By ROB GILLIES (Associated Press)TORONTO (AP) — A bus carrying seniors to a casino that collided with a semi-trailer truck in a crash that killed 15 people did not have the right way, police said Friday, after watching video of the accident. Royal Canadian Mounted Police Supt.

In addition to filming scenes at the Spot Bar and Highland Park High School in St. Paul, the crew also shot elsewhere in the area, including Minneapolis, Elko New Market and Independence.Based on the 2008 novel by essayist and North Dakota native Chuck Klosterman, “Downtown Owl” is set in 1983 in the fictional North Dakota town of Owl. It follows Julia Rabia (Rabe), a Milwaukee teacher who moves to the small town for a one-semester teaching job in order to give her husband the space to finish his doctoral thesis. Ed Harris, Vanessa Hudgens, Jack Dylan Grazer, Finn Wittrock and Henry Golding are also in the cast.“Downtown Owl” had its wor...

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 05:08:46 GMT

ST. LOUIS - For more perspective on just how disappointing this St. Louis Cardinals season has been to this point, they could be in jeopardy of finishing last place in the National League for the first time since World War I. But that's not all. In the 21st century, there has never been one time an MLB season that ended with two teams from the same state holding the worst records in the National League and the American League. The St. Louis Cardinals and Kansas City Royals could potentially become the first pair to attain some dooming history. The St. Louis Cardinals enter the weekend with a 27-42 record, one game behind the Washington Nationals for the NL cellar. The Kansas City Royals enter the weekend with an 18-50 record, half a game behind the Oakland Athletics for the AL cellar.
