Earlier this morning I said there were two recent Supreme Court cases that left me conflicted. One of them was the decision that killed off the student loan forgiveness program, so let's take a closer look at that.

ALTON - A new area code will begin rolling out on Friday, July 7, to some of those in the 618 region seeking new phone numbers or additional lines. The State of Illinois announced last year that a new 730 area code will "overlay the existing 618 area code to address the depletion of prefixes available for assignment within the region.” The 618 area code covers 37 counties in southern Illinois and includes the communities of Alton, Belleville, Bethalto, Carbondale, East St. Louis, Edwardsville, Fairview Heights, Glen Carbon, Grafton, Granite City, Jerseyville, Wood River, and more. The state further clarified that 730 numbers may begin appearing after Friday, but most areas will still have some 618 numbers available. “While many individual 618 telephone numbers remain unassigned, an area code is deemed to be ‘exhausted’ when the last available prefix has been assigned. While 730 telephone numbers will begin to appear in the second half of 2023, there wil

ALTON - This week, because of construction at Riverview Park, the The Alton Municipal Band's Thursday concert is moving to the Alton Amphitheater. At 7:30 p.m. this Thursday, July 6, the Alton Municipal Band will perform at the Alton Amphitheater, with a picturesque view of Clark Bridge and the Mississippi River.

It was a big weekend in St. Louis for artists with ’80s heydays — first Debbie Gibson on Friday and then Bryan Adams with Joan Jett on Saturday. While Gibson showed plenty of vintage MTV footage on screen during her River City Casino show, legendary VJ Alan Hunter was not on hand; however, Hunter was indeed front and center for Bryan Adams though not as front nor as center as Ralph Morse, a classic rock superfan who wears black decorated bowler hats and scores the choicest seats for every legends show in town these days.
