KIMMSWICK, Mo. Mother’s Day is a big deal in the town of Kimmswick, Missouri.
And after a couple years that nearly wiped that Mississippi River town off the map, Kimmswick might be making a comeback. Mayor Phil Stang had to ask for donations last year after flooding and COVID wiped out their annual budget.
The Blue Owl Restaurant is a Kimmswick mainstay.
“This is our apple pie,” said an employee in the kitchen said of the nearly-foot-tall pie. “She only has 18 apples inside of it. This is what Miss Mary is famous for.”
