A St. Louis–area chiropractor accused of spreading misinformation about COVID-19 to sell his vitamins and supplements will have to come up with new marketing tactics.

“The rich get richer and the poor get — children,” F. Scott Fitzgerald wrote in The Great Gatsby. Nothing illustrates the truth of that more than the stage of the Major League Baseball season called the trade deadline. Baseball generates a tremendous a hullabaloo about trading players.
Here we dive into three shows that are now playing (or just left) St. Louis theaters including Clue at Stages St. Louis, Don Pasquale at Union Avenue Opera and the recently departed Little Shop of Horrors at the Muny (but there are still two Muny shows left this summer). The evidence is clear, Clue is a rollicking good time at Stages St. Louis
Stages St. Louis shakes up its season this year with Clue, a hilarious comedy based on the 1985 movie by the same name, which was based on the popular Parker Brothers board game. Director Steve Bebout stays close to the film and a strong cast gamely plays along to the loud and frequent laughter of an appreciative audience.
Not long after a 2021 fire catastrophically damaged the almost century-old vacant building in the middle of the historic downtown in Wood River, Illinois, someone threw out an idea. Or more so, an afterthought.
The Cardinals superfan known as the "Rally Runner" has been arrested and charged for his alleged involvement in the Capitol insurrection, two years after a national news outlet connected him to the breach. Cardinals fans knew the Rally Runner as a 30-something man who ran around Busch Stadium to rev up games. But two years ago, then-Fox News personality Tucker Carlson focused in on footage of him at the Capitol on January 6, 2021, and accused him of being a government agent planted in the crowd as part of a larger conspiracy to prosecute Trump supporters.
If your idea of theater is limited to people with British accents making overly serious speeches, or (even worse) Broadway-style blowouts with full chorus lines of fake felines, you really need to get to St. Lou Fringe. Inspired by the massively popular Fringe Festival begun in Edinburgh in 1947, St. Louis' annual DIY theater festival is both edgy and experimental, racy and riotous, sobering and silly.

Music superfan and St. Louis eccentric Robert Matonis, better known as Beatle Bob, passed away on July 26 from Lou Gehrig's disease. Matonis was famous around St. Louis for regularly appearing at concerts where he would bop along to the beat of his own drummer, occasionally elbowing people in the face. He boasted that he attended concerts every night for 27 years — a streak of 9,439 days (minus the pandemic).
A baseball field that's hosted countless games, both pickup and organized, since the 1950s, was razed by the city this week.

On the night of Saturday, June 22, Kelley Moulton knew instantly what the call she received from the chaplain at a local hospital meant. Her best friend was dying.
If a director were filming a documentary about Gloria Gordon for her 100th birthday, they might start with her first job: organizing, at 22, a standing-room-only rally for presidential candidate Franklin Delano Roosevelt, which led to a second job that captured the interest of Eleanor Roosevelt. Or they might skip ahead to show Gordon in the 1960s, coordinating the now-famous Baby Tooth Survey, which gathered literal proof of radioactivity entering children’s bodies after above-ground tests of nuclear weapons.
A video going viral on Instagram appears to be from a woman shopping at the Whole Foods in Brentwood, Missouri, confronting a man who she says hurled racist remarks at her. Footage of the incident starts with the man kneeling in an aisle, apparently looking at products on a shelf, before the woman recording the video approaches him. The start of her first sentence is cut off, but she approaches the man saying, "...
The entire world was crushed the other day to learn that Pee-wee Herman had gone up to the big Playhouse in the sky. An announcement on Paul Reubens' social media pages said the actor had been fighting cancer in secret for six years before his passing. Reubens kept that secret from the public, likely so he could make sure he kept us laughing until the very end.
Mayor Tishaura Jones, city employees and a downtown developer allegedly retaliated against an outreach worker for his advocacy for St. Louis’ unhoused population, a federal lawsuit claims.

The highlight of every St. Louisan’s life is meeting John Goodman. The Affton, Missouri, native is not just from the area, but he also spends a great deal of time here, too.
