Paris of the Plains: ‘Shangri-la’ on the corner
The long, strange trip of the Wisconsin Building
From Chicago to Kansas City to oblivion
Paris of the Plains: The place beneath
Eighty years ago desperation led into the woods
A cold rain and a child with no name
Paris of the Plains: Realities beyond Petticoat Lane
From Domeliners to an 'Atomic Powered Singer'
What to do when the 'new' challenges the 'old'
Paris of the Plains: In the valley of the Missouri
Down by the river, pondering Progress
Paddle upstream or go with the flow?
Paris of the Plains: Beauty and the billboard
Protecting property values in the spring of 1924
Guerilla gardening vs. private enterprise
Paris of the Plains: On vacation, out of position
Destiny for a ‘Team of Destiny’ star
Sports, music and death at the Muehlebach
Paris of the Plains: Waiting near the Robert E. Lee

From the Gettysburg Address to oblivion

A postcard and a Monday afternoon in 1941
The possibilities and certainties of a March outing
Paris of the Plains: Rock of the Gibraltar
Watching for spirits on a downtown parking lot
Old Louie, hotel dogs, the mayor and a Blue Goose
Paris of the Plains: A key to forgotten troubles
Unlocked, a locksmith enters wedlock
Bloodshed, love and a fresh start
Paris of the Plains: Blackface and a blue chair
A place for acrobats, elephants and small, confused children
A vaudeville theater for the masses, including Junior
Paris of the Plains: Poised between seasons
Looking past a new ballpark toward whatever lies ahead
From wool coats and basketball to lawn mowers and Opening Day

When men in overalls took down a Kansas City treasure
Dismantling the center of the city’s bon ton social life
Paris of the Plains: Devils and dancing girls
A postcard and a Saturday night in 1929
Why worry about personal devils when there's this much fun and dancing to be had?
