It is in St. Louis. About 15 minutes from Downtown by way of I-44 east if you are familiar with the area.
Got it.
I'm not familiar with the area.
I live in Sacramento California.
Most people won't get the reference......hehehe
Love Walken! "hey look... i put my pants on just like you guys in the morning. The only difference is... after I put my pants on... I make gold records!"
The reference is the Kings fans and the cowbells they bring to the games. Phil Jackson, during the heated playoff battles between the Lakers and Kings once called Sacramento a "cow town" and the fans turned it into a rallying cry. It got loud at the games and even Phil got a smile out of the whole thing.
At one point I think they banned them because of the noise. I'm not sure.
I was a resident(?) of Webster Groves Children Center (orphanage) from the age of 6 until I was 12. All I really remember of it was the roaches. When you pulled down the covers on your bed you could see them run. Not good memories.Rambitious1 wondering about Webster Groves:

There is a lot more to that story. I liked your post not the fact you were in an orphanage. I spent a couple years in a Boys home and I am not comparing it to an orphanage, but wanted to empathize with you. I am very grateful for my time and what I learned in that environment.I was a resident(?) of Webster Groves Children Center (orphanage) from the age of 6 until I was 12.

Nothing good comes from dwelling on any of the negatives from your past. But...while wracking my brain to come up with something good to say about the place there's this: Every Monday during the summer, the orphanage packed up all the children who were interested and took them to the St. Louis Municipal Opera. We saw operas like "Oklahoma". That was very enjoyable.rdlkgliders with a huge understatement:
