Happy 1 year intake anniversary to Bald Eagle 24-390! While it's a strange thing to celebrate, it originally seemed unlikely that 390 would even survive the week. Today we celebrate how far he's come and the fact that his is still with us and progressing towards release!

What's the price tag on public safety? Business owners in The Grove paid taxes, hired private security & were still blamed for not spending more on permits after chaos erupted during Pride weekend. The police said: “The police can’t take responsibility.” ksdk.com/video/news/politics…

Baby season is picking up. Recent tornados brought us 16 new patients that were found in the aftermath of the destruction. 12 of those new patients are babies, bringing our baby count for the year up to 67 babies from 6 different species. 22 have been renested with wild families!

The house next door had its roof blown off, but the Shelley House still stands on Labadie in St. Louis after the May 16 tornado. The national landmark is central to a pivotal civil rights case that challenged racial housing discrimination and reshaped U.S. housing law.

The failure of the sky lounge structure may be able to be attributed to the lack of support for the exterior walls. Here are pictures from construction. There wasn’t much of a structure at the corners. The window frames may have been stronger.

Gallows humor from a friend taking in the destruction from a tornado that hit the Central West End, Forest Park, Clayton and more: "Here's how bad it is: The gates to Portland Place have been opened to allow traffic through." #stlwx

Absolutely heartbreaking. St. Louis Police say a woman is dead after she was hit by a car walking in the street on West Florissant. Her child was in the stroller and is in critical condition. Driver remained on the scene.

With 1 inch left on the ground this morning, that makes 14 straight days with snow on the ground in St Louis. That's the most in 20+ years. With several more cold days ahead, it's likely we'll reach 18 or 19 days, nearing the Top 10 longest stretches with snow on the ground.

So many people are paying attention to stuff like this NOW, because “the good guys” are out of office in a few days but where were YOU when Delta wrote a letter to our CDC suggesting COVID isolation be lowered from 10 days to 5 and then it was? news.delta.com/sites/default…

The org @MaskBlocLA had distributed over 40,000 N95 respirators by the time the city of LA got around to offering free masks to the public. While anti-COVID groups jumped into action as fires spread, local government trailed behind: thegauntlet.news/p/anti-covi…

Wouldn’t be great if oncology rehab followed the model of cardiac rehab? Following treatment, it’d be a non-negotiable: go to #OncoPT. Until we get there, we’ll keep leaning on our cardiac rehab colleagues to help us address the cardio-toxicities that our patients experience.

Shafiqullah and Laylo tried to get married today at the courthouse, but it was closed because of the weather. Luckily, @AssessorStL has already been sworn in as an associate circuit judge, and @gregoryfxdaly and I were free to serve as witnesses! Congrats to the happy couple!
