A Familiar Sight
This scene has been recorded countless times, but I never grow tired of seeing it. Taken from the Liberty Memorial.

Thacher School 1897 - More Needless Demo
The only part of Thacher that is structurally questionable is the northern wing (1914) that burned... I'm not even convinced that it is dangerous. Please note that the boarding up of the building occurred AFTER the fire. Also note that a chain with a lock on a door isn't going to keep anyone out these days. Incomplete securing of the structure has led to the fire and vandalism which the District now claims is the reason for the needed demolition. It's a little like cutting your own hand off and then
applying for disability.
Tomorrow I'll post some interior pictures taken in 1993; the last time the District wanted to demolish it.
This portion, the south, was constructed in 1897 and opened in 1898.
Almost finished the boarding up job. Maybe they ran out of wood.
Too bad negligent treatment of a cultural asset isn't a crime..... it is elsewhere... see Europe.

This building is part of Film Row in the Crossroads Art District. We only have one of these, we have
tons of ugly parking garages.

A Tale of Two Bridges
The new Redbridge Bridge art installations were dedicated Friday. Top photo the old Redbridge in the foreground, the new Redbridge in the background. Above, all along the bridge are images of pioneer leaders of early Kansas City.
There are also cut-outs that extend from the bridge with information on the area and surroundings with great views.
Above, the old bridge from above... it's been totally rehabbed and is now part of a walking trail... no vehicles allowed...
On hand for the art reveal were Councilman Scott Taylor, Councilman John Sharp, three re-enactors, and Mark McHenry Director of Kansas City Parks and Recreation.
Mr. McHenry surrounded by guests from the Hillcrest Community Center who attended the presentation.
