Graffiti can't get more St. Louis than this.

Tom Hamilton was already the best ever. But between this and his call on the game-tying, two-out, 9th-inning bomb from Big Christmas (among other highlights), he might've just had the best game of his legendary career.

Cleveland in six!

Sadly he's a few years too late to play for noted space expert Ned Yost.

That's one small step for Paul DeJong.
One giant leap in the standings.

@BoyceUpholt If the food and the good cause aren't enough of a sell, there are also nifty giveaways. Tempted to build a collection!

Half a trillion cicadas are beginning to emerge in St. Louis. The welcome party begins in my lawn as @_BryceGray tells us all about their long nap. https://t.co/PCZ2npTAxM

Another day, another brush with heat records, as St. Louis suffers through a heat wave that is threatening to rewrite local record books in both intensity and duration.

[St. Louis Post-Dispatch @stltoday]

This week’s combination of heat and humidity has already delivered some of the highest heat index values ever recorded in the region — Tuesday's topped out at 117 degrees. https://t.co/EBpxa5uNtV

If you missed it: Here’s our weekend read about flood-damaged homes left vacant or condemned, and the long road to #flood recovery that many area residents have endured for the past year and counting.

Perhaps my favorite genre: An entertaining merger of small-town Montana news and bigger questions about the future of transportation and energy in rural America.

Last week we went into the River Des Peres tunnel, which is strewn with massive piles of concrete moved by the #flood-prone waterway. Experts say lingering blockages there and in the channel upstream worsen flood risks. But no one is acting to clean it up.

St. Louis is facing quite the week of whiplash from one #climate risk to another:

Smoke from Canadian wildfires yesterday and today.

Dangerous, triple-digit heat tomorrow and on Friday.

@PaigeBlank Congrats, Paige! Hats off to a great run at HCN, and I'm excited to see what's next with Vox.

Canadian wildfire smoke hits St. Louis ahead of triple-digit heat. St. Louis skyline as seen looking down Market Street at Jefferson and the skyline is totally blocked out as seen from the Skinker Blvd. exit from 64/40. https://t.co/mJLjPTN8QS via @stltoday A

When Doves Fly...

Loved this story’s many surprises, from young doves ("squabs," apparently) finding their way home from across the state, to the unfortunate encounter a flock had with the Olympic cauldron in 1988.

[St. Louis Post-Dispatch @stltoday]

Dove releases boom in the St. Louis area. Owners train them to return from miles away. https://t.co/4eZiQ6XRpm

Hoops are coming to Tower Grove Park. And maybe soon to Forest Park.

A relative boom of new #basketball venues is helping to erode what many say is a glaring absence of courts in St. Louis' prominent public spaces — and a signal of where Black people are or aren’t welcome.

[Colleen Schrappen @cschrappen]

Hooray for more basketball! Story by @_BryceGray https://t.co/9f7hHg3V1V via @stltoday

Love that a friend and I saw these Nugs lose at home to a Pistons team on its way to an NBA-worst record that was playing Cory Joseph in crunch time.

Just shows the awesome power of those #teal '90s throwbacks Detroit was rocking. Champs got nothing on those! #TransitiveProperty

All this stirred up fear and distrust, when we know for sure the real harm in closing a school. Story by @_BryceGray
https://t.co/rzzefDwMb1 via @stltoday

[Bryce Gray @_BryceGray]

The latest analysis from the Army Corps resoundingly concluded that #radiation in and right around Jana Elementary is normal and that the school is safe for use.

How normal? It says radiation risks at the site are 8x lower than someone would face for simply living in Colorado.

[St. Louis Post-Dispatch @stltoday]

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers says the now-shuttered Jana Elementary School in Florissant shows natural levels of ambient radioactivity and could safely "be used for anything." But members of the public remain skeptical and concerned. https://t.co/G9GTm7dkZk

Reminiscent of scenes in the western US during 2020. Hard to believe this is occurring in the Northeast.

The #soy industry is betting big on #aquaculture as a market for soy-based feed.

And farming fish is a big deal. One on hand, fish are far more efficient at converting feed into meat than cows and pigs. But sourcing that soy and managing those farms "has to be done responsibly.”
