Great news #STL! Ballpark Village selected for demolition + redevelopment of riverfront Millennium Hotel site.

Some big news out of downtown St. Louis this morning: The Cordish Cos., the company behind Ballpark Village, was chosen to redevelop Millennium Hotel. More deets + renderings (!) at the link

HUGE plans for the Millennium Hotel site. This is terrific news for downtown St. Louis www.stlmag.com/business/pla...

Stripping local control of police from the City of STL is racist and fascist and an even bigger threat this year than in years past. #moleg is trying it again. Thankful for Dem Senators fighting to hold the line.

Just looking at my bottle of Tagrisso, a cancer drug that literally *reduced death by half* in people like me. The product of intense clinical trials and meticulous science. The trials were supported by the National Cancer Institute, a part of NIH.

A plane carrying 27 passengers, including crew, slid off the taxiway before coming to a stop at St. Louis Lambert International Airport late Wednesday morning, according to a news release from the airport.

RIP Hap Phillips. This is his and Nita Turnage’s mural in St. Louis. They founded the Artica festival. They were in love. Nita passed on in 2019 and Hap left us today in his home in Mississippi. Hap told me to keep making art. May his memory join Nita’s as blessings together, forever.

One of our favorite weekend activities @beganovic.bsky.social

Off he goes for another week… I’m fine. 🥹

BREAKING NEWS: St. Louis' community radio station KDHX is ceasing live broadcasts effective tonight.

I appreciate the leadership shown by BOA members who have advocated for strategic investment in areas w/proven ROI that prioritize people + strengthen concurrent investment in development. Leadership isn't about being liked, it's about securing the best possible outcomes for your constituency.

Yep, as of today, I have a podcast: The 314! Please give it a listen and let me know what you think -- or just smash that "follow" button to keep an eye out for the next episode.

The great thaw is underway in Tower Grove Park at the original 1873 fountain in the Ruins.

Wrote this in January 2017. I stand by this post once again.

Non-profits sue Trump administration over move to halt federal aid. The lawsuit seeks a restraining order on the pause, which goes into effect today.

Medicare. Head Start. School meals. WIC. This is terrifying. www.nbcnews.com/politics/don...

The Clydesdale became associated with Budweiser after the sons of August A. Busch Sr. gave him six horses and a hitch in 1933 to commemorate the repeal of Prohibition.

Cute!

First action of 2025 💪

North City, Downtown, + early childhood education can all win, all contributing to a better STL. Imperative we're working together + focusing on solutions. Rhetoric, misinformation, campaigning, divisiveness don't help St. Louis. PBOA Green, Sonnier, Aldridge, Cohn, Clark-Hubbard leading by example.

Let's get into Trump's Executive Orders that threaten our national security— buckle up y'all. (1/5)

Never has evening yoga been more necessary.

Here we go... Downtown AND Our Babies are winning today, and the whole region will benefit. 👏 Shout out to the officials who bent over backwards to protect that 'People' bucket. www.stlouis-mo.gov/government/d...

As the transgender community continues to fight for civil rights in the U.S., one of the most common arguments against progress is that transgender people are a recent phenomenon. But it’s a fight that’s been happening here for decades and around the world for centuries. ⤵️

Guys when Chris Rufo and Trump say "We're destroying DEI, we're salting the earth underneath it" and they're talking about regulations that reach back to 1965, they're not talking about corporate diversity trainings. They are talking about civil rights

My husband, a 40-year AIDS survivor, helped organize one of the first AIDS Candlelight Memorials in STL in the late 80's. This past weekend at the Gateway to Pride exhibit at the Missouri History Museum, we saw an original poster with HIS handwriting on it. We held each other tightly and wept.

Thank you SLSO & Missouri History Museum. www.stltoday.com/life-enterta...

On a good year, I love the Loop's ice carnival. This year, I'm kind of sick of ice! (Maybe this will help St. Louis reclaim ice as a positive force after two weeks of fishtailing and slip-sliding?) www.stlmag.com/culture/fair...

Exciting for the region. Investing in Downtown is imperative to growth and there are exceptional projects in the works. An historic moment for families and children as we fund new early childhood solutions that improve quality of life, public safety and economic outcomes. 👏🏻 Mayor, PBOA & BOA

“I had a feeling that there were people watching what was happening and wondering, Was anyone going to say anything?” Bishop Mariann Budde explained. “Was anyone going to say anything about the turn the country’s taking?” So, she took a breath, and spoke. nyti.ms/3WtmNY2

In Washington, DC, a tax on residents earning more than $250,000 a year is boosting the wages of child care workers. Two years in, it's proving to be a great investment.

How my husband responded to my company holiday party invite that goes to the whole team @beganovic.bsky.social
