“You all know how grateful I am to all of you and to everyone’s families,” he said. “The sacrifices you’ve made. You’ve gone above and beyond what anyone could ever ask for. So, I just want to say cheers to the strikers. Cheers to the Newspaper Guild of Pittsburgh."

“The blueprint for a successful downtown these days requires making it a place where people want to be outside of work and not just for sports.”

ICYMI: Rents across the #StLouis region are soaring but nowhere more than the neighborhoods targeted by real estate investors. And rents at single-family homes are rising faster than other types. From @stephkukuljan.bsky.social and me. www.stltoday.com/news/local/g... #STL #housing #datajournalism

Scoop from me: Peabody Energy is leaving downtown St. Louis after 70 years. Co. had sought to leave several years ago when gunfire busted several of its windows. But now it's a done deal www.stltoday.com/news/local/m...

Rents across the #STL region are soaring, but nowhere more than neighborhoods that have become targets of real estate investors. Four of the ZIP codes with the top increases in rent since 2023 are in a swath of North County from the airport to the Mississippi. www.stltoday.com/news/local/g...

Because of this, I was able to receive my records the same day I paid. That’s great transparency!

Just want everyone to know that the state of MO allows online payments for Sunshine requests. Meanwhile, you can only pay by check for records from the city of #STL. We're almost to 2026

What does the developer have to say? Didn't respond to requests for comment. What does the county have to say? Didn't respond to requests for comment. Where's the accountability? www.stltoday.com/news/local/m...

The board took this bill back up and approved the blighting for another five years.

Y'all have to read this insane story www.stltoday.com/news/local/g...

Love my city ❤️ My latest story is about how people are pitching in to help their neighbors, and how you can too:

Y'all have to read this insane story www.stltoday.com/news/local/g...

This free article outlines where to give food or monetary donations, as well as how to find help.

His fellow officer doesn't see what the issue is.

A Detroit police officer appeared in court virtually wearing his uniform top with no pants on Judge: “You got some pants on, officer?”

Do we think Vienna is just like an American jail or is jail better than I thought? (I’ve been to neither) www.stltoday.com/news/local/g...

The land is located at the southern end of the mall, at Interstate 64 and Brentwood Boulevard, and currently serves as a parking lot.

It's a somber article on a gloomy day, but an important read. www.stltoday.com/news/local/g...

Almost every major news story this week is about how the entire economy is now gambling, scams, bribes and theft.

One of the leaders of Green Street Real Estate Ventures has agreed to pay a disgruntled investor more than $3M to settle claims the troubled development firm did not pay out returns. The investor could get another windfall, court records show www.stltoday.com/news/local/b...

New data obtained by @stltoday.com indicates hundreds of the buildings mangled by the May 16 tornado in St. Louis were likely vacant before the storm even hit. That could hobble the city's efforts to rebuild the neighborhoods hit hardest by the storm. www.stltoday.com/news/local/g...

Spent a week in SF, where I was able to get around the Bay Area for under $50 thanks to its expansive public transportation network. STL’s leaders are doing our region such a disservice by not prioritizing public transportation.

A #STL icon lands in the @nytimes.com! Enjoy this gift article about @stltoday.com’s own 🪶 www.nytimes.com/2025/10/14/a...

Illinois warned 3 other communities months ago that harmful “forever chemicals” had been detected in their municipal water supplies, long before the issue came out publicly at a Collinsville city council meeting last month www.stltoday.com/news/local/i...

Why would a billionaire want a functioning paper? Functioning papers cover shit like “did you know this billionaire makes his workers pee into bottles instead of taking a break” and “you pay way more tax than a guy with ten yachts”

NEW from me: Months after turmoil engulfed the city’s minority program, the feds are upending DOT’s own diversity program. Thousands of local businesses are impacted www.stltoday.com/news/local/b...

5 things to know about data centers and the debate over them in the St. Louis area www.stltoday.com/news/local/m...

“People’s relationship with news ... has less to do with what the news actually looks like than it does with people’s assumption that journalism is compromised by the pursuit of profit.” theconversation.com/a-bari-weiss... #journalism

A new record for expired tags in STL

Old enough to remember when ward reduction, nonpartisan elections, big salary hikes, and personal full time staff were going to bring St. Louis City a more professional Board of Alders $72,000 each a year for this nonsense

Voters approved a new tax on Airbnb-style rentals, but #STL officials didn't pass a bill authorizing collection. Aldermen said they weren't told. City counselor's office said they were. “There seems to be a lot of confusion about who is responsible for what.” www.stltoday.com/news/local/g...

I'd just note this was during public comment on the new rules put forth to add restrictions on data centers in St. Louis. For context.

Jane Goodall, ethologist and conservationist, has died. She was 91

Story here: www.stltoday.com/news/local/m...

I have the virtual meeting details but posting them here could lead to zoom bombing. Host has not set up registration, which would curtail that. So I guess ... DM me for those details? They'll also be in the story (behind a paywall!)

NEW: #STL team behind data center proposal at the Armory will host 2 town halls 10/9 at 5:30 via Zoom 10/13 at 5:30 at the Sheet Metal Workers Union Hall More info to come

Chaim Bloom was introduced as the #STLCards president of baseball operations on Tuesday at Busch Stadium. Here are some quick hits from his introductory press conference: www.stltoday.com/sports/profe...

🔌I learned that the size of the data center proposed for 500 Prospect (the Armory lot) would be 96,000 sf. Heard someone say that it would be bigger than what was proposed in St. Charles -- that's incorrect w/ what we know now Don't confuse investment costs with size of a development

Such great investigative work from my colleague who discovered that the company where a worker recently died at has a track record of similar accidents. www.stltoday.com/news/local/b...

ST. LOUIS — National, state and local leaders celebrated the official opening of the $1.7 billion National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency's north side campus Friday, calling it a new era for the agency's more than 80-year partnership with the St. Louis region.

Too many in his north St. Louis community, Theo Ballinger said, are like “crabs in a bucket. They’re climbing over each other to get to the top just to survive.” www.stltoday.com/news/local/g... from story by @stephkukuljan.bsky.social

With NGA opening tomorrow, thought I'd share a memory from the groundbreaking: I asked Lacy Clay how talk about helping North City can turn into action. Thought it was a softball question; instead he yelled at me & said that wasn't his job. He was literally the congressman for the area lol
