    Best of the Arch City Report 2025

    Happy holidays from all of us at The St. Louis Business Journal!  On April 17th, the Art City Report offered a look into the early makings of Mayor Cara Spencer's administration, a brief forecast of an upcoming event on advanced manufacturing. But the real reason this episode is special is because of Nathan Rubbelke's reporting on what we call the Saviors of South King's Highway. Brothers, Ivan and Berto Garcia have a really unique approach to taking risk in real estate investments in a way that is transforming a historic, yet sometimes forgotten St. Louis neighborhood.  Enjoy this "best of" episode from April and we'll be back with fresh episodes in 2026!
