The guys fought like men with their fist. We were lucky to have grown up at this time when things were so simple no shooting or drugs. Bob Kuban was on Channel 5 this morning about his “one hit wonder†and he can still play.
The great bands we always had to dance to. I remember Jerry and Pat who were upper class men then. I graduated from Aquinas in 63’ and what a great year that was. I live in Ohio now, but still think St Louis is the most wonderful city ever! And of course, still a huge Cardinal fan! Great post…thanks for the memories!
We would eat at the Chariton (great shrimp). We also liked to see the Vess Bottle off of Hampton across from Steak and Shake. When we were little we loved to see Santa at Famous Barr, go to Mavrakos for Heavenly Hash, go to Ted Drew’s, get pretzels from the street vendor, see the Cardinals. My Grandma Harster worked at the Tums factory.

He used to upgrade Dad and his friends to front row seats. Dad used to go to Sportsman’s Park and sit in the “Knot Hole Gang†section where his uncle, Harry Kramer was a police officer working at the Park.

My parents were good friends of the Dohack’s and we used to go there all the time for their Jack Salmon and BBQ sauce. In the true German style we would have baked goods and cold cuts for breakfast. My grandparents took us to Doerings every Saturday and then we would go to Fehlbaums (sp) Meat Store for good braunsweiger and cold cuts. Anyone remember the name? We still go to Carondelet Bakery (Doerings) on Virginia best cheesecake and gooey butter cake anywhere south St Louis style slabs of cheesecake in cuts, apricot cake peanut cakes stolen. He also talked about bowling at a little alley on Virginia. Dad talked about the hot tamale man where his friends would like to tease how's your wife? and the tamale man would say hot - red hot. They are no longer living, but used to tell us wonderful stories about growing up in St Louis. My parents were born in the 20s and raised in South St Louis on Water Street and Broadway. I remember riding my bike in Tower Grove Park (even after dark!). I remember riding the Grand Avenue electric street cars. I remember (as a ten year old) being sent to the corner tavern to get I remember getting all the news I needed from a St. I remember the first time I had the nerve to wear "bermuda shorts".
