A big thank you to Polly Burtch for sending me this link this afternoon, on a day when I am working at my desk, and began by working on finding a KHS65 classmate. Talk about nostalgia. Here is the main one we Kirkwoodians may well remember, I sure do! I lived in Des Peres 11th and 12th grade and after for awhile, so passed by Lindbergh & Manchester, and went to that Parkmoor often. When the Clayton and Big Bend one was torn down, I lived just about maybe 1/2 mile or so west of it - I remember the rubble well! As I looked at the photo of the interior of 'our' Parkmoor so many memories rushed in...I know they will for many of you too... But there is more - go to www.losttables.com for a huge menu of pictures of closed restaurants. The memories of my parents, my boyfriends, life events, friends, and so much more come rushing back! I told Polly I will likely count how many are shown, then how many bring back memories...I'll bet it's a large percentage, but I suppose maybe that's cuz I'm so old! We're NOT going to have a contest of who actually ate at the most, that misses the point, the memories are....
THANK YOU POLLY! A great way to think about our history!
