Two months after the former church that held SK8 Liborius went up in flames, the building assessment started Thursday morning in north St. Louis. At the end of June, a massive fire destroyed the historic landmark. The church, at 1850 Hogan St., was built in the 1800s.

ALTON - A new mural is set to be painted at 136 Front Street in Alton starting in early September. The organization Alton Main Street has commissioned Robert Fishbone and On the Wall Productions to paint the mural. Fishbone has created nearly 200 murals in his 50-year career. The Alton mural, titled “Alton Flyway Mural,” will be a recreation of a painting by local artist James K.
