The Budweiser II, built by Anheuser Busch, was proudly on display at Cafe Bologna, Grotto & Sculpture Garden, located just behind The Purple Cow at 2010 Cherokee Street, St. Louis MO. Available at Cafe Bologna were sandwich combos including ice cold drinks. Bologna served on Wonder Bread, either cold or even better fried. Jaspers Radio Museum located just up the street from the Purple Cow held its first liquidation sale ever in the 70 plus years of collecting. 100’s of buyers swarmed the museum early Saturday morning to purchase antique and collectible items of every description. Legendary Artist and Sign Painter Lonnie Tettaton was also liquidating his famous collection of sign painting books and some of his original art work.
