The old library shelves are long gone, but the stacks are still here. Only now they hold LPs, 45s, 8-tracks, and cassettes instead of books. This 1961 mid-century modern building once served readers as a public library branch. Today it’s a used record store packed from floor to ceiling.

I-270 Mississippi River Bridge completed

New westbound span opens Nov. 16, a Rebuild Illinois achievement advancing improvements to a critical freight corridor in the Metro East MADISON COUNTY — The Illinois and Missouri departments of transportation were joined by local leaders and industry partners today to cut the ribbon on the new Interstate 270 Chain of Rocks twin bridges crossing the Mississippi River, the centerpiece of a combined $531.6 million investment to improve safety and mobility while creating jobs and economic opportunity along a critical freight and travel corridor. The bridges are the latest achievement made possible by Gov. JB Pritzker’s historic Rebuild Illinois capital program, which is delivering billions of dollars in major projects across the state this fall. ​ “Illinois is the gateway to the world — representing one of the most important commerce hubs in the country. Whether it’s workers making their commute or delivery drivers moving freight, Illinoisians deserve a safe and reliable system to get where they need to go,” said Gov. Pritzker. “With the completion of the I-270 Mississippi River Bridge, we are creating better paying jobs, expanding access to regional travel and spurring economic growth for communities across the state.” Construction of the bridges has been overseen by

Illinois health officials prep to transfer patients from metro-east hospital

Illinois regulators are preparing to potentially transfer patients out of Gateway Regional Medical Center in Granite City and ambulances are being sent to other hospitals. The hospital is still open, but the Illinois Department of Public Health confirmed Gateway and another medical center owned by the same company are on bypass status due to “staffing instability.” St. Louis-based KMOV first reported the development. The operators of the 278-bed safety net hospital have been late paying staff. An IDPH spokesman said that the agency had alerted the state’s labor and employment security departments about unmet payroll at Gateway and at Vista Medical Center in Waukegan, Illinois. Both hospitals are owned by California-based company American Healthcare Systems. “Gateway and Vista are private, for-profit hospitals whose operations and finances are managed by American Healthcare Systems. Their lack of communication, transparency, and responsible financial management and contingency planning is extremely concerning,” the spokesman for the IDPH said in an email. “The Illinois Department of Public Health’s highest immediate priority is the health and safety of the patients and has been working and communicating with hospital administrative leaders in this regard.” Representatives from Gateway Regional Medical Center and American Healthcare Systems did not respond to

I-70 widening moves forward on 44-mile Missouri stretch

Missouri has selected a contractor team for a $583 million project to widen 44 miles of Interstate 70 between Kingdom City and Warrenton. The Missouri Highways and Transportation Commission selected the Millstone Weber Team as the apparent best-value proposer, according to a community announcement. The team includes contractor Millstone Weber, designer Jacobs Inc. and key partner WSP. Contract negotiations are underway. The project will add a third lane in each direction and replace existing I-70 pavement between Kingdom City and Warrenton with new full-depth concrete pavement. Plans also include three bridge replacements, six bridge rehabilitations, a fourth eastbound lane at Mineola Hill to serve as a climbing lane and a redesigned Norfolk Southern Railroad crossing at High Hill. The 44-mile project is the sixth in Missouri's Improve I-70 Program, a $2.8 billion effort to add a third lane in each direction and make other improvements along nearly 200 miles of I-70 from Blue Springs to Wentzville. “Choosing the Millstone Weber Team as the Design-Build contractor for the Improve I-70: Kingdom City to Warrenton project is another important milestone for MoDOT’s Statewide Improve I-70 Program,” MHTC Chairman Warren Erdman said in the announcement. Millstone Weber also is delivering the program's Columbia-to-Kingdom

Clayco’s Bob Clark doesn’t see doom and gloom for data centers in Democratic victory

Bob Clark is feeling optimistic. The Clayco founder, St. Louis County resident, and current face of American data center construction—he was on the cover of Forbes last month, making his pitch—is a lifelong Democrat, and was thrilled to see voters deliver a rebuke to the White House. “I’ve been very nervous about democracy in general,” he says, “and I think this is a great direction for the country.” He doesn’t mention President Donald Trump by name; he doesn’t have to.

The Key opens its doors and dance floor to all of St. Louis

Tucked into the southern edge of the Grand Center Arts District, The Key Burger Bar & Boogie occupies two of the last historic buildings standing from the old Mill Creek community. Saint Louis University once held the demolition permit. A chorus of public outcry from preservationists, historians and neighbors who remembered what the buildings had been stopped the wrecking ball. The Kranzberg Arts Foundation stepped in, partnered with SLU, the Landmarks Association and the Arch to Park Equity Fund and did something St. Louis does well. It kept the limestone, the tension trusses, the tin ceilings and built a future underneath them.
