What are the facts and truth about why the trains in St. Louis are on the southern portion of the city? Do you know the history of the portion of St. Louis which used to be called cow "manure" hill? The history of any city is more than just people, places, and dates. It is a smorgasbord of many different cultures who value and nurture their own identity while interweaving among the populace to create the larger identity of being a citizen of a city; in this case St. Louis. In her latest book "This Used To Be ST. LOUIS" author and historian Nini Harris takes us on a journey of discovery. http://www.niniharris.com/ https://www.facebook.com/NiNiStLouis?fref=ts

In the July, 1916, edition of **[The Electrical Workers](http://www.ibew.org/Journals/scans/The%20Journal%20of%20Electrical%20Workers%20and%20Operators/1916-11%20November%20Electrical%20Worker.pdf)**' journal, our first Grand Secretary-Treasurer, J.T. Kelly, then Press Secretary for IBEW Local 1, gives us a glimpse into our founding convention with his Local Lines entry (page 245), "The meetings were held in a room on Franklin Avenue near Leffenwell.
