Spring Fever Baseball Edition - Stan Musial and Biggie's Restaurants

Stumbled upon an advertisement for "Stan and Biggie's" restaurant in a 1958 St. Louis Post-Dispatch. I had to find out where this place was and learned a little more about Stan Musial, who lived in a modest ranch in St. Louis Hills. A true legend, a real St. Louis citizen for many years. Go Cards!

Kings Oak Neighborhood

Kings Oak is a highly visible neighborhood, as it can be seen just south of I-64, across from Forest Park's baseball fields and horse stables; and it's eastern border is visible on the heavily travelled Kingshighway Blvd.  Several easily recognizable institutions (St. Louis University High, St. Louis Science Center and Compton Drew Investigative Learning School) anchor the neighborhood.
