Watching a small group scrimmage, Ben Lundt, St. Louis City SC goalkeeper and founder of Lundt Pro Soccer Training, shouts words of encouragement to players on Sunday, April 26 n the Lafayette grass soccer field. “The idea behind [the event] was to bring the professional soccer players closer to the community because usually people only get to see us on TV or in the stadium. [Families] actually having the opportunity to have their kids on the field with us is the most important aspect,” Ben Lundt said.

Vintage Vinyl, found in the Delmar Loop, was opened in 1990 and has since become a part of St. Louis’s music community.

Despite current forms of streaming music, some people decide to return to vinyl, an older form of music. Many vinyl collectors enjoy the physicality of vinyl and think the sound is richer than streamed music. Collecting vinyl has brought different communities and generations together through their love of music.

I enjoy editing and creating stories through Digital Media, I get to connect with the community and other students about their passions. I love building connections and digging deeper into topics as well. Because I plan on going into sports broadcasting, I feel that this is a great way to experiment with types of coverage.
