I was in St. Louis the last week of July-103 degrees the day we arrived. On the days my husband was not doing his train stuff we drove around looking for the houses my grandparents and great grandparents lived in. Couple of the areas were a little scary (5300 block of Cote Brillante and either Lafayette or Shaw) but I didn't see any bars on the windows or doors like one sees when driving in Detroit. Drove pass some really beautiful neighborhoods with large brick homes. Stopped in at the Missouri Historical Society briefly and got copies of an historical map of St. Louis from around 1874 . We visited both of the St. Louis Cathedrals. Absolutely amazing mosiacs in the new one. Went to Grant's farm and Drewes(?) custard shop. Had toasted ravioli at one of the train gatherings and experienced gooey butter cake a couple of times. This time I visited my relatives. Saw one cousin whom I hadn't seen in about 40+ years. Met my mother's last surviving first cousin and her niece. Went to both libraries for brief research-I was not prepared for my research trip this time. Of course, Kathy Smith of the St. Louis Public Library was up here in Michigan at the same time that I was in St. Louis. I do have a question for those who live in St. Louis or have lived there. What is the Moolah (?) Temple? Georgia
