Saint Louis Seen and UnseenMichael Kilfoy

     Saint Louis Seen & Unseen is a visual "portrait" of our city through the eyes of some of the city's finest--known and unknown--photographers. The quality hardcover book features full color photos throughout, encompassing the rich fabric of our river city.  It illustrates the city's best-known landmarks, its signature events, rich history, diverse lifestyles and behind-the scenes surprises.  Award-winning photo editor Michael Kilfoy assembled a collage of more than 200 stunning images from dozens of photographers and literally thousands original photos.  It is the city's first such book in more than ten years, and it is a perfect gift for visitors, residents and those interested in how our city really looks.

     Greg Rhomberg and his Antique Warehouse are proudly featured in this book. A beautiful shot inside the Warehouse, with Greg admiring his collection, captured by James McKenzie. In the image are a number of items including the ladder section of our 48' Fire Engine, Grants Farm Tram, Carousel, Jukebox, Pinball machines, Traveleer Trailer and a number of Neon Signs. Also on a separate page of the book is our French Village Drive-In Sign, which was obtained earlier this in the year, by our Recovery Team.
