Description

This class will learn about what went on in the 1950s and 1960s. Instructor Johnny Rabbitt hopes you’ll be up for some serious back-in-time travel, plus he’ll bring along a special guest. You’ll get the inside stories of Gaslight Square’s birth, life, and death. We’ll look around downtown before the Arch was constructed, refresh with Pinky Pevely, Velvet Freeze and 3V cola—of which the 3 Vs stood for vim, vigor, and vitality. Hear the story of KXOK Radio Park and when the Globe-Democrat was the morning paper. We had the Star-Times and the Post-Dispatch fighting it out in the afternoon! Shopping at Crestwood Plaza —”where the big stores are!” and the Wellston loop. Household radio and TV stars included Jack & Jerry, Prince Knight, Spider Burks, and Charlotte Peters. This is going to be good!
