Maplewood American Legion Post 103 Officially Reopens

The veterans cut the ribbon in front of their post on Saturday.

Maplewood's has reopened, and on Saturday, mayor James White was there to make it official.

A group of veterans helped Post Commander Ray Birmingham cut the ribbon.

Birmingham said they still have a lot of work to do, and the group will have raffles and barbeques to raise funds.

"It's amazing how many people have been helping out and calling in with their support," he said.

He said the group has 50 members, and said it's also currently open to the public Wednesday through Sunday.

The building has two pool tables, two dart boards and two horse shoe pits. Leagues in darts and horse shoes will start soon. There's also live music.

The Maplewood American Legion hall opened in 1920. It was originally called the Shaw Stevens Post, named after two Maplewood men killed in action in World War I.

I was talking to a couple of the gentleman after the ribbon cutting ceremony and it was really amazing how quite a few members of the Maplewood business community came together behind the scenes to support the veterans and make the reopening possible.

I was just thinking, if you happen to see something.....like the sign in front of City Hall, or theRead More sign in Schnuck's parking lot....regarding something going on in Brentwood, now you can click on the "Post" board at the top of the page, and let people know what is happening in Brentwood. We have the new format so we can now post whatever we want. Just click and post. Anyone can do it too.

I doubt this discrepancy you think exists is because the editors have more of a connection toRead More Maplewood. I imagine it is because Maplewood officials and Chamber of Commerce members send press releases to the editors regarding upcoming events and news items. If you want your local community to have more of a presence in the Patch, I suggest you contact the proper officials in Brentwood and urge them to send such notices. Self-promotion for a community is a good thing, although in the case of Brentwood Days and other iconic Brentwood events, it was my understanding that the city didn't want it publicized and preferred it to be a smaller event.
