ST. LOUIS – There are growing safety concerns about a deep hole with exposed electric wires next to a sidewalk right outside a south St. Louis business.A car crash took out a streetlight at the location in the 2900 block of Gravois Avenue in November 2021. FOX 2 has learned the City of St. Louis has allowed the danger to continue.For most of the time since then, the hole has been covered with a partially broken orange traffic barrel.“The streetlight hole opens up into what appears to be a cavern or void of some kind underneath the street right here,” said Terry Prott, whose wood-stripping business is adjacent to the hole. “Somebody needs to fill that hole before somebody gets really hurt in a serious accident. You can only imagine how bad it could be if it goes in the wrong direction.”Prott and his customers park on the curb near the hole. The barrel is unsecured. A wind gust knocked it from its base as Prott spoke with FOX 2’s Andy Banker on Monday.A couple of times a week, Prott s...

ARNOLD, Mo. – Results for an Arnold woman and double amputee who couldn’t get transportation to her scheduled medical appointments.Viva Shermesser was supposed to have government-paid medical transport for her visits, but for nine straight days, that transportation never showed up, and Shermesser missed each appointment.“Literally, I have to go see my doctors for all my issues and I can’t get there,” she said. “I had to wait six weeks to get my staples out. My nurse wanted to take them out. Because they just stood me up nine times in a row. Stood me up to go to the doctor. It was ridiculous.”After running into one road block after another, Shermesser turned to FOX 2’s You Paid For It team for help. Close Thanks for signing up! Watch for us in your inbox.

Cardinals get AL Cy Young runner-up Sonny Gray with $75M deal to anchor revamped starting rotation

Published Tue, 24 Dec 2024 13:55:34 GMT

The St. Louis Cardinals made their biggest splash yet in an attempt to revamp their lackluster rotation, agreeing with AL Cy Young runner-up Sonny Gray on a $75 million, three-year contract Monday to anchor their staff heading into next season.Gray's deal includes a $30 million team option for 2027 with a $5 million buyout, which could make the agreement worth $100 million over four seasons.John Mozeliak, the Cardinals' president of baseball operations, already had signed free agent right-handers Kyle Gibson and Lance Lynn to one-year deals. But Mozeliak also said the Cardinals were not at “the finish line,” and a week later, they have one of the best pitchers on the free-agent market at the front of their rotation.“We were hoping to sign a couple of pitchers we knew we could count on for innings,” Mozeliak said, “and if we could accomplish that, we were hoping we could do something a little bigger, a little longer, and obviously that's where Sonny fits in.”The 34-year-old Gray went...

Cyber Monday inside the Hazelwood Amazon facility

Published Tue, 24 Dec 2024 13:55:34 GMT

HAZELWOOD, Mo. – The most wonderful time of the year is one of the busiest times of the year inside Amazon’s Hazelwood Sortation Center. Despite handling double its usual volume with double its usual workforce, site leader Pat Wilkins says it’s business as usual.“We train our associates in safety, quality, and then everything else follows as we move our packages towards the customer,” he said. “And that’s why you don’t see the chaos most people think is at Amazon. We’re practiced and we’re professionals.”Wilkins showed us the life of a package from the time it enters until it exits the facility.“Packages come in, we safely move them across the building,” he said. “That scan bar here denotes where it’ll be dropped off based on timing, from the time it gets scanned here out to the linear sorter drop-off areas that are off to your right behind you.”Wilkins says each container will go to U.S. Postal Service locations within 200 miles of the Hazelwood warehouse. While nearly 70% of packa...

Pro-Palestinian protesters shut down Denver City Council meeting

Published Tue, 24 Dec 2024 13:55:34 GMT

Pro-Palestinian demonstrators speaking out against the Global Conference for Israel coming to Denver this week took over the City Council chamber on Monday night, causing the council to postpone the second half of its scheduled business until the next week.Members of the protest group — some waving Palestinian flags or wearing traditional scarves — implored council members to stay in the chamber and hear their concerns, but none did as the demonstration stretched on for nearly two hours.It’s the third time in the last two years that activists have caused the council to go into recess by refusing the cede the podium after the 30-minute scheduled public comment period was over. It’s the first time the council has adjourned a meeting because of such an action.“It was just unclear how much longer the group was going to go so I just didn’t want to keep (others) waiting on some uncertainty which is the reason behind the adjournment,” said Council ...
