Several of them are at rec centers and libraries. 23 people in Missouri died last year due to heat related illnesses. Health officials and the red cross offered advice on [...]

We just got done noting how the AT&T—>Time Warner—>Warner Bros Discovery mergers just keep on demonstrating the absolutely pointlessness of most media mergers.

It's a beautiful afternoon in University City as Jeff and David Lazaroff — better known to St. Louisans as the eclectic jazz-and-soul-infused Americana band Brothers Lazaroff — invite me into their music studio and practice room, located inside the home David shares with his wife and two kids. When David brings me a cup of coffee, it's in a Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum mug, complete with a guitar-shaped handle. It's an unsurprising gesture from a duo that lives and breathes music as players, writers, genre mixologists, sound explorers and ardent fans.

Missouri will enter the new fiscal year Saturday in its best financial shape ever. But there are unmistakable signs that the massive surplus, now approaching $8 billion, has likely peaked.
