Athena hath awoken and Apollo hath lifted his skirt...your day is about to be launched. Launched into the realm of Hangovers & Highs that is. And what an episode we have for you today. Happy times over here, fam...happy times...the fellas are finally back together and in the same room after fighting thru adversity and Zooming it up last week. Lets kick it off. The fellas (especially Chef) cannot hold back their disappointment with Carpenter and our feast or famine Cardinals as of late. Granted, Carp has been a focal point in the Cards organization for the past 6 years but the past 3.5yrs have been lackluster (and that's being kind). What does the club do with him? Do we send him out to pasture on the Loop Trolley? How are we going to hold up this year...are we freaking out too early? (1:52-19:31). IT'S MAIL BAG TIME (19:32-20:53) *for all mailbag submission please submit to hangoverssandhighss@gmail.com*.

Little suspicious that the 4/20 game was postponed...AND...did the Blues get the "Johnny Hockey Bump"??(21:37-29:58). To wrap up the episode the fellas dive into their favorite player names and some notorious #26's that played in the sports world. As always...thank you for hopping on the H&H train...where the destination is always funky town. Much love.

In January, St. Louis’ regional transit agency considered taking on operation of the embattled Loop Trolley — and ultimately declined to do so. At this month’s meeting of the Bi-State Development board, a totally different project’s future will come before the agency: the two shipping-container-sized grocery stores located along MetroLink in north St. Louis County. The stores are operated by a nonprofit subcontractor, Link Market, which formed about two years ago. They were funded by a grant Bi-State was awarded from the Missouri Foundation for Health and meant to be a pilot project addressing the region’s food deserts. But this past summer, as reported by the St. Louis Post-Dispatch’s Tony Messenger, Link Market founder Dr. Jeremy Goss learned Bi-State had concerns about their financial viability. After a meeting of various parties in St. Louis County Executive Sam Page’s office, the shipping-container markets got an extension from Bi-State. And as the St. Louis Post-Dispatch’s Andrew Nguyen explains in this segment in conversation with Goss and host Sarah Fenske, Bi-State’s board should vote Feb. 21 on a proposal to donate the shipping containers to the Link Market.
St. Louis County Councilman Mark Harder is the latest guest on Politically Speaking. St. Louis Public Radio’s Julie O’Donoghue and Jason Rosenbaum talked with the Ballwin Republican about a multitude of issues, including the ongoing saga of the Loop Trolley. Harder represents the council’s 7th District, which takes in most of western St. Louis County. He is the council’s longest serving member after Hazel Erby resigned to take a post in St. Louis County Executive Sam Page’s administration. Since he’s not up for election this year, Harder could run in a special election for St. Louis County executive as a Republican and not give up his council seat. He said he hasn’t made a decision on whether he will run.

On the latest edition of Politically Speaking, St. Louis Public Radio’s Julie O’Donoghue and Jason Rosenbaum take a look at some of the local, state and national stories that made news this week.

Over the past 13 months, the Loop Trolley regular traveled a 2.2-mile route from the Missouri History Museum to the Delmar Loop and back again several days each week.
