St. Louis Zoo '68

The St. Louis Zoo is one of my favorite places in the entire world, and it's definitely one of the greatest, most gorgeously designed and meticulously maintained zoos too (I've been to enough of them from coast to coast in the USA to know!) And this year, the STL Zoo celebrates it's amazing 100th Anniversary (1910 - 2010), so what better way is there for me than to tip my hat by blogging about it with highlights from the St. Louis Zoo Album guide published in 1968, (aka: the year I was born.) I'll spare you the bulk of the usual A to Z animal photos, and instead focus on the AEET type fun stuff like the animal show, the train, the map, some fabulous 1904 World's Fair architecture, and of course everyone's favorite mounted gorilla-- "Phil."
