  KMOX NEWS:  St. Louis’ Playboy Club Nothing Like TV Show September 23, 2011 1:09 PM    ST. LOUIS, Mo. (KMOX) – It’s premiere week for the television networks. One show, “The Playboy Club” is fashioned after the first club to open in Chicago in 1960. The St. Louis Playboy Club opened on Lindell Blvd. in 1962. Hugh Hefner even came for the opening. “The playboy club was wonderful, and Mr. Hefner was everybody my age’s hero,” said jazz pianist Bill Cherry. “I went there to play primarily so I would really be admired by my pals, and people would think of me as umm… I wish I could be him.” Cherry was among a group union musicians that worked at the club. But besides playing at the club Cherry was a Washington University college student and a banker. While the new TV series portrays sex and... 09/24/2011

A Glimpse of 9/11/2011 in St. Louis, MO Yesterday was more poignant than any of us anticipated.  What impactful remembrances across our nation and all done so beautifully.  We were once again reminded to pause in our everyday routines and contemplate a few of the reasons our country is where it is today and has done some of the things it has done.  Watching some of the tributes and then being in attendance at some of them in my own wonderful city of St. Louis has me thinking:  Is my life making a difference in a positive way?  Is anyone else having this reaction? The memorial will be on display until September 19, 2011.  If you are nearby, you should really stop by. Click for slideshow Remembering 911 in St Louis 09/12/2011

Are you buying for your lifestyle or your neighbors? About 40 years ago when I was in my mid twenties a friend of ours gave us a tour of his brother and sister-in-law's newly rehabbed home.  This home was located in a very prestigious area of the St. Louis Metro area and our friend actually lived in the carraige house.  He showed us through on an evening when the family was doing their thing:  the kids were doing their homework in the breakfast room, the dad was working in his den and the mother was sitting on the rung of a ladder in the kitchen reading a book.  The ladder was an attached/built in ladder to accommodate the tall cabinets in this high ceilinged kitchen (like one of those rolling ladders in bookstores of yore).  I was astounded at her choice of a hangout in this huge house... 08/22/2011
