a sunset over water in Forest Park in late January. Most of the trees are still bare, branches reaching upwards without leaves, but the evergreens form solid silhouettes against a sky that is blue, pink, and white. As above, so is below as the lake reflects back the sky and tree line with vivid color.

Today is Transgender Day of Visibility. Here in St. Louis city, in the 9th Ward, we want you to feel wanted, expected, loved and respected. No one can erase you as long as you refuse to be erased, though they will try. Now and always, we will stand with our transgender and nonbinary neighbors.

A severe storm is rolling into the St. Louis area. There will be strong winds ( gusts up to 70 mph), and a possibility of tornadoes and large hail. Please take necessary precautions by moving anything that could blow around indoors, and have a plan to take shelter away from doors and windows.

"The incident at the Walgreens on Lindell yesterday was a tragedy, and represents the kind of senseless violence that our city is working hard to prevent. At this time the suspect is in custody, and the three victims are in stable condition. We are grateful for that. The city will be working with the area businesses to find the best approach to keeping patrons and employees safe. That job is made more difficult when the state of Missouri allows unfettered access to guns, such that a 19 year old shooter was able to obtain a gun and use it to harm three people yesterday.
This incident should never have happened, and as our police routinely remind us: when everyone has a gun, we are all less safe. Rather than a change in police oversight that did nothing to decrease crime in Kansas City, the state could help St. Louis by focusing on passing common sense gun control."

Water main break at Manchester and Vandeventer. Workers are on site. Please be advised that nearby apartments and businesses might be without water until midnight or even tomorrow.

Big thank you to our Water Division employees for working to resolve this.

The developer stated that the city's process for approving demolition of the current building required pre-development costs in excess of $1 million. The conversion of this site into a tax-paying entity with residents living in it would have been great for the city and the neighborhood.

The Keeley proposal for 4568 West Pine (former Boy Scouts building) has been withdrawn. This is bad news for the city, because we currently get $0 from this site since the Boy Scouts are a non-profit.

Had a great time with the @stlurbanists.bsky.social riding the #10 bus down Lindell Boulevard to Vandeventer and walking back down to Euclid Avenue. The goal of the Lindell redesign is to improve the street for all modes of transit, something these young advocates are very passionate about.

Snow turns St. Louis sidewalks into hazards. Some hope to increase enforcement. The City of St. Louis has an ordinance requiring sidewalk snow removal, but that hasn't prevented sidewalks from being hazardous or impassable for a big chunk of 2025.

The city is aware that the lights are flashing red at the intersection of Highway 64/40 and Kingshighway. Proceed with caution or find another route.

DO NOT call 911. We are aware of the issue and are working with MODOT to get it fixed as soon as possible.

Incredible time at Forest Park Southeast’s annual Great Gathering. Friends, neighbors, visitors, community organizations, and local partners all came together to create a welcoming event with free food, beer, soda, water, live music, yard games and more. The people of FPSE make me proud to live here

A stage with two people, Greg FX Daly, a white man wearing a blue suit, and Shameem Clark Hubbard, a black woman wearing an orange dress, both standing at a podium. Next to them, a large screen shows the picture of an award shaped like a jewel, and the text advertises β€œThe 2021 and 2022 Jewel Awards” along with many sponsors of the event. At the front of the stage, the STLTV logo sits. The logo is the letters STL in red, TV in black, with a sweeping stylized arch over the letters and a flowing red line underneath.

Tonight we celebrate @STLTVChannel and honor the individuals who bring excellent programming (and the Board of Aldermen meetings) to St. Louisans. We really do have one of the best local access programs in the country.

A view of the old downtown firehouse at 314 Tucker. It is built of old brown and black brick. In this picture, you can see two big bay doors where the fire trucks exit. There are two red lights in the middle between the doors, that flash to warn a truck is coming out. Above, two half circle windows sit above the doors. The top of the building has crenellations, like a castle.

A close shot of one of the doors. It is dark brown, made of metal. Next to it, on the brown brick, three numbers show the address: 314. It happens to also be the area code for most St. Louis area phone numbers.

I had the opportunity to tour the downtown firehouse a couple of weeks ago. It was great to talk with our firefighters and see pieces of history. You probably drive by this building and don’t even realize it’s there.
