I'm in my mid 30's and recorded it, only because I follow this blog.  I was pretty pissed watching it.  I felt like it was a total hit job on the City until their stupid fluff piece about the Arch.  I will go back to never watching the nightly news.  

I was told as a child if I didn’t have nothing nice to say then don’t say nothing at all. I think we all know what all the good things that are happening here and what StL is capable of if we get out of our own way.

So they basically came here to eat our fine cuisine & trash us.

Was anything false? Maybe we deserve it? Maybe we are a laughingstock of America? Maybe we elect dunderheads to run our metro area?

Maybe we have such selfish preeks managing their fiefdoms that they can’t see the larger picture…

I agree, @whitherSTL. If St. Louis wants less negative press and more positive stories, the best way to fix that is through action. Elect different people with new ideas. Show up to your local neighborhood and city council meetings and speak about what you're passionate on. We can't just blame NBC for highlighting facts. That's no different than when Gov. Parsons calls the PD "fake news" for covering stories that aren't to his benefit.

The best way to fix negative media attention is to focus on the underlying problems that give the stories oxygen to exist in the first place.

Shortsighted bootlicking politicians aren't exactly unique to St. Louis. We have real problems, but they aren't materially worse than most US cities in the way the media likes to portray with their brainless false narrative.

I don’t know. I see mayors and leader of our peer cities and many have Mark Montavani-types; serious, bright candidates who also know how to run things. St. Louis county had a chance and we instead voted for Sam Page.

Hahahahahah, what a joke our uninformed electorate is.

^ +1. pure trash.

Yep, agreed, Sam Page is pure trash.

^  Don't really have strong thoughts about him.  But calling Saint Louis voters a joke and uninformed is pure trash. It's lazy and ignorant. But you do you.

Fun fact: The new Tom Hanks-led vehicle in cinemas, "Finch", begins in post-apocalyptic St Louis. https://101theeagle.com/tom-hanks-new-movie-finch-begins-in-post-apocalyptic-st-louis/

New HGTV house hunting show set in St. Louis. In the first episode, the buyers check out a CWE house before complaining about being too close to neighbors.

blah
really thats the best HGTV could splice together ?
oh wait its HGTV
too close? who isn't too close? I have seen numerous cities/towns with older  and even new stuff built/being built in  former corn fields where the stick homes are very close to each other

I caught a few episodes of the woman renovating homes in Chicago. Great view of the urban housing market. The woman that renovates the old KC craftsmans isn't bad either although I think she still does plenty of suburban homes.

I’m hoping that as this season progresses, we see more urban housing presented. Seems like her show is more “house hunting + renovation” so there’s some good opportunities for that in the city.

My favorite hgtv show is “restored by the fords.” They’ve been in some cool Pittsburgh homes.

^Wow! I have to wonder who will be staying there. That's a nice piece of architecture.

I can't find the source I'm thinking of that mentioned it, so don't quote on this, but I believe this was funded by Dave Steward.  If I track down what I'm thinking of, I'll edit this post.

Well this is pretty weird. Get your very own 2022  National Park Monsters Calendar (not sure why it says 1955).

Because 1955 has the same days?

The image would be quite ugly if it truly depicted what was there in 1955.

^I'd been thinking that. Maybe they should put the year the park opened to the public at the top whether it matches 2022 days or not.
