The #DataCenter Gold Rush has taken the #stl area by storm. This is an important story for the metro-east.

Over the last few weeks in the Metro East, people learned about data center development company Cloverleaf Infrastructure’s plans for 3 centers in the area. Troy, Granite City, and the third location, Edwardsville, was unknown — until now.

BLTs for lunch today with my homegrown tomatoes that I picked green before the first frost in #stl. They've been doing their magic in brown grocery bags ... Nothing better when it's 17 degrees outside. #stlwx #gardenSunday

Elon Musk once called DOGE 'the chainsaw for bureaucracy,' but it has quietly ceased to exist well ahead of schedule, report says | Fortune "But, the principles of DOGE remain alive and well: de-regulation; eliminating fraud, waste and abuse; re-shaping the federal workforce; making efficiency a first-class citizen; etc."

For everyone who thought Elon Musk and DOGE were the answer, I've got a Big, Beautiful Ballroom to sell you.

Every American should read today's statement from the 9/11 families. They deserve to be heard.

$2,000 tariff rebate checks? 50-year mortgages? Making sense of Trump's new 'affordability' proposals. Ever since Democrats swept the Nov. 4 elections, the president has been trying to regain his footing on cost-of-living issues.

Oh, I get it! When 16-year-olds get their drivers licenses, they should also buy houses. That way, when they reach Medicare age, they can retire with health insurance (maybe) and no house payments!

The #NorthernLights are dancing across my backyard tonight ... the #Aurora reached all the way down to the #stl area.

Elon Musk says Optimus will 'eliminate poverty' in speech after his $1 trillion pay package was approved Elon Musk has spent the last few weeks outlining a future with Optimus — one that will "eliminate" poverty, work, and require a universal income.

Despite all the rabbits Trump lets loose daily, we must never take our eyes off the one who rifled through every nook and cranny of U.S. government.

I poked my head through the hatch at the top of the #GatewayArch 10 years ago for @stlpublicradio.bsky.social when this magnificent monument turned 50. The #stl sky at 630 feet up was rainy, windy & beautiful. I like to think my fingerprints are still up there ... Happy 60th!

Builders of the Gateway Arch say it was a monumental task — and an honor The story of the engineers and ironworkers who built Eero Saarinen's Gateway Arch never gets old, and Wednesday — the 50th anniversary of "topping out"…

The guys who built the #GatewayArch had nerves of stainless steel. I had the honor of talking to them through the years for #stl media. Here's what they had to say 10 years ago, on the 50th anniversary, for @stlpublicradio.bsky.social.

I reported a bunch of stories for @stlpublicradio.bsky.social when the #GatewayArch turned 50, ten years ago, including this interview with legendary activist Percy Green. Back in the day, we used to say that "Journalists Write History Daily." I still think that's true. #stl

And that Union Army officer's hat ... More than 20,000 soldiers from Chicago fought for the Union, joining thousands from Illinois who wore the Union uniform. 35,000 Illinois soldiers died defending this nation against rebels whose Confederate flag is now revered by many in the MAGA camp.
