If you should feel an urge for a pastry or possibly a cake and you wind up in a particular Frame of Mind, well… I’d have to guess you’re channeling something. Because you will be in the right location but 90 years or so too late.
These photos were scanned from slides in the collection of the Maplewood Public Library. They were collected by the now defunct Renaissance Society for the 75th anniversary of our town in 1983. There either was not much info with these images or equally likely I forgot to copy it along with them while researching our community history book, “the First one hundred years, Maplewood, MO.” (I curse the cover designer every time I have to type that title) in 2008. I believe the Chamber (2915 Sutton, 314-781-8588) still has a few copies of the book for around 20 bucks each.
