Editorial Reviews
Many famous people, past and present, have ties to St. Louis. With that in mind, authors Charlie Brennan, Bridget Garwitz, and Joe Lattal have written an informational guidebook about this midwestern city.
Here's Where uses anecdotes and interesting facts to explore well-known as well as little-known St. Louis connections. Eleven easy-to-read neighborhood maps with coded symbols help the reader differentiate between existing and no-longer-existing sites. Locals and visitors alike can pick a favorite famous person and find the related landmark--where bombshell Betty Grable, poet Maya Angelou, or music legend Chuck Berry was born, or where Hall of Fame catcher Yogi Berra sold newspapers as a boy. Literary fans will enjoy locating the apartment and the shoe factory where Tennessee Williams got inspiration for such works as The Glass Menagerie and A Streetcar Named Desire.
Other notable entries include significant people from the past, such as Mark Twain, T. S. Eliot, and President Harry S. Truman, as well as big names from more recent times, including Tiger Woods, Regis Philbin, Sheryl Crow, Bob Costas, and Ronald Reagan. The entries are organized alphabetically; an appendix cross-references the entries by category (movies and television, sports, literature, political figures, etc.).
