In this episode of The New Melle Pulse, we explore the accelerating development sweeping across rural Saint Charles County—and why it matters for everyone who lives, drives, or dreams of building here. This is the kickoff to our development series, featuring drone footage, firsthand accounts, historical context, and a powerful reminder that citizen voices matter. From 2,000 acres of farmland disappearing daily to rezoning battles that ignore public input, we uncover what’s really happening behind the scenes—and how you can get involved. 👇

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist
It’s 1996 in rural North Carolina, and an oddball crew makes history when they pull off America’s third largest cash heist. But it’s all downhill from there. Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
