    ST. LOUIS - A red sea of fans jammed downtown St. Louis to honor the World Series champion Cardinals and send a clear message to Albert Pujols: Please stay

    Pujols drew a long standing ovation at the stadium. When asked if he'd like to be back for another celebration next season, he smiled sheepishly and said, "Hey, why not?"

An apparent tornado tore through a section of St. Louis' Lambert Field on Friday, lifting the roof off a concourse, injuring several people and forcing the airport's closure. Planes were diverted to other locations as emergency crews probed the debris for more wounded. Mayor Francis Slay said Lambert would be shut down "indefinitely."

    Slave auction re-enacted in St. Louis to commemorate 150th anniversary of Civil War

    By Katie Cannon, Senior Multimedia Editor

    Do you find such re-enactments to be healing or hurtful?

    A person portraying a slave stands on the auction block as an auctioneer asks for bids during a re-enactment of a mid-19th century slave auction January 15, 2011 in downtown St. Louis, Mo. Some 150 re-enactors participated in the mock-auction on the steps of the city's Old Courthouse, as the first commemorative event in Missouri marking the 150th anniversary of the Civil War. With other sesquicentennial events in the South emphasizing "states rights" as the cause of the conflict, organizers in St. Louis said they wanted to stress slavery as the central issue of the war. Before the war, St. Louis, with its location on the Mississippi River, had been a primary hub for the sale and movement of slaves. The U.S. Civil War, which lasted from 1861-1865, resulted in the death of more than 600,000 Americans, more than in all of the country's other wars combined.

    I find Civil War enactments to be ridiculous!  Especially when they are celebrating something that needs to be forgotten, or at least remembered as a dark time in our history .  They serve no purpose except to bring back hurtful, hateful memories.
