Dog bar chain closes all locations across three cities
Dog bar chain Bar K said on Tuesday, July 29, it would be closing all three of its locations in St. Louis, Kansas City and Oklahoma City. Bar K said in a news release it would be closing its three locations in three different cities due to a "variety of challenges," ranging from inflationary costs to other specific issues in each location. The closures are permanent and effective immediately, the company added. "We know Bar K has become a beloved, indispensable destination for you and your pups, and we understand many of you will be upset and disappointed by this decision and want to understand the reasons," the company said. "On behalf of everyone at Bar K, we want to thank you, the dog-loving community, for supporting us over the years and for trusting us to create this unique new experience for you and your pups." Where is Bar K closing? The three locations closing are the following: In the same release, the company said its location in Kansas City closed as it became "extremely isolated" by construction projects in the area that took up its parking lot. According to local news stations KSDK and Fox 2, Bar K's St. Louis location also faced challenges prior to its closure, as it faced a lawsuit filed in 2024 alleging the location had almost $300,000 in unpaid rent to St. Louis-based developer and landlord, Green Street. "As is often the case, there isn't one single cause, but rather a variety of challenges that ultimately proved too difficult for our start-up business to overcome," the company said.

Viral women-only app 'Tea' hits 1 million downloads amid privacy concerns over anonymous posting
The women-only Tea app has reached one million downloads and topped the App Store lifestyle chart, gaining rapid popularity for its bold premise. Marketed as a dating safety tool, Tea allows women to post photos of men they're dating to request 'tea', or gossip, about them from other users. Founder Sean Cook created the app after his mother was catfished online. The platform includes features like reverse image search, phone number lookups, and public records checks to verify identities. Tea also includes the 'Tea Party Group Chat,' where women anonymously share experiences and rate past partners. Tea is restricted to verified female users and employs AI moderation technology to detect and remove harmful content. Screenshot prevention and a 'green flag' feature aim to protect privacy while encouraging safer dating. Supporters say the app gives women more control in a digital dating environment that often lacks transparency. Still, concerns are growing about the app's potential for misuse. Legal experts warn that posting photos and accusations without consent may qualify as defamation. 'Truth is an absolute defence for a defamation claim; you can't just sue someone because your feelings are hurt,' attorney William Barnwell told Fox 2. Cybersecurity expert Jake Moore said the app's anonymous structure could 'easily be used to spread unverified accusations' or even serve as 'a revenge tool.' Some Reddit users claiming to be affected men have asked for their images to be taken down. With regulations like GDPR in the EU, the app's future expansion may face legal obstacles. While its intentions are protective, users are advised to proceed cautiously.

Illegal Venezuelan migrant pleads guilty to crash that killed boy a day before his 12th birthday
An illegal migrant from Venezuela has pleaded guilty to causing a head-on crash in Missouri that killed a boy just a day before his 12th birthday. Endrina Bracho, 34, was driving with her own two kids on Dec. 20, 2023, when her Dodge van crossed onto the opposite lane in Hazelwood, a suburb of St. Louis, at 75 mph — 35 mph over the speed limit, Fox 2 reported. She smashed head-on into a Jeep carrying Travis Wolfe, who spent several months on life support until succumbing to his injuries on March 6, 2024, a day before his 12th birthday. 4 Travis Wolfe, a 12-year-old Missouri boy, died three months after his family's Jeep was hit by an illegal immigrant speeding on the wrong side of the road. FOX 2 St. Louis Bracho's two children were taken to the same hospital with serious injuries, while Travis' parents, Timothy and Stephanie, were treated at another hospital for multiple broken bones. Bracho pleaded guilty in St. Louis County Circuit Court on Monday to first-degree involuntary manslaughter and two counts of second-degree assault. Her blind plea means she agreed to plead guilty without prior discussion or agreement with the prosecution about sentencing, Fox 2 noted. 4 Edina Bracho, 33, pleaded guilty to first-degree involuntary manslaughter. St. Louis County She is scheduled to be sentenced on Sept. 12 and prosecutors have recommended up to 27 years in jail. Prosecutors dismissed two counts of first-degree endangering the welfare of a child and two misdemeanor traffic charges, related to her children. 4 Travis Wolfe spent three months at St. Louis Children's Hospital. FOX 2 St. Louis Court papers previously noted that Bracho 'was here illegally from Venezuela,' without detailing exactly when she came. While her status 'did not play a part in [the] investigation,' it made it 'difficult identifying all parties involved because we didn't have documentation or identifications in the vehicle to try to figure out who the two juveniles and the suspect were,' Hazelwood police Sgt. Scott Schnurbusch previously told Fox 2. Wolfe's death was highlighted by US Sen. Josh Hawley (R-Mo.) as a heartbreaking example of the failed immigration policies of then-President Joe Biden. 4 Travis Wolfe succumbed to his injuries just a day before his 12th birthday.. FOX 2 St. Louis 'Travis Wolfe, a 12-year old Missouri boy killed by an illegal migrant,' Hawley tweeted in March last year. 'This is what an open border does. Say his name.'

Who Is Hank Winchester? Emmy-Winning Reporter's Home Raided as Cops Probe Allegations He Sexually Abused Man During Massage
An Emmy-winning investigative TV reporter from Detroit — who co-hosts a podcast with the wife of a Los Angeles Rams player — is now being investigated himself, as his home was recently searched by authorities, who were investigating allegations that he made unwanted sexual advances toward a man during a massage. Hank Winchester, an investigative journalist for WDIV Local 4 — an NBC affiliate — and host of HelpMeHank, is married to Oakland County Circuit Judge Jacob Cunningham, according to his Instagram profile. The couple also has a young daughter. Beverly Hills Police Department along with the Oakland County Sheriff's Office, searched his Winchester home while executing a search warrant, according to Fox 2. Shocking Allegations The search was conducted as part of an investigation into claims that Winchester made unwanted sexual advances toward a man during a massage. According to sources who spoke with Fox 2, Winchester had recently been studying massage therapy. It remains unclear whether he was receiving the massage or acting as the masseur during the alleged incident. Winchester is also a co-host of The Morning After podcast alongside Kelly Stafford, the wife of Los Angeles Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford. The podcast sometimes includes well-known guests from major media outlets such as Access Hollywood and ESPN. Prior to joining the Los Angeles Rams, Matthew Stafford was the quarterback for the Detroit Lions from 2009 to 2020. Winchester shared that he had maintained a long-standing friendship with the Stafford family, as noted in a farewell message he wrote when they relocated to Los Angeles in 2021. After the "external investigation," was launched WDIV Vice President Bob Ellis confirmed that Winchester has been put on administrative leave. In a Scandalous Situation Winchester's attorney, Todd Flood, expressed confidence that the investigation will not result in any serious findings. "Hank has spent decades bringing truth to our community and fighting for our citizens. Because he holds a high-profile position in our community, that can at times generate false accusations. This investigation will end where it began – nowhere," he wrote. No charges have been filed at this time, and the investigation remains active. Winchester is not the only media personality to face such accusations in recent months. Back in April, a former Virginia weatherman was arrested after allegedly creating a sex tape and trying to blackmail his victims with it. In a separate incident last year, a TV news anchor from Louisiana stepped down after he was caught sending explicit messages to someone he believed was a 15-year-old girl — who was actually part of a vigilante group known as the "predator hunters."
