2 years 7 months ago
A shudder of horror went through St. Louis music fans earlier this year when the legendary  BB's Jazz, Blues & Soups (700 South Broadway, bbsjazzbluessoups.com) closed  its doors temporarily for renovations without announcing a reopening date.

2 years 7 months ago
EDWARDSVILLE — Madison County State’s Attorney Thomas A. Haine announced Wednesday that a judge has approved his office’s petition to have a Madison man declared sexually dangerous and committed to the Illinois Department of Corrections. Following a bench trial, Associate Judge Neil Schroeder on Monday granted the Sexually Dangerous Person Act petition filed by the State’s Attorney’s Office against 58-year-old David F. Brown.

2 years 7 months ago
ALTON - The City of Alton has announced it is changing its domain in 2023 from cityofaltonil.com and altonpolice.com to cityofaltonil.gov . Here are a few fundamental reasons why: This change will increase the security and searchability of our online presence. The first set of standards for domains, developed in the 1980s, originally designated .com for commercial purposes and .gov for government. To maintain domain integrity, eligibility is limited to qualified government organizations and programs.
