WOAH...that picture of the Lewis and Clark Tower. It was taken spitting distance from where my father grew up, in Bissell Hills on the other side of Lewis and Clark Blvd. I remember getting a haircut at the barber shop there when I was very young, i'm not sure if it is still open, since north county is sort of drying up now, my family now lives in St Charles county and the city.
I remember my father telling me that originally, there were supposed to be twin towers, the other one on the other side of the strip mall. The project was put on indefinite hold when funding dried up. The old locals still call it the Lewis and Clark Towers.
