St. Louis aviation takes off, but not without turbulence: Revisiting local history (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Travel was easy when Trans World Airlines was the big bird in town. The airline made St. Louis Lambert International Airport hum during the late 20th century, when St. Louis was its main domestic âhubâ â a central site for numerous connecting flights. In 2000, TWA accounted for two-thirds of Lambertâs 600 daily departures and 75 percent of that yearâs 15.2 million boardings. Just more than half of those passengers simply changed planes here, but TWAâs network gave St. Louis a wealth

The last Corvette was frost beige in color, had a 350 cubic-inch engine and a fat sticker price of $19,000. Cleo Hagar, a senior production worker on the Corvette line, helped roll it away at 1:48 p.m. on July 31, 1981. General Motors Corp. was moving production of its glamorous Chevrolet muscle car to a new factory in Bowling Green, Ky. Except for about 300 test models from Flint, Mich., St. Louis had been home of the Corvette since 1953, turning out nearly 700,000. A force of 1,450 workers fin

It began when a Black mother didnât want her son sent by bus to a school in a rough neighborhood. âThis is a new twist in busing.

The parents prevailed but resented the St. Louis Public Schoolsâ way of assigning students and teachers. On Feb. 18, 1972, Liddell and the Concerned Parents of North St. Louis filed suit in U
Two rollicking, big years in the 1870s: Revisiting St. Louis' history (opens the original)
Read excerpt
It was a busy few years even for a raucously growing city in the Gilded Age. From 1874 to 1876, St. Louis completed a bridge over the Mississippi River, opened Forest Park and hosted the first of five national political conventions. A corruption scandal reaching the White House unfolded in its federal courthouse. A public vote thick with fraud led to the cityâs single most fateful decision, its separation from St. Louis County. E. Anheuser & Co., a brewery on Pestalozzi street, introduced a be
Stadium, Gateway Arch anchor building boom in dingy downtown: Revisiting St. Louis history (opens the original)
Read excerpt
In 1929, the Landreth Building was completed at Fourth and Locust streets. It was 18 stories tall, cost $750,000 and was just the latest office tower in a bustling downtown. But it turned out to be the last major office structure to be built downtown for 30 years. By the 1950s, the downtown skyline was tired and dingy, the riverfront an empty expanse of cleared ground.
