Christmas Tree Recycling
Discarded Christmas trees are submerged into Spanish Lake and other Missouri lakes to provide habitat for fish and improve fishing.

This Week in History – Blackout
In February 1943, St. Louis went dark as part of World War II blackout drill. While it was unlikely the city would ever be bombed, St. Louisans did their duty.

Paw-Paw French
A local dialect of French survived in the Old Mines community well into the 20th century, and there are a few people today working to preserve it.

Gospel St. Louis
Excerpts from the performance and panel discussion at the Nine PBS event.
