A wiener pulled into Uranus this week. Uranus Examiner, a small-town Missouri paper known for probing deep, reports that a wiener arrived in Uranus on Tuesday and parked near the fudge factory. Look at the size of that wiener.
Narrow Gauge Brewing Company is something of an underground phenomenon. Opened in 2016 as a brewpub in Cugino's Italian eatery (1595 North Highway 67; Florissant), the brewery only started limited local distribution in late 2021. The brand is still relatively unknown to casual St. Louis drinkers.
If you can’t choose one medium this weekend to engage your creative juices, why not choose them all?

The website for the small north county municipality of Bellerive Acres lists the address for its administrative offices as being within the city hall for nearby Pasadena Hills, where Bellerive Acres has rented space since July 2021. A recent visit to that address, however, revealed that no Bellerive Acres’ employees work there.

Granted, there is no better oyster-eating background track than the sound of crashing waves. Though the lapping waters of the Mississippi can't quite cut it, there is still hope when you get a hankering for chilled bivalves on the halfshell.

On a Friday afternoon in late December, Geri Curtis received a disturbing phone call informing her she had only five days to find a new home for a developmentally disabled person.

Carla “Coffee” Wright says she’s lived in her house in the 21st Ward long enough to run for the Board of Aldermen. But neighbors tell the RFT the house she claims to live in has long been abandoned.
If you're at Ivy Cafe (14 North Meramec Avenue, Clayton; 314-776-9377) on a weekday, sometime in the two o'clock hour, there's a good chance you'll bear witness to the revelation upon which the restaurant is based. That's roughly the time when co-owner Julie Keane pulls her sourdough from the oven — something you'll know is happening by the way the intoxicating aroma scents the air. For quality control purposes, of course, Keane often pulls one of the loaves for herself, cracking it open with her hands and then placing in it a good-sized cube of unsalted butter that slowly melts, soaking into every nook and cranny so that the interior glistens.
Yesterday in Jefferson City, Representative Cody Smith (R-Carthage) announced that he wanted to remove all state funding for libraries in Missouri. Smith, who is the chairman of the House Budget Committee, has submitted revisions to the state's proposed budget for next fiscal year, including taking the $4.5 million allocated for libraries and reducing that number to zero. Smith says he's upset that library associations are suing to stop a law that went into effect in August that bans "explicit sexual material" from school libraries.
For months, the building that's soon to become Sado (5201 Shaw Avenue) has shown few signs of life — no "coming soon" or even a sign with the restaurant's name on it. But looks can be deceiving: Behind the shuttered doorways of what used to be Giovanni's, one of St. Louis' most hotly anticipated restaurants has been taking shape. Next Tuesday, March 28, says Chef Nick Bognar, it will open its doors.
St. Louis is not to American soccer what Cooperstown, New York, is to baseball or Springfield, Massachusetts, is to basketball. The sport had already gained a foothold in the northeastern U.S. decades before a St. Louisan named Thomas W. Cahill became the primary force for the sport's American emergence.
Early in the pandemic, Rick Giordano was having a few socially distanced porch beers with his pal Kenny Snarzyk of the Crow's Nest and musing about what St. Louis really needed. Their answer: a pizza joint where the duo could "play metal all the time." Something close to those pandemic musings is set to become a reality.
Missouri Attorney General Andrew Bailey's quest to remove Kim Gardner from office continued today when he filed a 120-page amended petition in circuit court accusing the embattled circuit attorney of a litany of failures while in office, including a failure to prosecute a man who killed a seven-year-old. According to Bailey's court filing, Gardner's mismanagement has resulted in judges dismissing more than 2,700 cases. Gardner's own office has dismissed more than 9,000 cases due to a lack of diligence, the amended petition says.
In 2020, St. Louis roots rocker John Henry released an album, Out at Sea, just as the pandemic hit. After a series of delays, Henry was determined to find a way to play an album-release concert mid-pandemic.
