How does that package on your doorstep get there?

Just north of St. Louis, the Melvin Price Locks and Dam helps move hundreds of millions of tons of goods along the Mississippi River each year. This massive structure plays a key role in keeping consumer products, agricultural goods, and other cargo moving through the nation's inland waterways. | via Devante McFarlane (@vante4k) for #LivingStLouis.

Correction: The story inaccurately states that the entire system moves over 40 million tons, but that is specific to the Melvin Price Dam. We regret the error.

Wesley Bell has won re-election to Missouri’s 1st Congressional District, defeating challenger Cori Bush for a second time in a nationally-watched rematch for the seat.

With 99% of precincts reporting, Bell led Bush 59.2% to 36.9%.

As Bell celebrated victory with supporters at the Marriot Hotel in downtown St. Louis, Bush asked her supporters to hold him accountable for work during his next term at a concession speech at the Family Haven Event Center in Dellwood.

“St. Louis is here because of the Mississippi,” said Jim.

Born and raised in St. Louis, Jim Stolarski has spent years sharing the Mississippi River with visitors from near and far.

As a captain on the Tom Sawyer Riverboat at the @riverboatstl, he offers passengers a journey filled with stunning views, local history, and a deeper appreciation for the river. | via Devante McFarlane (@vante4k) for #LivingStLouis.

Hundreds of people from the St. Louis metro’s large Bosnian community gathered at @bevocaffelounge tonight to watch the first knockout round of the 2026 FIFA World Cup.

The Bosnia and Herzegovina vs. USA matchup brought fans of both teams together to cheer not only for players on the pitch but for the cross-continental ties that connect the two far-flung countries.

The Bosnian community in St. Louis is largely part of a relatively modern resettlement that took place across the early to mid 1990s during the Bosnian war in Bosnia and Herzegovina. It means much of the metro area’s estimated 60,000 to 70,000 Bosnian emigrants still have family and friends back in their home country.

The United States men’s national soccer team defeated Bosnia and Herzegovina 2-0 to advance to the next round of the tournament. | via Jimmy Himes-Ryann (@jimmyhimesryann) for #NinePBS
