There is a lot of talk, post-tornado, about what will happen to St. Louis brick from heavily damaged homes. A few years ago reporter Jesse Bogan and I took a deep look at that brick - how it's harvested, what it's worth and where it ends up. www.stltoday.com/news/local/m...

League night at the Silver Ballroom Pinball Pub in Bevo Mill. Sometimes it's nice to take a couple steps back and allow the beauty of St. Louis to be seen. This is from the final @stltoday.com I worked, in print tomorrow.

Spent a few days in the Carolinas with the tiny phone camera.

Big thumbs up to Jacob Barker (@jacobbarker) and Austin Huguelet (@ahuguelet) for winning a National Headliner Award in local beat coverage for their @stltoday.com story of politician's relatives in line for big grants. www.stltoday.com/news/local/g...

Grateful to everyone who has ever allowed my camera to interrupt their lives. -30-

Over bacon and eggs, St. Louis grandma helped teens grieve. They’re ready to graduate now. Lovely story by Colleen Schrappen and Allie Schallert of @stltoday.com www.stltoday.com/news/local/m...

You set the house on fire, watched it burn, and then lost your nerve and put it out. You now have a partially burned house. Great job.

St. Louis Mayor-elect Cara Spencer wins in a landslide www.stltoday.com/news/local/g...

Iris and Margot Henry wear their power capes, joining their mother Elizabeth to vote beside her for mayor today in #STL. “We like to bring them along and expose them to things that are important to us,” said Henry. #voting

The stock markets have lost more than $6 trillion in value since President Donald Trump’s decision to upend the global economic order and impose sweeping tariffs last week. But on Sunday, the president won. Trump said he took first in the Senior Club Championship at his golf club. wapo.st/42b7C7O

Why would any woman vote for Trump? I have a theory after being in contact with Trump-voting white women for nine years. I have divided them into four categories. This is not at all scientific, and there are likely more categories… jesspiper.substack.com/p/trumps-women

Back in the day it was the referees that got in the way of the photographers. Too bad, it's part of the job. Now it's the on-field cameramen that clutter it up even more - and so awesome that they are filming their own drone. Maddening.
