Walking The Point

 Once a Summer I like to walk the area called Scarritt Point in Kessler Park... the journey starts with my favorite home-grown castle - the William Wallace Home - c1888.

                  Above, looking west, below, the southwest corner of the Wallace Home. 

                          Above, the west side of the house, below, looking west from the home. 

                                                            Overlooking the East Bottoms. 

                                          Above and below, the observation area looking south.

                         Above, looking south ... the roof of the Colonnade (1908)  is in the center.

Walking Through The Cemetery - Elmwood 1872

                                            You walk amongst thousands, yet not a sound. 

Elmwood Cemetery in Northeast Kansas City.  Consecrated in 1872.  This Saturday (4/22/23) is a      day for volunteers to help clean up the cemetery.  Elmwood Cemetery Society:             https://elmwoodcemeterykc.org                   

The Glow Of Christmas Eve

 Scarritt Renaissance Neighborhood Association members placed luminaries around Concourse Park on Christmas Eve.   Very lovely with the fog.

 Above and below, the start of the 5K race.  Approximately 900 runners and walkers took part this year.  The race is presented by the Kansas City Track Club and is a benefit for Northeast Neighbor to Neighbor  (  nnncares.org  ) a Northeast organization for healthcare outreach.

 Participants were treated to pancakes and eggs after the race in the Education Pavilion of KCUMB.

 Leslie Collins, President of the Board of Northeast Neighbor to Neighbor presented a gift tray to Nancy English the Race Director and below Nancy presented Leslie with a check for over $9,000... the funds raised from the race.   Come to think of it, I haven't seen Leslie since.
