“Roll ‘em up!”
I had the most awesome childhood in O’Fallon, Illinois(home of Scott AFB).
Even though it is right close to St.Louis, there was next to no black people there in the mid 70s.
Such great memories of my dad taking us to the old Busch stadium to watch the Cardinals.
I saw Mad Al Hrabsky, a very young Keith Hernandez, Lou Brock, Ted Simmons, Bake McBride, etc.
One of our favorite hangouts as kids was in the houses that were being built. It’s also where we got the wood for our forts.
The 2019 population for O’Fallon is now 29,000. In the near future, I’m going back to relive the good old days.
