Brewhouse lofts struck a deal to purchase some overflow Budweiser parking. Kept the parking requirements for the actual loft down and now some empty concrete gets foot traffic.

NVIDIA patent for AR glasses just dropped. Everyone is so focused on headsets that they’re ignoring the obvious leap in technology right around the corner!

Aldermanic president Megan Green details childcare and secondary education support with Rams funds St. Louis Board of Aldermen president Megan Green addresses ways the Rams settlement funds with the TRANSFORM STL Act will help provide affordable child care and ultimately increase population growth.

I’ll be interested to see how this bill evolves. Green is in lockstep with Mayor Jones here and out of step with the board of Alders she has to pass this through. I think it’s probably 70% there which is a decent starting spot.

What a difference two years makes! One restored home and two new builds hitting the markets in a few months in Soulard!

Logic production services to move Valley Park HQ to Grand Arts District - fantastic news and a round of applause for Krantzbergs role in getting this across the finish line.

As a ten year Hue household, I was skeptical. But you sold me on this.

Threads was a massive own goal. The open hostility toward journalism and journalists who wanted an alternative to Twitter mixed with a wacky algorithm really proved to be its downfall.

And Bluesky’s emergence over the past month just proves how much of a failure Threads was in the end.

They also made vast swathes completely unwalkable. To this day, walking from Soulard to downtown is an uncomfortable, seemingly unsafe and unsightly experience, and it’s mostly due to I-55 passing over Broadway. It’s bad design, and we should be routing through-traffic to270/255.

MODOT designed the highway system that flows through St. Louis City. Odd that residents start flocking from the areas at the same as the highways getting built - they not only create noise and pollution, but they also make for quicker getaways for criminals.

The most dangerous roads in America have one thing in common We can fix our staggering car fatality crisis. Start with these roads.

β€œAlthough only 14 percent of urban road miles nationwide are under state control, two-thirds of all crash deaths in the 101 largest metro areas occur there.”

If you could magically bring back one StL venue, I know the correct answer is Mississippi Nights. But my heart always says Cicero’s. So many great memories there.

We loved Grateful Pets. Five weeks and a training collar ran a little over $1200 and came with free doggy day care included.

MoDOT halts work on Chesterfield curb bump out islands The Missouri Department of Transportation has paused work on a road safety project in parts of Chesterfield following driver complaints.

Chesterfield residents rage over being forced to drive safer speeds. MODOT bends to the pressure. News at 11.

I’m pro this project, but don’t understand why they need the curb cut on Shenandoah - that could be another home and everyone just uses the alley entrance.

Mine kept 404’ing. Whatever. Not sure it’s actually useful other than being a time capsule I never look at.

Silo was such a great surprise. AppleTV+ continues to kill it in the science fiction genre. Can’t wait to continue this story.

Found out it’s probably not a new eats spot - just a business occupying that spot.

No there’s something moving into 10 Broadway where their current offices are. I don’t know anything more other than the side (Market) doors have been inaccessible lately.
