Researchers with the Urban Institute say that a program that ran for three years—giving select Black St. Louisans north of Delmar Boulevard money to invest in their homes or businesses—was an “innovative tool to counter displacement risk,” and found that a marked number of people who received a flexible $22,000 payment were less likely to leave the neighborhood.

Collinsville City Council Unanimously Approves $21.6 Million Capital Improvement Plan

Collinsville’s City Council Meeting on Tuesday, November 10 started with roll call, having all councilpeople present, an invocation from Father Rosa of Ss. Peter and Paul Catholic Church, and the pledge of allegiance. They began with recognition of Michaela Cercherer as Telecommunicator of the Year. Police Chief Brett Boerm spoke about Cercherer’s first two years with the police department were exemplary. She worked in multiple life-saving efforts this year, and while the department has many unsung heroes, Boerm was very proud that Michaela was the second person in their department to be acknowledged for this state-wide award. Next Mayor Jeff Stehman and council acknowledged 314 Vandalia Street as the winners for Yard of the Year. Stehman then read the Proclamation that November 2026 is National American Indian Heritage Month in Collinsville. City Manager Derek Jackson then began a presentation on the 2027 Capital Improvement Plan.

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.

Ask George: Where can a family of 10 go for a holiday dinner in St. Louis?

The question of “a nice place to go with a party of eight to 10” comes up frequently and even more so during the holidays. I started a top-of-mind list that’s by no means all-inclusive.

Dog survived on garbage scraps before heartwarming rescue changes everything

St. Louis, Missouri – Animal rescuers in Missouri were heartbroken to see the state of this emaciated dog, but what happened next left them totally speechless! The brown Pitbull named Valkyrie has suffered for a long time. By the time she arrived at the Stray Rescue of St. Louis, she was just a shadow of her former self.

A bold idea for eyesore parking garage spiral downtown: The Louggenheim

The eight-level Famous Barr parking garage is—for better or worse—among the most recognizable structures in downtown St. Louis. A “fusilli-like spiral of concrete” was how one local writer once described it. It resembles an extremely low rent version of one half of Chicago’s Marina City. It juts out over the sidewalk and for the past decade has primarily been a canvas for graffiti artists (it also made a cameo in the Wall Street Journal’s infamous story about downtown St. Louis’ Doom Loop). No one building a parking garage these days would build one this way.

Adam Pearson’s annual quest: Helping St. Louisans survive the winter’s cold

For years, the City of St. Louis seemed caught off guard by winter. It wasn’t just the lack of urgency around snow plows (although that was certainly striking to anyone moving from a colder climate). It was also that seemingly every winter, people froze to death because the city didn’t have enough shelter beds to get them out of the cold.
