I'm ashamed to admit it - but here goes:  I knew who the Jonas Brothers were when I went to the press conference on Tuesday - but I couldn't have told you which one was Nick - which one was Kevin - and which one was Joe. 

But, after a quick study - I spent part of the day with them - and, I have to tell you - I'm now a fan. These guys are the real deal. They could not have been nicer.

After a press conference at their hotel,  they signed autographs with girls who had gathered outside  - from there, we went to Busch Stadium - where they played on the field - then they probably took 200 pictures with fans.

After that - they went to Ted Drewes, surprising even more fans.

I have to say I was exhausted just watching them - and they *still* had a show to put on that night and from what I hear - the show was great - even Tim Ezell (who has to be at work  before the sun comes up) stayed until the very end! The Post's headline read  "The Jonas Brothers hold up their end of the bargain.." and that they did.. on stage and off stage.. whether the camera was rolling or not..

After months of watching the Lindsay Lohan & Britney Spears shenanigans..  it's nice to see three brothers who genuinely care about one another.. and their fans..

These guys have been to the White House.. they've been on American Idol.. Dancing with the Stars.. they've sold tons of albums.. they're starring in their own Disney movies..
and it's just nice to see.. it hasn't gone to their heads. I saw it first hand.. these guys really do appreciate each and every one of their fans..

After the horrible death of Ryan Hummert this morning - how can we stop this from ever happening again? At least police officers have guns to defend themselves - what do you think: Should firefighters wear bullet proof vests?

The sound of fear may be fireworks or a thunderstorm - depending on your dog. Is your dog scared of loud noises? Apparently, more than 20% of dogs are sensitive enough to noises that they actually need professional help! Is your dog one of them?

Have you heard Chuy's in Dogtown is closing!

They say business has slacked off since the Highway 40 construction project started--

It's a neighborhood favorite. They're closing their doors on July 3rd..

Live on the Levee is being moved to another downtown location because of the flooding situation the St. Louis Riverfront.

We wanted to know should they keep the name the same?

If not, what should they call it?

And here's another one: if the concert isn't on the levee - will you still go?

That was one of the draws-- being able to sit on the riverfront & watch a concert.

It's like having a lawn ticket.

Let us know - we'd love to hear what you have to say so we can talk about your opinion on this tomorrow morning on Fox 2 News in the Morning

The Ford plant will be redeveloped into light industrial, warehouse and distribution--

That's the word today from the city of Hazelwood.

The Warrenton School Board has banned the use or display of cell phones during school. The superintendent had wanted the phones classified as contraband - just like drugs or weapons. Why? because bullying and cheating have gone high-tech.

What do you think?

There's a study going on involving the cobblestone streets on Laclede's Landing.

The problem isn't the cobblestones - it's what's underneath - the rock & the sand shift constantly as people walk over them and tractor trailers drive over them.

Some parts of the cobblestone are just down-right dangerous - and expensive to repair.

Do you think the cobblestone streets should be saved no matter what the price is?

Or would it be better just to pave over them?

 

 

A new survey done by St. Louis-based Scottrade says most of us would **not** go on a spending spree with the money from our tax rebate checks?

Which begs the question-- what would **you** do with that money if someone handed it over to you today? Would you save it, pay off debt-- or spend it?

Let us know! We'll be talking about this subject on Thursday around 7:25am on Fox 2 News in the Morning.

A Missouri lawmaker is proposing legislation -- if kids get bad grades or they decide to dop out -- they *cannot* get a driver's license until they're 18.

There are some exemptions -- if you get a GED, etc.

But what do you think about that?

Is it a good idea?
