Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 16:52:26 GMT

ST. LOUIS - Over the weekend, flooding slammed interstate highways and other major roads in the St. Louis area."When it comes in a lot fewer days and a lot smaller storms, you have these massive storms that hit, and there is just nothing that’s going to take that away," said Brian Hoelscher, executive director and CEO of the Metropolitan Sewer District (MSD). "That immediate area is going to flood. Everything is going to go underwater."Hoelscher explained the possible solutions to the flooding problem. Missouri AG: Gardner was at nursing school during contempt of court hearing "So there‘s two options, and they're different from each one.

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 16:52:26 GMT

ST. LOUIS - A St. Louis crime summit is set for Wednesday after another weekend of street fights, gunfire, and reckless driving downtown. Several issues seem to be making St. Louis a magnet for mayhem. A week ago, the St. Louis Metropolitan Police Department announced an unmistakable show of force to bring downtown under control. Then, over the past few days, the same issues erupted in almost the same place as they have for nearly a year, near 9th and Locust. Rampant gunfire, reckless driving, and fighting happened on that street on New Year’s Eve. There were similar issues in the same spot the past two weekends. “We’ve had the same thing time and time again,” said St. Louis Alderwoman Cara Spencer, whose 8th Ward includes part of downtown. “We’ve got some problematic landlords. We’ve got some ‘Airbnb’ property owners that have got to be reigned in.”  Missouri AG: Gardner was at nursing school during contempt of court hearing Authorities said people book short-...

Warren Zanes remembers the first time he heard “Nebraska,” the landmark 1982 album by Bruce Springsteen.The record, with its now-famous black, white and red cover, came as a shock to fans of the Boss, who weren’t expecting stripped-down instrumentation and production and dark songs about people on the margins, facing sometimes impossible circumstances.Zanes, who had been turned on to Springsteen’s music by his older brother, first heard the album while at boarding school, where he had just been busted for drinking beer and smoking pot. (He didn’t get in trouble with his mother, who he says had bought the beer and grown the pot.)“‘Nebraska,’” Zanes says, “just had this defiance and refusal to behave that I associated with punk rock, however different the sound, the instrumentation, the subject matter.
