When dear Dad would take the family to Famous Barr Dept Store for shopping we would drive by Natural Bridge & Union Blvd where the Corvette Assembly Plant was. I could see the new Vette's parked in a back lot waiting to be loaded on car haulers to be delivered. Great memories. Dad said the old St Louis Browns baseball stadium use to be across the street from Corvette Plant. I was told by a man in church that the Corvette Plant had the highest number of UAW union grievances filed out of of all the GM plants. That was "supposedly" one of the reasons that influenced GM to move plant to Bowling Green and Wentzville.
