Chef Rob Connoley’s acclaimed St. Louis restaurant, Bulrush, isn’t just a delicious night out. It’s also a deep dive into the culinary history of the region. The Grand Center eatery takes its inspiration from cuisine in the Ozarks region prior to 1870, before railroads allowed for easy transport of foodstuffs. And, in recent months, the restaurant has doubled down on that exploration. Aided by college interns, Connoley has begun researching the food of marginalized populations in the area at that time. That includes both indigenous people, enslaved people and freed slaves. In this segment, we talk with Connoley and St. Louis University student Gabriel Shoemaker, and with Dr. Andrea Hunter, director/tribal historic preservation officer for the Osage Nation Historic Preservation Office.

Every city has its nightmare intersections, and many residents could likely cite a personal nemesis or two. In the greater St. Louis area, the crossroads of North Grand Boulevard and Interstate 64 in Grand Center, and Eager and Hanley in Brentwood, may well come to mind among other notoriously tricky traffic spots. Frequently stressful for drivers and non-drivers alike, these sections of public infrastructure can seem like a permanent fixture of civic life, along with the honking, confusion and rage they trigger. But change can sometimes happen. In this episode, host Sarah Fenske takes a closer look at some of the region’s worst intersections – and discusses how planners work to address trouble spots in an age of crumbling infrastructure across the U.S. The conversation also touches on what residents can do to help address problematic roads and contribute to smoother, safer streets for all.

Sharon Echols found her sweet spot in entrepreneurship after working 25 years in the mortgage banking business. She and her husband responded to industry changes by reviving their fond childhood memories with a new venture. With the underlying goal of having something to fall back on, they opened up a neighborhood candy store for the community to rely on. With no prior retail or business experience, Lee and Sharon undertook the hardcore planning, drew from their corporate backgrounds and launched into the unique venture of confectionery. Within 5 years of offering not only a large variety of candy, chocolate, taffy and nostalgia treats, Miss M’s Candy store is ready for expansion. A second location in the Grand Center has big plans for event space and candy catering. Both stores will continue to create experiences of confectionery delight for all ages with candy apparel, novelty and accessories. Sharon shares more of the challenges they faced as new business owners as well as the exciting plans for new iterations of their original thriving business. Discover the reality behind this family-owned business named for their “sugar babies” Megan and Morgan. Christy discovers appropriate justification in her new found candy sophistication as she learns more about candy buffets, novelty throw pillows and catering. A realistic account of a new entrepreneurs journey that inspires and rises above the competition.

Then we talk to John Killacky of the San Francisco Foundation about his new documentary concert film Janis Ian, Live From Grand Center, and a lot about Janis Ian herself. We'll also learn about two other projects of John's: a film about 541 Broadway in New York, a nexus of postmodern dance history, and John's new passion for Shetland pony showing and pony cart driving. Then we'll hear Janis Ian herself singing We're Married in London, her wry take on marriage inequality, accompanied by her own great guitar playing and much laughter from the live audience.
