As we continue the transformation from Liliana’s Cottleville to Raphael’s Gathering Place, we’re blown away by the support from our community.
Over the last few weeks, friends, family, guests, and local supporters have already started bringing in incredible pieces of 80s and 90s nostalgia. Yearbooks, cassette tapes, sports memorabilia, movie posters, newspaper clippings, photos, collectibles, and so much more are beginning to find their new home inside RGP.
Every item tells a story, and that’s exactly what Raphael’s Gathering Place is all about—bringing people together through great food, great drinks, and great memories.
We’re still looking for more!
If you have any of the following tucked away in a closet, attic, basement, or storage bin, we’d love to give it a second life:
• High school yearbooks
• Sports memorabilia
• Movie posters and collectibles
• Concert memorabilia
• Cassette tapes, CDs, vinyl records
• Toys and games from the 80s and 90s
• Local St. Louis memorabilia
• Newspaper clippings from memorable moments
• Photos of life in the 80s and 90s
• Anything nostalgic that sparks conversation
The goal is to create an atmosphere where every corner of the restaurant brings back a memory and gives people something to talk about while they gather with friends and family.
Thank you to everyone who has already contributed. Seeing these pieces come through the doors has been incredibly special, and we can’t wait to see what treasures are still out there.
If you’d like to donate an item, stop by and ask for Shawn, Teresa or Faron.
Where friends become family.
Raphael’s Gathering Place – Coming Soon.
