The Missouri Supreme Court on Wednesday heard arguments over the constitutionality of a wide-ranging law passed by the legislature last year banning sleeping on public land. Missouri lawmakers made sleeping on state-owned land a Class C misdemeanor, along with a slew of other provisions such as restricting state funding for permanent supportive housing in favor […]
Sure, you've seen fairy gardens along the sidewalks of city streets — a little cottage here, a kitschy fairy queen there, some shiny stones creating a path for a unicorn between them. But the outcropping of fairy homes on the piney edge of Francis Park is an actual fairy village.
When Tina Turner died in May, there was an outpouring of emotion across the world as fans mourned. We felt the loss most acutely here in St. Louis because we considered Turner one of our own.
That final episode of Mad Men is iconic for good reason, as it perfectly captures 1950s ad man Don Draper moving into the groovy late-1960s by both achieving hippie spiritual enlightenment and also learning how to use said enlightenment to sell soda. However, even more importantly for Jon Hamm, St. Louis' favorite son and one of the city's most ardent boosters, it was on the set of the Mad Men finale that he met his future wife, Anna Osceola.
We've had many favorite animals at the Saint Louis Zoo, but we were still not prepared for the joy that would enter our hearts when we encountered Rhubarb the ginger monkey. A Francois' langur (pronounced frahn-SWAH LANG-err), her beautiful hair was the color of the setting sun when she was just a newborn babe.

If we're being honest, the Circuit Attorney's Office has been a heck of a lot less fun to cover since Kim Gardner resigned in May. No, the office hasn't been perfect since former federal prosecutor and Dowd Bennett partner Gabriel Gore took over on May 30, but things have been way less chaotic. While that may be a bummer for the city's journos, it's a godsend for everyone else.
Former alderman Brandon Bosley got a head start on the 2023 competition when, a few days before last Christmas, he pulled a gun on a woman lying in the snow and threatened to shoot her — all while streaming the proceedings on Facebook. The scion of a local political dynasty claimed that the woman had tried to carjack him, though the story never really added up.
We defended Kim Gardner a long time — longer than we should have. We knew the justice system needed reform, and we were hopeful that, for all her flaws, she could be a change agent.
Mary Anne Sedey is well under five feet tall, with the kind of high-energy warmth that leads people to deploy metaphors like "firecracker" and "pistol." It's impossible not to enjoy her company — unless, perhaps, you're facing off in court.

The McPherson blog has been quiet as of late, but maybe that's because the man behind it, Jack Grone, has moved his commentary over to X, the social media site formerly known as Twitter. @McPherSTL's posts often highlight what isn't being said in the political conversation du jour: the silence of city officials as Kim Gardner's office crashed and burned, their generally quiet acceptance of Mayoral Dad Virvus Jones' trolling tweets.
