If you want to know where the St. Louis City forestry workers are, there’s more than 2 dozen cleaning up the medians and around the NGA

My husband’s running routes all have motivational names like “carondelet death wish” and “river des peres sucks” and shockingly I said I’m not interested in trying to walk one of those routes this weekend

"will be reducing the number of traffic lanes from two in each direction to one. Bike lanes and dedicated left turn-lanes are also part of the plan. The posted speed limit through that area of Old Halls Ferry is 35 mph. A one-week traffic study found 140 drivers were traveling at more than 70

“The city is working to reclaim some of these vacant properties and buildings. A spokesperson for the SLDC says the organization is in the process of negotiating with McKee on a settlement value for the properties he owns within the area covered by the blighting/redev plan that Aldridge helped pass”

Even more confused now - "The vacated area will be used to consolidate property for construction of an athletic field and future stadium."

Strangely no tips in here for traffic engineers

The burden of responsibility is carried by all, but needs to be proportional to the danger created by how we choose to get around. Articles that try to put the burden on pedestrians & bike riders to wear something different, or to be extra attentive fail to educate the public towards solutions.

I wanted to see the progress myself around the NGA. Cass is being repaved just around the NGA for its ribbon cutting. The sidewalks across the street are missing at best. A public road is closed because it goes past McKee’s failed “hospital” and its 4 security vehicles, and nature has taken over.

there are billions flowing through STL every year, and the city can't figure out how scoop a cup from that flow, and put it to work for public transit. in fact bi-state just spent $52 million turning metrolink entrances into dysfunctional prison gates moundcitymessenger.com/2025/01/29/m...

Data Centers are so unpopular, the St. Charles mayor is now facing a recall after trying to push a crony deal. Sleepy St. Chuck became the 1st US city to ban data centers. Angry residents started digging into the mayor's corruption. STL city electeds should learn www.stlpr.org/government-p...

Alex, I’ll take What Are #ConflictsOfInterestSTL for $10,000? McBride has not recused himself from development board votes* on incentives for projects involving contributors to #NexusPAC Examples: 1) Delmar diViNe 2 (Paric). See images for #LCRAstl 2) Preservation Square (McCormack Baron Salazar)

St. Louis City electeds who accepted from Nexus PAC 2023-mid2025 💰 Mayor Spencer, fmr Mayor Jones 💰 Comptroller Baringer 💰 Board Prez Green 💰 Treasurer Layne 💰 Alders Aldridge, Boyd, Clark-Hubbard, Cohn, Keys, Schweitzer. Velazquez 💰 accused rapist State Sen Roberts 💰 State Rep Murray

Weird because it seems like the accident was caused by one driver hitting another, unless wet roads can now attack cars www.firstalert4.com/2025/09/25/t...

I can now recognize the security envelope patterns and associate them with specific insurance companies and I hate this skill.

We need more eyes on this. The city is clearly not even tracking progress by block, confirming delivery of services, or overseeing in any meaningful way. That doesn’t require FEMA or their money since we literally have someone assigned to this.

My bonfire of STL studies was rejected but this one probably benefits more people

Today’s walk was one I expected to be very boring but I saw more interesting things than expected. I also had several women want to chat about photos I was taking and they had such good neighborhood insights. I think all were a bit afraid of what I was doing but my love of STL always comes through.

Question for @caraspencer.bsky.social @saintlouispres.bsky.social Where is the applicant’s information (required by Executive Order 92) for the #500Prospecr data center proposal posted online for public review prior to the 9/25 conditional hearing? #datacenterSTL #ArmoryTIF #SLU353

disney adults are currently doing pretty much exactly what they should be doing, and dumping on them is super counterproductive.

Goodbye old friend

What could be better than a cute home with a lovely front garden? Obviously a gas station is the solution for this blight.

OK, as someone who actually covered the Missouri Legislature when there were a lot of anti-abortion rights Democrats, this strategy does not work. First of all, the last prominent Missouri Democrat who opposed abortion rights and won a statewide race was Thomas Eagleton. ... In 1980.

I don’t have a lot of sympathy for very wealthy, privileged people who are capitulating to fascism and/or staying silent because they’re “scared.” People are being dragged out of their homes and people who could be next are *still* speaking up. Silence won’t protect you but it emboldens them

Three rounds of redlines in under 24 hours nearly killed me so now that I've finished that, it's onto redlines for personal projects and trying not to die of heat stroke on today's walk

"A complaint filed last year alleged a former St. Louis police officer forced a 7-year-old girl to have oral sex. Child welfare services substantiated the accusation. An evidentiary hearing on his license is scheduled for Oct. 7. He has since gotten a job with a different department."

You want to be alive, but they want you dead. We’re a new, well, funded democratic group that thinks you can meet them halfway.

Once you walk all of St. Louis, you start to see the patterns of fire, demolition by neglect, evasion of the demo permit denials, and loss. In this case, the property owner brings it all in his many properties.

And in other St. Louis City nuisance property news, Dutchtown is suing a property owner More and more neighborhoods are using the courts to stop demolition by neglect in lieu of City Hall doing its job. Wayback Machine archive.today/2025.09.16-1...

It is very weird to see so many prominent journalists explicitly refuse to double down on morality and reality in favor of doubling down on capitulation. When has telling the truth mattered more than right now?

“Anti-trans harassment and violence is all the rage. Trans people are afraid to leave the country, let alone leave their houses. The right-wing ecosystem has gladly spent years creating these conditions, while Democrats have by turns avoided saying anything about them at all” 😞 👉🏻 archive.ph/ewBhT

My heart and lungs can’t do another day of this. Get it together STL. #stlwx

Less fantastical than the last two #ootd, these two dresses, while avant-garde, are actually wearable. Both are distinct yet fascinating modern interpretations of chain mail. The first is from 1967 by metalwork expert Paco Rabanne. He said, "My designs are weapons," and the

When I was placed on the Professor Watchlist in 2021, people sent death threats about my children. I had security officers monitor my 8yo at school. Where is all the outrage for those of us who have been targeted for years? Where is the outrage for our families? My own colleagues are silent.

Deeply disturbing. Missouri is implementing age verification for 18+ sites through its AG. No vote, no legislation, just the Attorney General implementing the policy and forcing AV on its residents www.komu.com/news/state/n...

The last 48 hours have shown why people have stopped relying on legacy journalism and have migrated to independent journalists in droves. The benefit of legacy journalism is supposed to be “editors” and “factchecking” and they can’t even get that right in a rush to blame trans people.

The story of my life 🙃

Reporters talking with everyone who has ever met the shooter asking if the shooter knew any trans people. Healthy society we have here for sure.

Gift article In addition to the ADA, the proposed class-action alleges Chicago has violated Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973. It requests an order requiring the city to promptly fix damaged and deteriorated sidewalks, curb ramps and crosswalks.

If local news had shown up, they might have caught that the drivers’ relative came to the crime scene. They might have found out what the relative said and did that was so bad that is has resulted in protests today outside a business she works for, and a call for boycott

New food obsession just dropped: Tandoori Chicken Biryani from the recently rebranded Namaste Curry Lounge. The tandoori chicken has so much flavor and the rice, oh the rice! I know it's a basic bitch sounding order but they flavor they bring is anything but basic.
