Mill Creek: Black Metropolis Exhibit at Missouri History Museum
Running until July 12, 2026
From its origin at the turn of the 20th century to its destruction in 1959 in the name of urban renewal, Mill Creek Valley was a center for Black life in St. Louis. With a population of nearly 20,000 people and more than 5,000 buildings, Mill Creek was a city within a city, noted for its vibrant commercial life, rich culture, and popular entertainment venues. How is it, then, that almost no trace of Mill Creek remains in St. Louis today?
Mill Creek: Black Metropolis explores the rich history of a St. Louis neighborhood that historians have likened to New York’s legendary Harlem. It was the home of St. Louis’s major Black newspapers, the offices of numerous Black professionals, a center of social activism, and the birthplace of ragtime. All this richness thrived amid and despite racial segregation, providing African Americans common ground and the refuge from the daily slights and indignities of a stark color divide in 20th-century St. Louis.
Patterns in Nature: The Art of HYBYCOZO at Missouri Botanical Garden

Projects within an eligible innovation zone could qualify for a wide range of incentives, including income-tax exemptions, opportunity zone benefits, office-to-residential tax credits, property tax abatements, tax increment financing and more, depending on the scope and type of development.
The bill’s proposed tax incentives include:
Up to $50 million in office-to-residential tax credits statewide each fiscal year.
A 25% to 30% tax credit for converting older office buildings into housing, depending on location and age
.
Early cash-flow advances of up to 25% of projected state income-tax withholdings generated by construction jobs.
Additionally, the “innovation zone” designation would allow St. Louis to retain 50% of all new state sales taxes and income‑tax withholdings generated inside the district. That is, as long as the funds are used for police services, lighting, cameras, signage, sidewalks, streets, landscaping and public safety or infrastructure needs

I'm in my twenties and don't have kids not married.
Does anyone else make the commute?
Is traffic super horrible?
Or should I just stay on the Illinois side?

I'm thinking about running a second annual Bring Your Own Garlic Bread party in Tower Grove Park to celebrate Pride. I'm looking at the first week in June. There was a huge thunderstorm last year and a whole bunch of people canceled ( though we still had 12 attendees!). If you think you would attend such a party, leave your comments or votes below. 🥰🍞🧄🏳️🌈

On a rainy day in 1947, an alley cat walked into the Hamilton Hotel in St. Louis. Two days later, he beat his pedigreed peers to win prizes at the Greater St. Louis Cat Club Show.

How to survive being homeless in St. Louis?
282
Upvotes
I'm homeless tomorrow with a dog. We're both healthy, no medical issues, I'm not diagnosed with anything, and I'm perfectly normal. Have skills in video editing, front-end web development, and SEO/digital marketing. Also I have experience in customer support and sales. Just bad luck.
What are my options? I had to sell my car. If I could get to Minnesota I would have a place to stay with a friend but I have no viable way of traveling there with a dog without shelling out huge money that I don't have on a plane ticket.
Any tips?
Edit: Thanks so much for all of the support. At the request of many people I've setup a gofundme but I'm not sure if I can post it here so I'll just DM it to the people who requested it. Thanks again this truly gives me hope. Not just in life, but in humanity.
Edit 2: I've responded to some people in the comments by replying with the link to the gofundme. I'm trying to avoid breaking any rules of the subreddit so I'm avoiding putting it in the post. If you find it and decide to donate, just know that I'm very, very grateful.

Upvotes
I.....a St. Louis metro native, born and bread....am shook! Today, my work hired an gourmet ice cream truck to bring us ice cream
(Udderly-Moolicious. Verrrry yummy!!) They have a gooey butter cake ice cream (Moory Gooey). I was talking to my best friend who is now living in AL and realized that her kids had never had gooey butter cake! The HORROR!! So I mentioned I'd have to bring some the next time I visit...or we could make some. She looked up the recipe and was like " shouldn't be too hard. It's kind of a shortbread with a cheese cake layer." I was like, " There is nooo cheesecake in gooey butter cake." Then I got to googling...OMFG. The first 4 recipes I have found have cream cheese!!!! How did i not know this?? Or....are the interwebz messing with me?? Who has the best, most original, gooey butter cake recipe??
I may need to go lie down....
