Reminds us of Ross Perot’s “sucking sound”. Next thing you know it’ll be a brewery.

I love the picture displayed with DeWitts lake in the background. Since Jeff Rainford isn’t quoted I can only assume the city wasn’t interested.
The Budweiser bowling team in the mid nineteen fifties was quite popular.
Downtown will be booming for the 2009 all star game. I can see that village arising. Eddie you haven’t had much positive news to “platform” on since your return.

I think Obama’s lame attempt at bowling just about did it for that sport.

You guys (gals) need to cheer up! Take a deep cleansing breath! Get some exercise. It will do you some good!

There will be that much more room for the parking garage that will grace the ball park village area.

I was there the day they broke ground for the building. While plenty of jokes were made about the BHF it is another “feather in the cap of St. Louis” that has flown away.

Something we could Dallas for would be the headquarters of Southwestern Bell, or whatever it’s called now.

And as for Barack Obama’s bowling attempt, at least he doesn’t use the skulls of dead serviceman to win political points for his nowhere man campaign.

With the BHF in Texas there will be that much more room for the parking garage that will grace the ball park village area.

I was there the day they broke ground for the building. While plenty of jokes were made about the BHF it is another “feather in the cap of St. Louis” that has flown away.

Something we could with Dallas would be the headquarters of Southwestern Bell, or whatever it’s called now.

And as for Barack Obama’s bowling attempt, at least he doesn’t use the skulls of dead serviceman to win political points for his nowhere man campaign.

Ed Sweeney Senior, Judge Sweeney’s Father visited with Augie Busch asking for help with getting and building The Bowling Hall of Fame in St. Louis. Mr. Busch handed Ed a check for $ 500,000 for starters. The new owners of our Red Birds have screwed up one more thing for St. Louis.
