Today's riddle: What do you call somebody who crosses the ocean twice and doesn't take a bath? 🤔 (Answer below!)
1. St. Louis begins final repairs needed for train quiet zones (fox2now.com) — Train horns may soon quiet down again in St. Louis as city crews spend this weekend installing new crossing signs, the last major fix needed to restore federal quiet zone status. Once the work is done, federal inspectors must review every crossing before horns can stay silent. City officials say they'll prioritize the loudest residential corridors first.
2. Neighbors shocked after deadly house fire in north St. Louis County (fox2now.com) — A devastating house fire in north St. Louis County Friday night left two children dead and another in critical condition, shaking neighbors along 94th Avenue. Residents described frantic efforts as kids tried to rescue siblings before firefighters arrived. County police and the regional Bomb and Arson Unit are investigating, and anyone with information is urged to contact detectives.
3. Meet Us in St. Louis—Part II (chicagoclassicmag.com) — St. Louis takes center stage here as a fall getaway packed with free attractions, from the Missouri Botanical Garden and Forest Park museums to standout restaurants in the Central West End. You'll find details on Garden Glow, the Japanese Garden, and major art exhibits at the St. Louis Art Museum, Pulitzer Arts Foundation, and Contemporary Art Museum, all highlighting why residents and visitors alike should explore more of their own city.
4. Measles cases reach a 35-year high in the U.S. (stlamerican.com) — Missouri health officials report 11 measles cases this year, including one St. Louis County resident, and have warned of possible exposures at Busch Stadium and other area locations. While no city residents are confirmed among current cases, vaccination rates statewide, including around St. Louis, remain below the level needed to reliably prevent outbreaks, prompting renewed calls to keep MMR shots up to date.
5. Spoofhounds maintain unbeaten mark with St. Louis trip (maryvilleforum.com) — A visiting Maryville high school football team rolled into downtown St. Louis on Saturday and dominated Gateway STEM 47-8, powered by a standout performance from quarterback Jackson Dredge. The Spoofhounds' passing attack and strong offensive line overwhelmed the Jaguars, delighting even St. Louis-based officials. They now turn their attention to an undefeated showdown with Savannah next Friday.
