THIS AND THAT
By Bob Reiss, From the Re-Echo, Summer 2003

When the St. Louis Park High School was located in what is now the Central Community Center on Highway 7, the water tower at 36th and Brunswick was always a challenge. Just about every year, somebody (or bodies) climbed to the top and painted some famous words. Of course then nobody stepped forward to take the blame (or credit?). Who were these mysterious souls? Please step forward. Who climbed with you? What year? What brilliant world did you leave for the world to see?


The teachers that taught at Lenox its first years in the early 1930s were Lois Greip, Evelyn Heindrich, Mrs. Buxton, and Greta Northey.


Were the founding offices of the National Car Rental agency originally located in St. Louis Park before they moved to Edina?
