Never mind not the St. Louis team I thought it was...

A population of 4000 is a metropolis in that time period, and that's a pretty sweet photo no matter where it came from.

My bad. The population is much higher now, it nearly doubled in 10 years...the 2010 census has them at almost 7,500. Wonder what caused that?

Dan - There were both Level I and Level IV prisons built in the 1990's in St. Louis. One has at least 2400 inmates and the other not quite as many. I assume their data was not included in the 2000 census but was in 2010.

There are only about 350 students in the Grade 9-12 High School in town. The actual population is probably more in the 2500-3000 range. They were in the same conference as my high school back when I played in the 70's.

Former Tiger Jim "Grand Slam" Northrup graduated from St. Louis High. He then attended nearby Alma College where he was a small college All-American QB. I believe he earned 15 varsity letters before signing with Detroit in 1960.

Brad - Please let me know when you list this item on Ebay.

That's interesting. I had not heard of Alma college before, but this is the second time I have seen it this week. I have started to collect the T51 Murad College series and got the Alma card - there are many small schools in the series, and many of them are hunting scenes. Alma is interesting in that it depicts someone shooting a moose in the face, point blank.

A great hunter indeed! Problem is what if he missed?
