You couldn’t script Kickoff Weekend any better 📷
Sellout crowd in LOU.
Insane STL energy.
A 4-PT FG for the history books.
Halftime performances.
Hometown win for @RepoleStable in ORL.
And maybe… a fine or two 📷
Landed in STL tonight and catching a @STLMetro link train to Amtrak. It's hard to describe, but the "feeling" of safety onboard is remarkably different from many of my recent experiences on @cta . (🧵)
Thanks to the $196M in federal funding from the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, @STLMetro will be getting 48 new rail cars meaning safer, more efficient journeys for six million passengers annually.
Glad to join @RepNikkiB and @SecretaryPete today to celebrate this investment.
In St. Louis @SecretaryPete Buttigieg announced federal support to @STLMetro to recoup costs from major flooding in 2022. It was 1 of 17 transit agencies & local govts that suffered damage from disasters in '17 & 2020-22 to receive part of $102.3 million. https://t.co/4zXjE6WJz2
We'd like to congratulate our new MetroBus operators on the completion of their training. They are officially ready to get behind the wheel and get you to your destination. We are so excited that you joined the team! You are a vital part of what keeps Metro Transit moving. 👏👏👏
Today, we honor the nearly 1,700 Metro Transit team members who keep the St. Louis region moving. From mechanics to operators, dispatchers to managers and every member of the Metro Transit team-thanks for your dedication and service to our community. #TransitWorkerAppreciationDay
I’m still in a bad place thinking about missing @garthbrooks last night because of the terrible venue management, parking and shuttle situation. I need my hot tub, a strong cold drink and tunes (too soon to listen to Garth) 😭 #worstvenue#GARTHatThunderRidge #garthdeservesbetter
@baldbover@garthbrooks Same. We missed it too. We couldn’t get through the parking /shuttle nightmare in time to see the show. We got there a few hours before too. I felt sick turning away but it wasn’t gonna happen. 😞 maybe one day. @ThunderRidgeMO doesn’t deserve #Garth!
@Msteeg22@thebiggszone Same. Also from STL. Very sad to have left but there was no way that was happening. We left home at 12:30 today and still couldn’t make it. Absolute nightmare. The people walking was crazy! And some with small kids. Maybe someday … at a better venue!
@KD0CQ It’s 6:18. We are still on 65. Right by the fruit farm. No way we are making it. People are trying to walk the 2.7 miles from here. Google says that takes 56 mins! 😩
