GRANITE CITY, Ill. - FOX 2 has learned thieves have been repeatedly targeting a St. Louis area gem, the historic botanical garden Wilson Park in Granite City. They are stealing planted flowers by the dozen and lawn and garden equipment.“I consider (the garden) the heart of Granite City,” said Patrice Chandler, a visitor Thursday. “I just think it’s a special place. I tell people I’m going to my ‘Zen’ garden." In-N-Out Burger poised for major expansion, including in Missouri “It’s definitely a special place. The community really takes a lot of pride in this. That’s why it’s really frustrating,” said Justin Brinkmeyer, director of parks for Granite City. “It’s kind of a hidden gem.”Thieves have hit the garden five times this spring, he said. Mixed in with the rows of flowers, there are now empty patches where flowers have been dug up from an oasis of plants, flowers, water features, and walking paths started by benefactor Ernest Sieveking in the 1920s.The thefts occurred between 2:0...

ST. LOUIS - A criminal defendant accused of stealing a car at gunpoint was released on an ankle monitor after repeated delays by the St. Louis Circuit Attorney’s Office.The defendant, Levi Henning, also once faced a murder charge that was previously dropped because of prosecutor failures.Only FOX 2 was in the courtroom when the judge faced a difficult decision, exacerbated by a no-show prosecutor.Judge Clinton Wright acknowledged that a new prosecutor’s office administration seems intent on doing better at avoiding future justice delays. However, the robbery defendant’s lawyer, W. David Mueller, successfully argued to the judge that future progress does not negate years of neglect.“No one showed up today for court, representing the state in this case, so what are we left with?” Mueller said after the hearing.His client, Henning, is accused of stealing a car while using a weapon near the Central West End in December 2018.Henning was also later charged with murdering Parkway West High...

Late freeze in March and current dry conditions affected summer crops

Published Fri, 01 Nov 2024 13:34:38 GMT

MARYLAND HEIGHTS, Mo - Some people are noticing gardens and fruit trees are producing fewer blooms than normal. Summertime means picking strawberries, eating peaches fresh from the tree, and picking blackberries from the vine, but this year looks a little different."Our strawberry crop was really poor this year, and I think there is a lot of variables," said Andy Welle with Thies Farm and Market in Maryland Heights. "Water was one, the cold was one, the plants got to us a little later last year. But they're still picking. They're still blooming. We're going to get a few berries out of it. But the main crop is gone."He said below-average rainfall is impacting the growth of some crops. In-N-Out Burger poised for major expansion, including in Missouri "We've actually been watering constantly as soon as we get stuff planted. Like we've got here today," Welle said. "Cantaloupes and watermelons actually went in yesterday, and the water is actually on them right now just to keep them goi...

How global temperatures affect the St. Louis region

Published Fri, 01 Nov 2024 13:34:38 GMT

ST. LOUIS – We are in the middle of a major global pattern change. We are moving from our third La Nina year to an El Niño pattern. And there are some indications that this pattern could be what’s called a Super Niño. That sounds pretty ominous – and it could be.The last Super Niño pattern was in 2016, and we saw the warmest global temperature on record. It also could bring a heightened risk of droughts and floods and stronger storms. However, it could also bring a quieter hurricane season. But what does that all mean to St. Louis? Let’s dive into it.JuneWe begin June a bit behind the eight ball. April and May have trended dry and our yearly average for rainfall is running a little bit short.The drought severity across Missouri is heightened just a bit because of this. So, we need rain.Ask your lawn or garden. I’ve seen more sprinklers running in the last few weeks because of this. I think the dry pattern of the last few weeks will continue into June. We will have some opportun...

Published Fri, 01 Nov 2024 13:34:38 GMT

Nuggets 3-pointers: Anthony Davis disappears, Jamal Murray takes over in Game 2 win for Denver

Published Fri, 01 Nov 2024 13:34:38 GMT

Initial observations from the Nuggets’ Game 2 comeback win over the Los Angeles Lakers in the Western Conference Finals.1. Murray makes them when it matters. Jamal Murray started the night shooting 3 for 15 from the field, but a point guard with his confidence never stops trying. He flipped a switch in the second half after the Nuggets fell behind by 10, making his next seven shots. The biggest was a beginning-of-the-end knife when Denver needed it most. On a night when Michael Malone had used Nikola Jokic for heavy minutes, the two-time MVP was finally getting a breather early in the fourth quarter. The Lakers couldn’t buy a bucket during that stretch, but after the Nuggets had weathered most of the storm already, Murray drilled a step-back three over Anthony Davis to put Denver ahead 87-83. While Murray never relented, Davis disappeared. He shot 4 for 15 after a 40-point Game 1.2. Rui ruins everything early. Look, no judgment here toward LeBron James for that flubbed f...
