Those who have followed Music at the Intersection's evolution since the fest's first iteration in 2021 know what to expect by this point: a diverse lineup of forward-thinking national blues, jazz, funk, soul, rock, hip-hop and R&B acts commingling in Grand Center with some of St. Louis' best artists of similar genres, presented on equal footing and in celebration of our city's many contributions to the history of American music.

Every few weeks for the last fifteen years there’s been a massive scandal involving some company, telecom, data broker, or app maker over-collecting your detailed personal location data, failing to secure it, then selling access to that information to any nitwit with a nickel. And despite the added risks this creates in the post-Roe era, we’ve still done little to […]

The poll shows Wesley Bell leading in the upcoming primary for Cori Bush's St. Louis-area congressional seat.

The city of Berkeley is about to look different, as the city's redevelopment plan gets into full swing. Monday morning, demolition began on the old Berkeley City Hall building at 6140 N. Hanley Road. City leaders claimed the demolition signifies a "pivotal moment" for Berkeley's urban landscape. The city has its new city hall up and running off Airport Road. "It's a very exciting day to me and, it's been a long coming," Mayor Babatunde Deinbo said. This is all a part of a "transformative journey,"…

When the Rev. Mark Miller discovered that the century-old welcome sign in front of his church had been destroyed last August, he initially assumed it was vandalism. It wouldn't have been the first time Westminster Presbyterian Church was targeted. Just a year before, in fact, more than a dozen windows and a door on the church building in St. Louis' Skinker-DeBaliviere neighborhood had been broken.

Like a phoenix that has risen from the ashes of an outlet mall, the strip of buildings has become the District, a conglomeration of entertainment options, food and drink.

Disgraced lawyer and perennial loser Mark McCloskey has never met an exhausting culture-war talking point he didn't like, nor a ridiculously racist remark he wouldn't espouse, and so it's no surprise that he completely soaked his diaper yesterday upon learning about Andra Day's performance of the 19th-century hymn "Lift Every Voice and Sing" at the Super Bowl on Sunday. The failed Senate candidate and current host of Mark McCloskey on Fire, the title of which unfortunately is just a turn of phrase and does not literally describe the format of the radio show (hey, I'd listen), took to Twitter on Monday afternoon to pontificate on how Black people should no longer have voting rights in the United States, among other things. "If African Americans have their own national anthem, then that means they have their own nation, so if they are not part of the USA they shouldn't be getting any US benefits: no Medicare/Medicaid, no social security payments, no Obama care, no food stamps, no housing assistance, etc.

The Missouri Senate begins a heated debate on a proposal to make constitutional amendments more challenging to pass. The same process that put recreational marijuana on the ballot is now being used to try to secure abortion rights, but Senate Republicans want to make it harder for voters to amend the Constitution.
