Thank you for taking me down memory lane. That’s my Mother, Miss Connie Morris was the Jazz Pianist /Singer there at the Port of St. Louis. I remember her name in Lights as we would pull up. She sitting at the Piano so Beautiful.!! A long line of cars and Yellow Cabs everyone entering looking Fabulous. I had my Birthday celebration there I think I was 6 or 7. I still have the pictures of her there at the Piano.. Thanks again for taking me there… ❤
Enjoyed this. Thank you for having the heart to record history in this way. It is a celebration of an era, a place and the people who were responsible.
I used to play gigs in gaslight Square as I was coming up as a jazz pianist. I loved that neighborhood it got messed up just like the hate Asbury did in San Francisco
My dad had a steakhouse there called "Intermission 13" but it was late in the game. 65 or 66 I think. . My aunt Lois and Uncle Wade owned the Port St Louis and my 2nd cousin had the Kotibuki Japanese restaurant. We had a great time there as kids with our family members and met some cool people there.
My mom and dad used to hang out there, when they were dating. Peanuts Whalum is a cousin of mine. When ever i see anything about gaslight square i smile bcuz it makes me think of my mom who died in 2014. I was able to see the vestiges of it before it was torn down...with my mom as she reminisced. ❤
That's cool you got to see some of the last remains of Gaslight Square. And its also cool you're related to the late Peanuts Whalum. I'm sure you already know but he was interviewed in the Channel 9 Gaslight Square documentary
@@bjrizen2188 Here's the link. It's 25 minutes long but still worth the watch. Peanuts comes in around 4:00. He may have been shown in other parts of the video

Thanks for sharing the memories. Always great to hear from someone who was actually there. Sorry it looks much different now

That's so cool about your family - and that you got to experience Gaslight Square!

@@HistoricallyMarked ... No i didn't know that. Do you know if there is a link for the documentary? Also, Kirk Whalum is apart of the family.

@@HistoricallyMarked ...thank you so much!
Used to spend time at the Exit, just off the Square.
That's one place I never heard of, still that's pretty cool you got to experience the Square!
At :41, that van didn’t exactly stop at the stop sign.
