.-Miles McEnery Gallery is presenting an exhibition of recent works by Tom LaDuke, on view 24 June through 31 July 2021 at 525 West 22nd Street.

This well-known verse from the Bible is something many local residents have recently experienced. In fact, the spirit of giving during the holidays seems to have magnified in recent weeks in the Parkland. Many people have chosen to selflessly give back to their community, and many residents have graciously been on the receiving end of this generosity.
Bonne Terre Save A Lot was at the hub of this generosity around the Thanksgiving holiday. The store often does giveaways on its Facebook page and has weekly drawings where customers deposit their receipts in a designated spot in the store. But that storeâs generosity â led by Manager Clint Price and his hard-working staff â quickly spiraled into something amazing and inspiring.
