High School Renewal

Built in 1914, Northeast High School is receiving all new windows and is-finally-being air conditioned. 

Museum in Summer Finery

1.  The Kansas City Museum flower beds and grounds look lovely again this year.    

Richardson-Graham Bridge, Northeast Kansas City

Richardson-Graham Memorial Bridge  ( also still called Anderson Bridge ). Built in 1897 it never had a formal name.  Five years ago the Park Board voted to name it for Dr. Katherine Berry Richardson, a surgeon, and Dr. Alice Berry Graham, a dentist.  The same year the bridge was built the Doctors founded Children's Mercy Hospital; their first beds were on the third floor of their home on North Clinton Place at Windsor.   The home still stands and is in fine shape.

Late Afternoon, North Terrace Lake

Along the Cliff Drive Scenic Byway yesterday afternoon.   Chestnut Trafficway is on the right.  Taken from the Lexington Avenue Bridge.

Cottonwoods

                    Two grand old trees up by the old city Reservoir along Cliff Drive in Kessler Park.

The Whole Nine Yards

 Another nice thing about Historic Northeast is the beauty that home owners create on their own.

Stationed myself on the west side of the Kansas City Museum Sunday afternoon and set the camera to do interval shooting.  One shot every 15 seconds.  Ended up with 697 shots which I merged into one video in Final Cut Pro X.  A little over two hours are covered.  I stopped when the rain started :)   The Kansas City downtown skyline is visible in the distance.
