One such person who expressed his feelings about Louie's was Wade Gibson, a well-known Alton hairstylist, who lives in Kampsville. Gibson was appropriate to converse with about it because he once was Kampsville's mayor.
“This saddens me to see another chapter come to an end in Kampsville, the town I have so much passion for, however when one chapter comes to end, it's time to start a new one," he said. "Such great memories we have for Louie’s."
