Senior Prom 1980
Share your memories of this site.
For the CBC Prom night, my boyfriend wanted the night to be extra special. While friends of his were going elsewhere for dining, he decided to treat us to the Top of the Tower, it was called. Wow, what a magical night it was, he in his black bow tie tuxedo and me in my white dress. I imagined it was a marriage night as I was so in love. He ordered oysters on the halfshell and what an experience for a north county girl like me. Having never tried them, he coaxed me for a long while; he even showed me how it's done to swallow them after using the sauce. The whole experience, coupled with the spinning panoramic views of St. Louis, made the night one I've never forgotten. Oh, and I DID get the oysters down, my first and last time! What an iconic experience it has been to have the 'spinning' hotel in our fair city.
