Wonderful and RARE 1904 cabinet card photo of the Great Pike!
It was all happening on the Pike
In 1904, the term “midway” was associated with the Chicago exposition, which ran along the Midway Plaisance. St. Louis opted for a new name, the Pike (source of the expression, ‘coming down the pike’). It ran a full mile along the north side of Lindell Boulevard and made the turn at Skinker Boulevard. Like a carnival midway today, the Pike was filled with attractions designed to entertain the masses while draining their wallets. It was successful on both counts. A 1904 advertisement in the Globe-Democrat highlighted three Pike features. Here’s a sample of what was going on in the nearly mile long concourse. The photo is a very sharp image with two small pin hold on cardboard I do not ship outside the USA
