I had my first job and my first apartment in Kansas City, way back when - the apartment was on North Main, when it was a little more "residential" in feel than I suspect it is now.<br /><br />Did you know that the fellow who wrote "Going to Kansas City" eventually wrote a song called "Leaving Kansas City" just before he left for New York? True story.<br /><br />And I have to ask - did you get to the Jewel Box over on Troost? I suspect not. ;-) A couple of the fellows who lived above me in that first apartment worked there. It took me a long, long time to figure that out - but they were great neighbors!shoreacreshttp://shoreacres.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5681875145919050501.post-49591223398845979572011-10-23T07:17:31.038-04:002011-10-23T07:17:31.038-04:00Oh, this was fun--and such wonderful photos!

It brought back so many great memories for me. I have relatives in Kansas City and when I was a child, we often went by train into that beautiful station. When I was in college at Northwestern in the Chicago area, I would take the train again to spend Spring Break with my Kansas relatives and pass through that station. I'm so happy to see that it's so well-preserved and has multiple uses. And I'm glad you so enjoyed your conference!Dr. Kathy McCoyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02903015507894951725noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5681875145919050501.post-46434341205537074752011-10-20T18:32:09.030-04:002011-10-20T18:32:09.030-04:00You make me want to visit Kansas City!

He gave me a big hug, and here in my office I have a big photo of the two of us. Some day I hope to go to the Negro Leagues museum, and now I'll add the jazz museum to that list!Nancy/BLissed-Out Grandmahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17223278142557533175noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5681875145919050501.post-26568650893510882482011-10-20T13:35:08.605-04:002011-10-20T13:35:08.605-04:00oooh!
