Red Hot Mamas

Historic photos of just a few of Maplewood's Red Hot Mamas

As I write these words it is still Mothers Day but just barely.  I am among the very fortunate in that I was able once again to celebrate this day with my Mother. So this week I'd like to post just a few photos of the very many fine women who once lived here in Maplewood and contributed their efforts to making this community and country a stable and safe place to live for so many years.

In a nod to the holiday these photos are of women who were mothers. But my hat is also off to all of the women who for whatever reasons had no children and about whom we have little information.

As for the title of this post, I really have no idea whether or not these Mamas were red hot but it got your attention, didn't it?

Thank you, Doug Houser, for this article, and for the lovely pictures of some of Maplewood's earlier women who helped to establish our community. And I owe them a "Thanks" also for paving the way!

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.
