8pm last night traffic on Kingshighway & WB Forest Park was solid, many likely missed the balloon glow. Did they all think they’d be able to drive right up to the balloons? View from 12th floor Parkview Twr #stl

Since July ‘22 the #32 Metro bus had a reroute due to 10th St being closed for convention ctr const: left on O’Fallon rather than straight. But now it turns right on O’Fallon to left on Tucker. Another reroute involving lunchtime live on Locust only applies if bus goes left on O’Fallon. #stl
