Sweet highways!! i think they should tear down the rest of the city and build more roads and parking lots... Think about how easy it would be to find a parking space if there weren't all those pesky buildings and neighborhoods?

^^^ Totally...
Sweet pictures, the plaza area sure has changed for the better though! |
Thanks for the photos!! KC has a lot of classic high rises
|
thanks for the pics
I did a lot of research on historic NYC skyscrapers and development for some of my college courses, so I like seeing these types of pics |
What is magical about these historic photographs is not only the way they detail a dense and wonderfully prosperous Kansas City in her prime, but also the fact that the countryside and great plains were easily within reach from the city's vibrant core. Loved it, thank you.

Nice! :D

Man, KC was one sweet little city back in the day. I remember getting of a train from Dallas back in the mid-1950's and spending a morning seeing the sights before boarding another train in the afternoon. Union Station and the view from the tower in the park across the way made huge impression on this little boy.

Bump... it's great history!
|
Usually, I look at new pictures with impatience. Yeah, yeah, yeah, see one new box you've seen 'em all. These old ones are, by contrast, amazing. I linger just to savor the density, the architectural detailing, the whole urban matrix. What a loss....

last two pics are depressing
|
bump!
