Today the intersection is better known as Lindbergh Boulevard and Clayton Road ( next to the Interstate 64. The motel also was known as the Smith Bros.

How interesting, that location is actually just north of our dealership; we are on S. Lindbergh. What an amazing postcard!

My name is David Block. My father was Al Block. He and Les Nieman bought the old Smith bros. Motel and renamed it King Bros.On a previous web page there is a color picture of King Bros. with a white 1957 Cadillac parked out front. That was my father's car. My nickname for him was'Cadillac Al' and I rode in that car remembering it well. There are several intersting stories about my dad's and my old hangout.If interested, my e-mail is kingbluesmusicco@aol.com.
The name of my musicco is after king bros.
