MEMORIES - ST. LOUIS AS I KNEW IT

[@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.

[@edljnehan2811]

I'm 65 years old lived here all my life. I've been to just about every place on this video. You're right it does bring back memories.

I would love to see a film clip of the Admiral actually cruising. No one seems to have one.

[@markfosdick190]

Wouldn't you just love to be seating in your car eating a "Steak Burger" watching all your old friends drive by.

@CrazyOldManNetwork Im from the detroit area , i grew up in westland 20 west of down town detroit . I worked in detroit at cobo hall for meany years so i know the area very well. Good luck to you my friend .

[@jeffking4176]

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.

Thank you for sharing.. Featured on WDRN

[@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]

CrazyOldManNetwork are you still around

[@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.

[@Mr351Nova]

Hey lee ...... You shaved ! You look 20 years younger.
