The hotel was right there near University City and near Big Bend
Blvd,Big Bend Blvd runs South.(South is always best)There used to be a
gas station at the corner of Delmar and Big Bend.I joined the U.S.Army
on October 28,1962 and when I finished boot camp at Fort
Gordon,Georgia,I was in ARADCOM,U.S.Army Air Defense Command at Scott
Airforce Base,Illinois and at SL-60 (Nike Hercules Ajax Missile Base)
near Pacific,Missouri from January 1963 through October 1963.Back in
those days/years,that part of Delmar Blvd was in a run down
neighborhood.I used to have a girlfriend who lived in
Kirkwood,Missouri.I haven't been in the St.Louis area since October 1963
so I have no idea of what that neighborhood looks like nowdays.I do know
since then,many old buildings in St.Lous have been torn down and
replaced with new buildings.
