Around that year and it may have been 68, St Louis and the midwest area had a fairly strong earthquake. I remember talking about it at school. The arch was jumping some of my class mates said. Yeah right. I thought. The Admiral is the large ship/boat on the Mississippi. Long gone now. Busch Stadium. Seen The Beatles there in 66. McCartney in 93. Oh yeah and a baseball team called the Cardinals. Which I believe won the 68 World Series. Yeah I rode the elevators up the Arch a few times. As a kid it reminded me of a space ship getting into it and the bluish lights inside.East St Louis was not a great place to be in 69,- if ever.
Yeah I remember that earth quake in 68 me and my brother was outside playing in the yard when the quake hit scared us to dead we was living on Lucas and Hunt Rd. right across from Normandy high school.
I was born in St Louis January 20th 1958 and I'm still here. Let's give it up for KSHE progressive rock radio. October 1967 till? Grew up on KSHE famous bar downtown, Jewish Hospital, Barnes Hospital, BJC, and finally St Louis City Sheriff's Department the best. Presently retired fat and happy. What's next only the shadow knows ooh ooh.
On July 23, 1969 my Very pregnant wife and I did something of a walking tour of the Gateway Arch grounds. Later that night she gave birth to our second child. a boy. The inducement of labor was, as the reader might surmise, the motivation for taking a walk. So, what day were you there?
My mom worked at channel 4 back then she was the one that helped with the IBM cards throughout the late 1950s and late 1960s then she went to work for a few years in E St Louis at St Mary's Hospital truth
We lived in Indiana and our grandparents lived in Southeastern Kansas. I was born in 1950 so every holiday we traveled throught Saint Louis and wowwww, does this bring back memories. Thanks for sharing John J
for the days of the old zoo, forest parks highlands, the old sheraton jefferson hotel downtown, the trolly cars, mrs. hullings the old sportsman's ball park
When you think this was 50 years ago, it all pretty much looks the same. I noticed lots of new development with Arch, Busch Stadium, and the new KMOX building. It will probably look like this in another 50 years.
Andrea Sher not true, have worked downtown for 26 years and it has changed a great deal. Lot more hotels, the river front doesn’t look anything like this. And we have two newer bridges.
Thanks for watching right after we left here we went to the Rocky Mountains and Yellowstone that video is also on here Man landed on the moon while we were at Rocky Mt NP
🤣 No one went to the moon the TV is evil and manipulates humans. Example? Meteorologist Bob Richard’s last name wasn’t Richards it was Schwartz(Jewish) So I’ll assume since the fake news used his fake name his plane crash suicide was also fake news like all TV news is fake as a result of Due Process and fair use law which makes reporting real events nearly impossible. The arch is likely some sort of satanic ritual in the form of “architecture” The area has many mental institutions as a result of many genuine salt of the earth people attempting to not go along with what the fake news was broadcasting so they were institutionalized. The area struggles as a result of public education being a lie that teaches and instigates racism with fake misleading “US History” that keeps the area divided. It’s hard for me to imagine why anyone would spend their life living in St.Louis however people do it. Thanks for the cool video!
01:00 Wonder what that second paddle wheeler was. One is the Goldenrod Showboat, which was strictly stationary. The River Queen sank in 1967, so that is not the other one. Remember eating on it the night before it sank and commenting to my parents how the carpet was so very wet. Woke up the next day to the news showing the debris in the river where it had completely rolled over onto its side.
@@sandragrace2u That's it! Forgot about it being destroyed by a fire back in 2010. It was built in 1969 and would have been a brand new addition to the riverfront at that time. Thank you for solving the mystery!
The Admiral was built as a steam-powered side-wheel paddlewheel boat; it was converted to diesel-powered propellers in 1973.

I'm from Carr-Square Village right east of where Pruitt-Igoe stood. Born in '76, though. The problem I think with the decline of Saint Louis came from bad planning. Whereas Chicago expanded with industry and technological advance, the hometown just didn't. Chicago embraced railway systems as well, river systems, St Louis didn't. The "old money" started to feel the pinch and saw it so they sold out and left. I'm now in the KC area but am eyeing the Atlanta area since I own a recording and multimedia studio. But St Louis will always be home ....
They are building new residences around Carr St., as well as lots of other places. Some stuff is still beat down and dying, but the construction in the last 5-7 years is more than I ever recall from the early 90s until about 2015, you should have a visit. 🙂
IxHUFFxPAINT St Charles was the country when we were growing up in the early 70s. The white flight growth explosion and development happened what seemed to be over night. 1978 it was really starting when they added the other side of the Blanchett bridge which was the south bound lanes.
Yeah im hip. My family is from NorthSide,20th&Obear.2blocks from the white water tower. They stayed until 68' I think. Rest of the fam is SouthSide. We moved to St.Charles in 90'. I grew up in the NorthEnd right behind the A&W. Main st had a playground and fancy water fountains.
@ thanks tho. Im looking for Main Street St.Charles late 80s early 90s. Ive spent years trying to find pics or vids of the alley way under the old bridge overpass. There was a spray painted mural of the TinyToons. It sparked my love for graffiti and art.
Orchard Farm,Portage,West Alton,all that ua still rural. Everything west is developed big time,including Warrenton & Wright City. "Wine Country" is still 90%rural,few random high dollar neighborhoods.
I keep getting remcommed old footage of St.Louis.
Because you keep searching and watching it
I love those clips 💞
I'm getting them now, in case you're wondering where the got off to
Meh, could be worse.... 🙂
In 2021 I’m ready to go back to these days.
I'd like to go back to the days of Sally Benson
