Missouri’s first food truck garden, 9 Mile Garden in Affton, officially opened to the public July 3 after a long-anticipated wait. St. Louis County Executive Sam Page and 6th District County Councilman Ernie Trakas, R-Oakville, attended a ribbon-cutting event at the garden July 9 to commemorate its opening, which includes drafthouse The Canteen @ 9 Mile Garden.
However, only a few short weeks after its official opening, 9 Mile Garden and The Canteen decided to temporarily close their doors after dinner service July 30 after Page imposed business capacity restrictions to 25 percent to stem the escalating number of coronavirus infections in the region.
