T h e T I M E S h a s o f t e n featured personal memories of the early days of the neighborhood.
In early 2000, we announced the formation of a neighborhood archive, and the wonderful contributions of many neighbors resulted in our neighborhood centennial project, the publishing in 2008 of a book, CELEBRATING S K I N K E R – D E B A L I V I E R E , HISTORY AND COMEBACK.
It is still very much available, at the Missouri History Museum shop or by direct purchase from the TIMES website. Since then, we have received many more memories, and we’ve begun a more focused research project in cooperation with the Great Rivers G r e e n w a y organization, to highlight the unique history of the DeBaliviere Strip. We’ve already made some amazing finds, and we can’t wait to share them with our readers. Recently, Anne Reis Voss, who grew up just north of Delmar and DeBaliviere and who still lives nearby on Windemere Place, sent us some great photos and memories of growing up on DeBaliviere.
There are many stories to come! And soon, we will be assembling other pieces of the history puzzle on our TIMES website. Send me your stories and photos at jvatcha@ sdtimes.org or by dropping by at the SDCC office, 6008 Kingsbury.
