[@randallsage6740]

Yes, my sister played the piano on the Admiral for years. That was many years in the past, prior to the.... "changes" that were made in St Louis.

My memories are from 1961-1982 +\-. Raised in U.City. TheZoo,(an Forrest Park) was an easy bike ride away. According to my mom, Gaslight Square was started by Richard Mutrux, (mom's cousin),and a Mr.Masucci. Mom, and her friend,Marylin Masucci, were the first waitresses (i.e.:female waiters) in St Louis (or, at least in Gaslight Square). This was all before my time.(but I did know Richard Mutrux, and met Mr Masucci (or Maccucci). His daughter,Lisa,was a good friend of mine.). I also got to know the owner of the Parkmoore restaurant. I remember the trolley cars that ran from The Loop,up into Clayton.(it came up,Pershing Ave. where I lived. I could go on................ Thanks for the memories.

[@MikeHolzhauser]

I was born and raised in South St Louis

[@tscooter22]

I almost drowned sliding down Johnson Shut-ins rocks. I got sucked into a whirlpool and when i came up my head kept hitting more rocks. Right before I ran out of air I found an underwater air pocket with people having discussion.Then I jumped off of the tallest cliff shown here and got um... injured. must keep legs crossed when landing. ;-) I hit bottom too. That surprised me.

[@CrazyOldManNetwork]

@Mr351Nova Thank you. The only problem is I have more women chasing me now. I live in a senior citizens apartment and I found out that there a lot of good looking women here my age. the only problem with getting to know the people here is that they die. I live in downtown Detroit and love it. I spent time in some of the most dangerous parts of the hood and never was afraid. That is how I survived and got the Crazy Old White Man for a street name. I love people an that helps too.

[@deweynoodlexxxx9435]
