Thank you so much for watching- I'm glad you found the video and I was able to bring you what I saw that day. I really appreciate it. That is awesome to know that you still care about your old place. Thanks for sharing this with me.

Thank you! It's really spectacular. You'll really enjoy it if you can go on a nice weather day. It's really breathtaking, unusual, and unique how they built these mounds with their hands. There's nothing like it.

That's a good video- I watched. They're exactly right- the rankings are skewed. We have our issues for sure- just like every other city- but we are not worse than the others- that's for sure- and I have a lot of hope for the future. I've also walked around a heck of a lot just for the videos and I haven't had any problems.

I agree with u. I was very surprised about those crime stats and I see they are not really mirroring the reality of STL. I like the city, spent there my best life time and never ever felt in danger. Well, exception was east STL of course;) Sending to STL greetings and positive energy👍🤝 Keep going pal.

@@Erik101 Thanks again for the positivity.

Thanks so much for the support. I really appreciate it. Can't wait for it to warm up some more- stay warm.

Thanks so much for watching. I think it is still family owned as far as I know.

@organstl I'm asking because I was distantly related to a gentleman from that same area. He has passed on now, but I remember as a child he used to come up to where my family lived and visit and stay for a few days. His name was Mike Colombo. I was a young child back then, would have been mid 70's to mid 80's. His family owned a restaurant I remember my family talking about that. I'm just wondering if that's the same restaurant.

@@deco9863 Yes Mike and Tony opened their restaurant in 1951. There's a good chance that is who you are talking about. Their grandkids run it now I think.

@organstl I hate to keep asking you these questions but I remember when Mike used to visit, his granddaughter used to come with him. Her name was Sharon. Would you happen to know if she's one of the people who are running it now? Thanks in advance

​@@organstl Found out a bit more information, Mike's wife was my grandfather's sister. Her name was Laura. Mike and Laura had a daughter whose name was Betty. Betty had a daughter, which would be one of Mike and Laura's grandchildren, her name was Sharon. She used to come up to visit with Laura. Sharon is a few years younger than I.

Thanks so much for watching. Lots of history in the area.

That is a smart choice- I can't blame you. The chicken is amazing. Thanks so much for watching- I'm glad you found the video and thanks for the comment. It's interesting to hear how many people like Hodak's- which is not exactly a surprise rightfully so- ha!

😂Stay safe and warm also. Can't wait for the snow to melt and warm up.

🙏❤

Thanks so much for giving my video a try! I really appreciate it and I'm glad I could bring it to you.

Thanks so much. That is very kind. I really appreciate it. Have a safe and happy New Year!

You're right- they're terrific. I know many a people who love O'connells. Thanks for watching and the comment- much appreciated.

It was great! Ha! Thanks so much for watching again. I really appreciate you. Hope you have a safe and happy New Year!

Thanks again for watching. That is very interesting comment. Yes I have heard of them but I have not eaten that. They still have places that sell them. My dad also said he didn't eat them but he thinks his dad probably did and he remembers a place on Gravois and Mackenzie that had a big sign out front advertising brain sandwiches. Very interesting.

That sounds interesting. I will keep an eye out for them. I'm sure they are too much fire for me too- but it is always interesting testing these things. Ha!

Ha! LOL. That is so funny!!! I appreciate the comment.

Awesome- thanks for watching and I hope you enjoy it!

That is awesome- such a classic. My sister knew someone who worked on Manchester and she got a lot of ideas from her! Ha!

Thanks so much for watching and the comment. Really appreciate it again.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! Thanks for the kind words, thinking of me and checking in on the channel.

This is my favorite video so far!!

@@melissaorgan4543 Thank you!

I looked it up! Thanks for the comment. Looks like a good local place still.

Thanks so much for watching- the one on Benton Park Neighborhood takes in part of that. We start at Hodak's and eventually get to Cherokee Street and the Lemp Mansion. The other one I have on that is the Cinco de Mayo Parade and Festival- that is just of the festival with the people and food. That is what I have on Cherokee so far- thanks for the question.

It's beautiful- thanks again.

@@organstl I shared your video with my brother and daughters they also resided on the hill for many years.

@@ernestclary6035 Thank you so much- that's awesome! I really appreciate it!

Awesome- great band. Riverport will always be Riverport. Ha!

Yes! My dad talks about that all the time. He grew up in Benton Park and went to St. Agnes grade school- and there was a man selling pretzels nearby.

Thanks for watching!

Thanks for watching! I really appreciate it. I'm glad you found the video!

That is awesome that you contributed to such a unique, beautiful neighborhood! This is fantastic!

Thanks for watching- I appreciate your time. It can be quite confusing- there were many bypass and alternative routes. It did go over the MacArthur Bridge- which included a car deck- before it went over the Old Chain of Rocks Bridge- which it went over in the 1930s. There are all kinds of different routes and re-routes that were part of it also. It's hard to keep track of all of it.

@organstl Oh.....ok... thanks 👍

Yes! 😀 They don't hold back on the bacon!

Thanks so much for taking the time to watch and sharing your story! I'm glad you found it and really appreciate it.

Thanks so much for watching and the kind words- I really appreciate it. Yes, Butch is a St. Louis hero!

Thanks for watching. I'm glad you found it. I really appreciate it.

Yes Benton Park is also named after Thomas Hart Benton. I also say "Show tow" like everyone else but was just pronouncing Auguste Chouteau's name like that for the video- It was pronounced differently, but we have "Americanized" it. Ha!

That's awesome. A lot of history there and many legends. That is a cool school to be a part of. I showed that in the Academy/Sherman Park video. You might like that one.

I did this! It was very good and funny! He's very good. Thanks for the comment- I wasn't paying any attention to that at the time.

Thanks so much for watching.

Good question.

Aww that's a shame. That's a sad story but thanks for sharing that. I'm glad you found the video and I could share some of it with you this way. I hope you liked it. Thanks for commenting- I really appreciate it.

Thank you so much. I really appreciate this- it brightened my day.

Thanks for watching. Much appreciated 😀

It is important to keep everything up to date and looking good- one thing I give them credit for are the flowers around the city in the spring and summer. They make things look really nice. I've seen them around Ballpark Village, along Market Street, Laclede's Landing, and all around in different spots- and they do make a difference and make things look good- no one really ever mentions those.

Thanks and you stay safe too 🙏

Thanks so much for watching and the comment. TWA was awesome- I still have a paper card of theirs in a box from when I was a kid and we went on a couple of flights. Lots of history here with McDonnell Douglas.
