ST LOUIS- Playboy Magazine made news this week when it was announced the iconic publication would soon stop printing pictures of nude women.
Playboy and St. Louis have a connection many are not aware of--a connection still visible to this day!
From the KSDK film vault:
Click on the video below to see reporter Chris Condon interview the St. Louis Playboy Club "Bachelor of the Year" for 1965, Duane Christenson.
In the clip, Christenson is asked about his impressive wardrobe.
"I counted my summer suits and I have 24 of them," Christenson says.
How do you find a use for all of those summer suits?
"I'm very active in business, so you really need a good wardrobe for business," Christenson answers. "It's not strictly for dating, believe me."
The St. Louis Playboy club opened in 1962 on Lindell Boulevard just west of Vandeventer.
The club closed in the 1970's.
On the tiles outside, you can still make out the famous bunny ear logo on some portions of the concrete.
