I am looking for a picture of Bessie Buerky, music teacher at Ritenour Jr. High, 1945-1970. We did not have a yearbook when I was there (1957), but I’m thinking there might have been one published later on. Any help would be appreciated!

I lived in the Village from 1991 to 2001 and still miss it today. As to “remote”? – not at all. Glasgow to downtown? 15 minutes. Glasgow to Fenton? 30 minutes. Glasgow to St. Charles? 20 minutes. I loved my little 2BR house – a stone’s throw from the elementary school. I still drive through the neighborhood on occasion. It makes me sad to see the disrepair of some of the area, but there are still quite a few folks keeping the faith. I hope it can come back for the next generation.

YES! Foley’s used the “this is where it all starts this is where it gets good” campaign too and I’m obsessed with finding it! Let me know if you have any luck.

I worked for Charlie for a number of years as his ” Recovery Specialist”. Believe it or not , there were some people who actually financed these cars with Charlie and then tried to stiff him…Not the thing to do with Charlie. I had quite a few “incidents” that should go down in the Repo record books but they don’t keep records for that kind of thing. All in all , good times and a great guy to work for.

When I heard that Rossino’s had closed I couldn’t believe it. I started going there in 1970 and went every year untill 2005. If I ever had a friend visiting st louis I alwys took them to “R”, that was what st louis was all about. I don’t think they ever forgot it either.

I always remember the one waiter a tall guy he was one of the decor.

Miss ya,

Even though the houses/lots were tiny, the families I knew in Glasgow Village were solidly middle class. My best friend’s father was a St. Louis City police captain (as Toby alluded to), and another friend’s father is a retired McDonnell/Boeing engineer (who actually lived in his house until a few years ago). The other commenters are exactly right; we never felt far from anything. Hop on 67/367, and get downtown, and get on 270, and get anywhere else you needed to go. Thanks for this great article!

I have 3 stock certificates from Public Service Savings and Loan Association. They are from my great grandfather with dates of 1917,1920, and 1928. I would like to know if you could tell me who the bank went to? I am trying to find out if these stocks are worth any money. Thanks

I’m heart broken. We spent so much time at this wonderful place. Could you publish a cookbook??? Please…seriously, please. You could not beat the simple delicious salad, chicken pram, ohhhh the eggplant pram, the pizza…Hell, every item on the menu was amazingly delicious. Seriously, I’m so sad we will never have the chance to take our children to this magical little place. I wish the family well and thank you for the years of wonderful food….but seriously, make a cookbook or just share some recipes for those of us that were addicted to your amazing food and crave it!!! God bless!
