This Saturday, Aug. 22, marks the 150th anniversary of when St. Louis chose to split itself in two. The decision, now known as the Great Divorce, created an enduring divide that still shapes the region today. In this encore of the first episode of STLPR’s podcast, “Meet Me,” host Luis Antonio Perez visits a family whose home sits right on the city-county line and explores the origin of the split with Missouri Historical Society historian Andrew Wanko.
