RALPH'S ANTIQUE DOLLS, PARKVILLE, MISSOURI 1968, By Robert L. Huffstutter

            This photograph  was taken while I was writing an article on local business owners in Parkville, Missouri. Parkville is a river town, on the Missouri river, pictureque with some fine restaurants, cafes and bars. There is a brewery on Main Street that attracts hundreds of Conservative beer drinkers over the weekends. 

The various antique shops and galleries attract tourists from the surrounding area. Parkville is the perfect town for those contemplating a day trip in any season. Autumn is probably the season that attracts most people to Parkville; the leaves are beautiful, the air crisp and full of the aromas of the barbeques and cafes. 

There is a river walk that will afford joggers and walkers plenty of exercise on a black-topped path. Until recently, the park was open all night. Back in the 90s, my dog and I often spent the entire nights in summer just being by the river, listening to the flow of the current. I would sleep for awhile while Moby, my German Shepherd was on watch, then I would take my turn. We were united by a wrist-band and leash. We never had any problems, just fun and exercise. So, enough about Parkville. If you get a chance, take a day trip and step back into time for a day.
