The Missouri Historical Society has been active in the St. Louis community since 1866. Today we make history meaningful and accessible through our three locations:
• Missouri History Museum in Forest Park • Library & Research Center on Skinker Boulevard • Soldiers Memorial Military Museum in downtown St. Louis
MHS serves as the region's confluence for historical perspectives and contemporary issues, preserving and protecting our shared past for generations to come.
I wasn't at this game, but our dad took us to the Friday night game of this series against the Giants. Gibson pitched for the Cardinals against another Hall of Famer, Gaylord Perry. After this game the Cardinals made a trade with SF, trading pitcher Ray Sadecki for 1B Orlando Cepeda. Cepeda brought a badly needed big bat in the cleanup slot and would be the MVP next season when the Cards won it all.
One thing my dad made sure of was, my brother and I going to see the Cardinals at Sportsman's park from time to time. And the coolest things ever was that he got himself, my brother and me tickets to Stan The Man's last game. As you can see I didn't forget. Thanks Pop!
UGHI! PRIMA È DAVVERO LENTO E POI È DAVVERO DAVVERO VELOCE! Puoi usare questo video per i suoni del sonno! Stasera probabilmente dirò:🥱😴 OH, È ora di andare a letto? LOL!😏 HHHHHHG... HHHHHHG...(*russare). 🥱. 💤 😪 29:38
I was in the 3rd grade when Stan the Man retired. My father struggled to explain to me why he did. I fondly remember Dizzy Dean and Pee Wee Reece doing the play by play on the game of the week. Halcyon days.
I listened to this in the hopes that Philip had grown and changed, but it seems that based on his words he hasn't. He talks about "getting over it" and moving on to the important issues like healthcare and poverty. He is right, but all of that is flavored by racism and sexism. I have personally been a witness to Philip exercising dominance and control when it came to who sat at the important tables in the struggle to gain rights in the queer community going back decades. He personally excluded women and people of color, and chose wealthy white gay men. I am appalled that history is being changed before my eyes and this man is being celebrated as some "diversity" champion when that is not the case. There are so many other queer individuals who didn't have the privilege of economic security or white skin, who helped to make St. Louis a better place for the LGBTQ community. Their stories should be shared.
As a lifelong Show Me stater, and Ozark’s resident, I am forever grateful to our fore fathers and mothers that stopped the plan referred to in this program. They even tried to dam the Meremac. Could you imagine? All the remarkable beauty we float and hike through every year submerged? Yes, I am grateful it has been left to the farmers and residents.
Its really crazy how much good land and properties are being left behind because of white flight everything goes to shit after that especially North County at least thats where Im from
Bless you. I am white and I think Missouri and especially St Louis is cursed. That whole VP Fair thing is Satanic. I don’t think most white people have any idea about it. If you look up The Veiled Prophets of the Mystical Order- they are out of Chicago- also Satanic. Our best weapon is to trust in Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. He will repay. The “Gateway Arch” is a portal, and an evil one for the Free Masons and the Veiled Prophets( Moses was the real Veiled Prophet), the Jesuits and other secret elite groups. They are all obsessed with Egypt, which in Hebrew sounds very similar to the word “Missouri “- Egypt is Mizraim in Hebrew. Even the “Mighty Mississippi River “ means the same thing as the Nile River in Hebrew- it also means “Great River “. Funny that both of these rivers have the same path on a world map. As the Mississippi River passes by the State of Missouri, it looks like the flow of the Nile River. Investigate for yourself. Their darkness is great. These people are far from God.
Google once again proves it doesn't care anything about the people they allegedly serve where's the clean audio you're supposedly computer Corporation and you can't figure out how to put car audio out there
St Louis was the first city to figure out how to have clear water by allowing the water to sit so the sediment would fall to the bottom. It was said at the Missouri History Museum in St Louis next to the location of the World's Fair, that many individuals who had never experienced clear water screamed at seeing their legs. St Louis has a very rich history as the largest most west city of trade before the Louisiana Purchase from French-Canada which technically validated land ownership through paperwork, as the land didn't belong to anyone aside from the native "Indians." They were called Indians as a mistake, as a European expected that his trading voyage would take him to India as they didn't know what was on the other side of the map. Anyhow, as I said, this is the first city to have clear drinking water. Now imagine drinking brown water for an entire lifetime.
Baseball and music fan here. The background music I can identify: Washington Post March at 4:17, Auld Lang Syne at 12:20, Fairest of the Fair March at 14:23, and National Emblem March at 14:48 and 16:58.
166 ways electricity can go to work for you - a second TV set, 4 iPhones, 5 laptops, a gaming PC, 3 tablets, and oh yeah, lights! My grandmother called the electric bill the "lighting bill" because when she grew up there was only 1 way electricity could go to work for you.
At 2:55, Miss Lois asks my dad, Mister Glen, to roll out the rubber tubes to her. He had a fascinating experience working as a television engineer and was an integral part of starting up television in the St Louis area. "Mister Glen" here, along with his older brother, Richard, and a small group of KSD radio engineers, started up the UHF television channel WTVI on Signal Hill near Belleville, Illinois. They were first in the race to receive a television broadcast license in St Louis area in the 50s. My dad, Glen, was also instrumental in getting then KTVI television station back on air after the big St. Louis tornado swept through the heart of the City, knocking out nearly all communications for the St. Louis Metropolitan area. My father went out searching and found the top of the signal tower in the nearby Arena parking lot. The engineers were able to quickly repair the tower, making KTVI first to get back on air to warn the surrounding areas of the pending danger, likely saving lives. Dad loved his job, and his time at Romper Room. Sadly, "Mister Glen" passed away at 55 years old, just a year after this last Romper Room episode aired. For my family, this unexpected video snippet is not just a tiny piece of St. Louis television history, but also, quite miraculously, part of some very precious family history, bringing back countless memories of a loving and dedicated father of 6, who shall always be missed. Romper Room brought much pride and joy into our family. Thank you so much for allowing my little tribute. And thank you for this rare video post.
And don't forget he was also the TV spokesman for Krey Packing Company and AAA-St. Louis (I remember a commercial where he was painting a room while eating Krey Sloppy Joes while he, as voiceover, narrated: "Now some people have to have mustard on everything--but THAT'S NOT THE MUSTARD!" The guy painting the room applied wall paint to his hamburger bun!)
