Twenty-five years later, the memories of September 11, 2001, still bring us back to where we were and how we felt when we first heard the news.

A day that changed our country forever. A day that showed us unimaginable tragedy, but also the incredible strength, courage, and unity of the American people.

Today, we remember the nearly 3,000 innocent lives lost, the first responders who ran toward danger when everyone else was running away, and the countless families whose lives were changed forever.

Seeing this giant American flag flying high over Festus - Crystal City is a powerful reminder of what that flag represents.

Freedom. Sacrifice. Courage. And a country that, even in its darkest moments, comes together.

Never forget.

Wow this is insane!!! If you’re wondering what the extremely long line is in front of Festus Walmart today, it’s for the 7 Brew free squishy promotion with the purchase of two drinks!

The line is stretched way out, and traffic is backed up along the shoulder of Truman Blvd. If you’re heading through the area, be prepared for some extra traffic!

Check out the abandoned Aviator Hotel in South County.

This used to be a really nice hotel and restaurant, but it suddenly closed in 2025. Now, the property sits abandoned and is quickly falling into disrepair.

You can see in the roof footage where scrappers have already gotten to the air-conditioning units. Many of the room windows have been busted out, and the building appears to have become a place where people are now staying inside the vacant rooms.

It’s crazy to see how quickly a property that was once full of guests, families and activity can become completely abandoned.

Take a look at the footage and see what’s left of the old Aviator Hotel.

How much longer can South County Mall survive?

These photos were taken today Thursday August 6th around 12pm, and the difference compared to years ago is hard to ignore.

There just isn’t much left. The entire upper level is closed off except for one small section, and even that has no stores open. The escalators have been boarded over, some of the elevators are out of service, and many storefronts sit empty.

The food court, which used to be packed around lunchtime, was nearly empty. Finding a table isn’t the challenge anymore—the challenge is deciding where to eat when only a couple of restaurants are still open. The massage chairs sat unused, the kids’ rides and gumball machines were quiet, and there was very little activity throughout the mall.

I honestly think there were more people inside a single Walmart than in the entire mall—including store employees. In many of the stores that were open, employees were simply trying to stay busy because there were so few customers. There are also several storefronts that still appear occupied but were closed today, so perhaps they’re only open on weekends.

What’s especially striking is that if you drive just 12 miles to West County Mall, you’ll find a completely different scene. That mall is thriving and bustling with shoppers, making the contrast between the two malls even more noticeable.

South County Mall was once one of the busiest shopping destinations in the St. Louis area. Walking through it today, though, it feels like a place that’s slowly fading away. Do you think the mall can survive, or is it only a matter of time?

Good morning! I still can’t believe how packed Main Street was yesterday evening! 🤯🇺🇸🐴

I shared a video last night, and now it’s time for drone photos capturing the massive crowd that came out to see the Budweiser Clydesdales make their way through Festus and Crystal City.

It was amazing to see our Twin Cities come together for such a memorable evening. Thanks to everyone who came out and made it such a special event!
