Book Synopsis St. Louis Casa Loma Ballroom by : David A. Lossos
Download or read book St. Louis Casa Loma Ballroom written by David A. Lossos and published by Arcadia Publishing. This book was released on 2005 with total page 132 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1927, on the northeast corner of Cherokee and Iowa Streets in south St. Louis, a multistory, multipurpose building was erected. Retail shops and a bowling alley occupied the first floor, while upstairs was a place that defied the imagination of someone driving by in their brand new Model T Ford. Today, that upstairs space, with its lofty ceiling, huge maple tongue-in-groove dance floor, and wraparound balcony, is the Casa Loma Ballroom -- St. Louis' last grand ballroom. Today, one gets the feeling that the ghosts of the big bands and the vocalists still linger there -- and with good reason. Just about everybody who was anybody played there at one time or another. Ol' Blue Eyes himself, before he was the idol of millions, received just a meager "Featured Singer, Frank Sinatra" note at the bottom of the Casa Loma bill the night he played with the Harry James Orchestra.

Book excerpt: As we approach the 241st anniversary of the settlement on the banks of the mighty Mississippi that came to be the metropolis of St. Louis, it is appropriate to look back at this great city. We have precious few physical reminders of the days of Laclede and Chouteau. It wasn't until the mid19th century that we regularly recorded via photographs the development (and destruction) of the sights that make St. Louis unique. It is through these images that we have the marvelous capability to look back and view our city through the eyes of our predecessors: To see the things that were here decades ago and still look the same; to see things that no longer exist, and to see what we have replaced them with; to see what we have preserved, and what we have discarded; and to see the present via the images of the past. There is no way to encompass all the changes that this city has seen in one book. The views in this book will give the reader a representative selection of the more recognizable sights in the St. Louis metropolitan area. The intent is to include most of the major places and things that everyone identifies with St. Louis. But also included are more obscure photos that show scenes with which many of our ancestors would also identify. There will always be progress, but that which is lost is worth remembering. So sit back, relax, and take a stroll down the streets of St. Louis as our ancestors knew them.
Book Synopsis Casaloma Ballroom and the Book of Dreams by : Tom Obermeier
Download or read book Casaloma Ballroom and the Book of Dreams written by Tom Obermeier and published by Createspace Independent Pub. This book was released on 2011-06-23 with total page 206 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It's 1999, sixty years after the fire that destroyed the Casa Loma Ballroom and claimed the life of Orville Hatcher. The vintage swing revival is sweeping the country. Vintage swing dancing, vintage clothing and vintage swing music are all the rage, and what better place to find all of the above but St. Louis's own, Casa Loma Ballroom. Like everyone else who is caught up in the Lindy Hop swing craze, Jerry Russell and Ann Brill embrace the new phenomenon and everyone in it with open arms. Rediscovering swing dancing for the two is like a breath of fresh air. The friendly swing dancers at Casa Loma are reminiscent of a simpler, more honest time, when big band music was popular. But everything is not as it seems. There appears to be some unfinished business in between the dust and shadows of the old Ballroom. Could it be there's a new 'swing killer' among the dedicated Big Band enthusiasts, or maybe the tormented soul of Orville Hatcher has found a way back in time to continue his murderous ways? Jerry and Ann discover the answers to those questions in the conclusion of, Casa Loma Ballroom and the Book of Dreams Par t II.

Book excerpt: From iconic buildings like the Old Cathedral to the Polish butcher shop in North City, Oldest St. Louis explores the history of St. Louis through the history of the city's oldest institutions, streets, and businesses.

From the oldest Italian bar to the oldest bowling alley, the book recalls St. Louis's ethnic traditions. In following the stories of the oldest businesses and institutions, the book becomes a sensory tour of St. Louis featuring the crunchy oatmeal cookies made in the Dutchtown neighborhood the same way for 82 years, the fragrance in the 138 year old Greenhouse in mid-winter and the beauty of St. Louis's 184 year-old Lafayette Park. Oldest St. Louis is also a nostalgic look at recent history from the space-age design of South County Mall, to a cherry Coke made with a secret recipe since the Chuck-A-Burger drive-in restaurant opened in St. Ann in 1957.

Book Synopsis Hoosiers and Scrubby Dutch, Second Edition: St. Louis's South Side by : Jim Merkel
Download or read book Hoosiers and Scrubby Dutch, Second Edition: St. Louis's South Side written by Jim Merkel and published by Reedy Press LLC. This book was released on 2014-10-01 with total page 273 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the South Side, there lived a tactless TV guy who had a way of getting tossed out of everything on camera, from the old VP Fair to Bill Clinton’s 1996 local re-election victory party. On the South Side, there dwelt a collector of ancient vacuum cleaners, none of which worked when he demonstrated them before millions of guffawing viewers watching on national television. And on the South Side, a beer baron tried to fight off Prohibition with a high-class, three-sided beer hall. It’s all in the second edition of Hoosiers and Scrubby Dutch: St. Louis’s South Side. The first edition captured the essence of the South St. Louis, with its tales of women scrubbing steps ever Saturday, the yummy brain sandwich, and a nationally known gospel performer who ran a furniture store in the Cherokee neighborhood. These stories, along with the new ones that fill the second edition, convey what gives a truly unique place its rough but charming personality. The result—Holy Hoosiers!—is an edition that’s even better than the first!
