The St. Louis Walk of Fame has now extended east of Skinker into the City of St. Louis.
This summer there are three new stars on the 6100 block of Delmar. Max Starkloff, whose “advocacy secured legislation for public improvements like curb cuts, disabled parking, and the passage of the landmark “Americans with Disabilities Act” in 1990.” Starkloff has made a difference in the lives of countless disabled across the country, founding Paraquad in his home city of St. Louis. Cedric “the Entertainer” Kyles, who grew up in St. Louis and graduated from Berkley High School, displayed his unique and award-winning wit at the induction ceremony. And Bob Pettet, famed St. Louis Hawks basketball star, “named one of the 50 greatest players in NBA history” will be inducted later this year.
There are now 116 stars on our St. Louis Walk of Fame, initiated by Joe Edwards.
