Karen's Memories Growing Up in the 50s

I am so glad to see someone from South County joining in. I was from Lemay. I lived in Bella Ville before it was a speed trap. Cusanelli's reataurant. Fish at Dohacks on Friday evenings and ribs on Sunday. You ate outside as there was no inside seating. Wr had a club house on the Meramec river behind Lone Elk Park, We thought it was so far to drive in to Valley Park for ice. Arlans store on Reavis and Lemay. Capri swimming pool. Also driving out to Spring Forest Pool. We also went to the Downs on Broadway. Going shopping on S. Broadway in Carondelet. It was all so wonderful. I grew up in the 50's.
