The End Of An Era

 In 1954 Bill and Andy Mortallaro's father bought the Askew Inn from his Uncle.  It's been in continuous operation ever since.... until now.    The brothers retired this week.   They certainly have earned it, but will surely be missed.   A great neighborhood bar in Northeast Kansas City. 

   Bill and Tish Mortallaro and their children.... Joe, Megan, Rachelle, Nick, and Joanna. 

            

Andy and his Daughter Jenna. 

Summer Sun On The City

Forest Hill

 Forest Hill Cemetery is located at 71st and Troost.  Established in 1888, the land is notable for the location of another Civil War Battle Field as the Confederate troops fled south from Westport.

                                              Hyperblogal has family here in several locations.

 Many famous Kansas City residents  are buried here including Satchel Paige, below.
