"In October, 1939, one could, if so inclined, do any of the following: dine at the Canary Cottage, meet a friend over a nickel coke at the Phoenix Drug, catch a train to anyplace at the Union Station, take in a ball game at Stoll Field, or go dancing at Joyland. You could also attend Worship service at First Christian Church. Only the last named activity is still possible, as all of these other institutions have long since vanished. 50 years from now it will still be possible to attend services at First Church."  October 29, 1989, Walter Johnston
