3/4 Second, a young man sits at the recently abandoned Municipal Stadium, looking over his shoulder in quiet reflection. An echo of this photo could be taken in a few years when the TSC is closed.

2/4 First a group of boys playing at a park designed by Cal Eldred and Elpidio Rocha used to exist at 27th & Madison on the Westside. It was demolished to make way for I-35. A print of this photo should be at every Reconnectting the Westside meeting as an example of what was lost and what could be.

1/4 The @kclibrary.bsky.social's new archive of @kansascity.com Star photos is fantastic. Here are two of my favorites that touch on current events in KCMO... (links and photographers in 4/4)

Happy first anniversary to our KC-1940 website! 🎉 In 1940, more than 50,000 images of Kansas City structures were photographed and assembled as the 1940 Tax Assessment Photograph Collection. View buildings, homes, stores, shops, banks, schools, and parks through a 1940s lens at kc1940.org (1/2)

my mom doesn’t like scary movies and has been trying to psych herself up for this one for months

I am 40 or 50 years old and I don’t need this

this could be us but instead of theater seats it's my couch and we're watching the last waltz

time to get back to fancasting a remake of the last waltz: jacob elordi is rick danko michael cera is van morrison haley joel osment is garth hudson

my spreadsheets are beautiful beyond romance

my hair has been annoying me lately & my haircut appointment is still a month off, so: i'll never love anyone as much as i love the girl who came up to me at the beths show tonight to tell me how much she loved my haircut and that she's praying her short hair grows out the same way

@gumbylievable.bsky.social what a world

the night of the hunter doesn't get enough credit for being wildly funny

seventeen days until i can watch the last waltz again

i sold my ticket to today's game because i don't have the emotional wherewithal for this right now

the full moon is a perfect time to reflect on how great the moon is and all the things the moon has done for your life.

KC friends & folks who like to build progressive momentum: It’s time to donate to @rah.bsky.social!

i'm a keeper of town lore who works in the basement of the library but goes home at night
