Compton Posted August 22, 2022 Share Posted August 22, 2022 5 hours ago, Old guy said: One of Missouri's State Parks, the Powerhouse museum at 4000 State Hwy 32 by Park Hills MO, is at the site of the exhausted St. Joseph lead mine and displays the history of lead mining in MO. We took the tour, and were told that the last lead smelter in the US, the one in Herculanum, had been closed by executive order by the Obama administration. I have not visited the smelter or know if they are open for tours, but I believe the MO State parks information is more reliable than Google's, particularly since this state park is charged with presenting the history of the lead mining industry in the state. Sounds like one of the nicer smelting museums in the area, with a healthy dose of misinformation. The Smithsonian National Museum of Natural History in DC also has a nice display on Missouri lead mining. Old guy likes this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same, but for the opposite reason. I was either not born or watching cartoons during Cheers run. I can recall seeing parts of episodes & especially the theme song as re-runs, but I'm pretty sure I never watched a whole episode. Since Cheers has been ubiquitous in pop culture for the last 30+ years, I could still tell you who Cliff Claven and most other characters on the show are.

The only one that ever made me laugh out loud. Completely agree with you. On one of my many mind-wandering trips last week, I was thinking about what 3 sitcoms I would save if only 3 were allowed to exist. Frasier and Seinfeld for sure. Third is a tough one. Can't decide between Curb, The Larry Sanders Show, King of Queens (i'm not ashamed), or Arrested Development. Ideally, you'd want to pick 3 that have a high number of episodes since these are all you get for eternity. In spite of being one of the funniest shows ever, I'd likely cross off Arrested due to the smaller number of total episodes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Latest News: Nzeh has new interest from DePaul. (8/22/22) Scouting Report: Nzeh is a hardworking, athletic frontcourt player with an imposing physical presence. He's tough to establish position against and has great hands and touch around the rim. He has a steady mid-range jumper and is working on extending his range out to the perimeter. He has good bounce and length (7-3 wingspan) and moves well laterally, giving him the ability to defend multiple positions. He transferred from Upper Darby HS to the George School after his sophomore year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pistol Posted August 22, 2022 Author Share Posted August 22, 2022 Kinda feels like Xavier is coming on strong. Sean Miller, the official account, a manager, and a beat writer have all started following him on Twitter in the past 2 weeks. Other assistants were already following him. Say what you will about Miller, but he knows talent. Xavier making a late push says a lot about Nzeh's potential. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here’s what he had to say about SLU: St. Louis: “They came in really early and have stayed in contact with me. Since they started it’s always been consistent and they really think I can make an impact at their school. They won without me and think I can bring a lot to that school and their winning culture. Also Coach Ford is great, has a lot of pros and loves to win while making his players feel like they’re in a family environment.” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yet another reason to get down to campus for that women's soccer game against ND and make SLU's atmosphere as lively as possible while he's around. brianstl likes this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
