On Broadway a few years ago...by David R.


Jimmy Greenspon used to call himself "The Mayor of Broadway" - his family for three generations owned a women's clothing store at the corner of 8th & Broadway (where the grey stucco lawyer's office is now located, on the southeast corner.) He never really loved running the business. His degree was in journalism from, you guessed it, the Missouri School of Journalism. He died about four years ago - too young.
(from a scanned tearsheet - this was from the Our Town series, portraits of Columbia.)
