. @stlcsb there is a water line break in the middle of the street at 929 N Spring

Hello @stlcsb At the intersection of Dr Martin Luther King Drive and N. Tenth Street, we have a Do Not Enter sign falling off the back of a Stop sign. The nut and bolt that was holding it in place was removed. This is across from 901 N. Tenth, where Dr MLK is meant to be one way

Hello @stlcsb In the tree lawn outside of address 311 Rosedale, 63122 we have a city-owned tree that was removed. After the workers cut off the trunk they left it in the roadway. Someone else rolled it back onto the stump just to get it out of the way. It needs to be removed plz!

Journalism in the news. Dallas News merges with Hearst. Hearst ignores workers’ union contract, plans to eliminate 26 jobs. I stand with my former colleagues at @DallasNewsGuild in the fight ahead.

@tomtimm Good Lord, I was wondering how long it would be! I don't think I ever once saw anyone working there, either, when the lane was closed.

Super interesting drone video by Allie Schallert of @stltoday, comparing tornado damage in St. Louis then and now. What has changed six weeks after the May 16 storm? https://t.co/h9R1lfS5c3 via @stltoday

This is the actual order to free slaves that was delivered in Galveston, Texas on June 19, 1865, now celebrated as Juneteenth. This is the only known copy to exist; it is from the collection of newspaperman G.B. Dealey. The original handwritten version is in the National Archives

St. Louis tornado storm warning siren test complete. It can be heard by doges.

The St. Louis tornado path affected some of St. Louis' most impoverished neighborhoods, where people wtih no insurance, little money, and fear of looting are now hunkering down in their damaged houses. Story by Colleen Schrappen, photos by @LaurieSkrivan https://t.co/R4JEHue6Vl

Scenes of destruction as a probable tornado tore through parts of St. Louis, north of Delmar, on Friday, May 16, 2025. A man survived his car being thrown in the air and flipped. And the MLK statue in Fountain Park came down. Photos copyright Michael Hamtil, @stltoday

@kodacohen @stlpublicradio I’m holding out for the dance party remix

[Michael "Not A Mike" Hamtil @mhamtil]

Our friends over at @stlpublicradio had a nice conversation on the air with @kodacohen about his photojournalism career. It was so nice we had to run it twice, on both the Post-Dispatch and STL PR websites https://t.co/fXf8rsdKaO
