Seek Mechanical Music in St. Louis, Missouri
By Monica Jones

As we are about to spend a week at home with assorted parents,
nieces, and nephews, we thought we might get to expose them to the
fun of nickelodeons and other, as someone put it, "nickel grabbers".

A Google search turned up nothing in the St. Louis area, and the only
thing I remember from my childhood is a restaurant we went to once.  It
had a huge organ (it must have been a theater organ of some type) with
drums and pipes and all manner of wonders that encircled the dining
room.  I think it closed a long time ago, but I'd love to know what its
name was or if it or the organ still exists!

Hoping the knowledge of the list can help me find what I'm looking for,

Monica Jones
