    A little less conversation, a lot more consequences for 'Elvis' judge in St. Louis County
    Nov 24 2025
    In St. Louis County, Elvis has left the courtroom. That’s thanks to an official Missouri disciplinary commission whose decision is forcing the retirement of Judge Matthew Thornhill. Thornhill drew complaints for his habit of dressing up as Elvis in the courtroom, wearing an Elvis wig and making jokes about Elvis to litigants. In this month’s Legal Roundtable, our experts react to the judge’s unusual retirement and discuss other cases. That includes an update on the bizarre case of Bar PM: Two years ago, a police SUV collided with the gay bar in south St. Louis. The city charged the bar’s owner with assault, but last month dropped the criminal charge.

  • There are few pigeons in St. Louis. Research shows it’s due to design

    There are few pigeons in St. Louis. Research shows it’s due to design
    Nov 21 2025
    Pigeons are assumed to be common in most urban areas, but St. Louis does not have as many of these birds compared to other major cities. Washington University researchers have found that urban design and planning has a lot to do with that pigeon disparity, which highlights what’s missing in the city’s ecosystem. Postdoctoral fellow Elizabeth Carlen shares why a lack of pedestrians is the culprit, and how curiosity about minimal pigeon sightings in St. Louis landed her and her research partners in Madrid, Spain.

  • Why there’s no such thing as an ‘authentic’ taco

    Why there’s no such thing as an ‘authentic’ taco
    Nov 20 2025
    In reviews of Mexican restaurants across St. Louis, you’ll find numerous mentions of “authenticity.” But what makes a Mexican dish, like the taco, truly authentic? For Ignacio M. Sánchez Prado, that’s asking the wrong question. In his new book, “Taco,” Sánchez Prado challenges the idea of authentic food by exploring how migration and modernity have shaped the taco from its origins as a working-class staple in Mexico to a transnational icon that comes in many different textures and flavors.
