Suspect Rams Truck into Squad Car Injuring 2 Officers

8:55 PM Fri, Nov 20, 2009 |

A few years ago we were reporting on meth labs in the city. It was something new at the time. Neighbors were stunned when DEA agents or police would be hauling away the meth lab equipment from a home in their neighborhood. These days the news of a meth lab operating in the city doesn't raise many eyebrows.

The St. Louis premiere of "Up In The Air" was Saturday night at the Tivoli theatre on the Loop in University City. It's filled with St. Louis connections. Obviously, much of it was shot here so it has not only parts of the St. Louis area as backdrops for the movie, but it's also filled with St. Louis extras and actors.

There's even a song from a U-City man that plays during the film's credits. Kevin Renick wrote a song calle...
