Warwick Avenue is a short little street in between Euclid and North Kingshighway just north of MLK, and just south of Cupples School.
But it’s an interesting street of houses built right after World War II, with nice bungalows that you typically see in St. Louis Hills.
I wonder why this land was available. Maybe something else had been there but was torn down? Or maybe it had never been developed? My dad remembered when there was still farmland in South St. Louis, in the vicinity of St Louis Hills.
I lived at 1900 N Euclid Ave, a few blocks north of Warwick Ave and attended Cupples School from 1962 to 1968. Warwick Ave was considered one of the “high end” streets in the neighborhood with the nicer bungalow homes during that time. One of my best childhood friends lived on Warwick Ave. My mother and I were members of Greater Mt. Carmel Baptist Church on the corner of Euclid and Warwick Avenues. Back in 1962 on the corner of Warwick Ave and N Kingshighway Blvd once stood a radio station.
KXOK was the radio station that once stood there. It was the radio station in the 1960’s that featured Johnny Rabbit.
Oh, interesting! I’ll have to ask him about it.
Oh wow, thank you so much for the memories!
