco
16. Baltimore Museum of Art
17. Crystal Bridges, Bentonville, AR
18. Wadsworth Atheneum, Hartford, CT
19. Whitney Museum of American Art, NYC
20. Dallas Museum of Art

Awesome article by national travel writer. St. Louis captured me with an authenticity that is rare in a world of the internet and trends. It is America’s best kept secret in my opinion as a transplant.

St. Louis Is Still A Nice Little Secret
It was a hub for riverboats, wagon trains, and the railroad, and the gateway of westward expansion. Its food and music were born of the New Orleans’ spirit. Still, the city remains underappreciated.

Mr. Segal, whose staff monitors white supremacy activity nationwide, said that a newly formed white supremacist group called Hate Club, based in St. Louis, had claimed responsibility for the march on Saturday in Columbus, and that the protest might have been inspired in part by a rivalry with another hate group based in Ohio.

The best kept secret in Midwest big cities is St. Louis City. That’s what makes it special. Keep the secrets quiet.addxb2 wrote: ↑Nov 24, 2024St. Louis Is Still A Nice Little Secret

Not sure the food here was born of New Orleans so match as from Italian traditions. And while blues was born in the delta, the Father of Rock and Roll, moving Johnny Johnson riffs to the guitar and merging blues with white hillbilly music at the Cosmo Club in East St Louis, was the start of a new music form born here, not New Orleans.
