2 years 4 months ago
Stepping from the sun-scorched sidewalk into the shaded canopy beneath the trees teleported me from an asphalt desert to a cool, green oasis. Here, on June 26, I met the sweet fragrance of 1,000 flowers, heard the songs of 100 birds and stood with the dozens of people enjoying the smells, sights and sounds of the Sustainable Backyard Tour.

St. Louis Father Found Guilty of Killing Disabled Son

2 years 4 months ago
After listening to five days of testimony from more than 30 witnesses, a jury deliberated for only a little more than two hours before declaring Dawan Ferguson, 49, guilty of murder for killing his nine-year-old disabled son in 2003. All week the trial has been marked by interruptions and delays, and this morning’s proceedings got under way more than two hours behind schedule, with the jury not entering the courtroom until a few minutes before noon. With the jury in place, the prosecution and defense each had one last chance to argue their version of what happened on the morning June 11, 2003.

Unsurprisingly, Eric Schmitt Vows to Wage War Against Abortion Travel Funds

2 years 4 months ago
In a move that surprises no one, Missouri Attorney General Eric Schmitt has threatened to punish local governments that have proposed abortion support funds. On Friday, Schmitt said local governments that attempt to use taxpayer dollars to support abortion funds could expect a lawsuit from his office, which has sued area school districts, Dr. Fauci and China for the Coronavirus in recent years. In the seven days since Schmitt outlawed most abortions in Missouri, St. Louis County and St. Louis City have announced plans to form abortion support funds to help Missourians cross state lines to receive abortion care.

Eater Names Juniper's Fried Chicken Among the Best in the USA

2 years 4 months ago
Even before the beloved Southern-inflected Juniper (4101 Laclede Avenue, 314-329-7696) opened its doors in 2013, fried chicken was its thing. It was the basis of one of owner John Perkins' earliest pop-up dinners, Le Coq, and it set the tone for the sort of restaurant he wanted to create when he served his first guests at Juniper's original location on North Boyle Avenue. For a brief moment, it was taken off the menu because of overexposure, then it came back by popular demand and made its way a few blocks down the road when Juniper moved to its current spot four years ago.

St. Louis Standards: 40 Years In, Hank's Cheesecakes Still Keeps It Sweet

2 years 4 months ago
Anthony Favazza knew that taking over as iconic an institution as Hank's Cheesecakes (1063 Big Bend Boulevard, Richmond Heights; 314-781-0300) in the middle of a pandemic would have its challenges. However, even a lifetime of working in the food business did not prepare him for dealing with the most existential threat to a cheesecake operation: a global cream cheese shortage. "The whole supply-chain disaster has been challenging for everyone, but it has been multitudes more challenging here at Hank's," Favazza says.
