Just tune her up and she'll be good to go for a few more concerts! Oh, and some dusting as well. ;-)

Well, I'm a bit late but am sure this gallery will not disappoint!

I fell in love with this image. I am a huge train lover and what a find this is. Thank you for sharing.

Oh wow, nice birdie......glad you didn't have it come after you.

I have a similar photograph I took at a train station. Love stuff like this!

unfortunately the scrapers got to the coke ovens. I was there in October 2015. Most of the steel work from the coke ovens are gone. The concrete towers are still there and the refractory core of the coke ovens and a smoke stack. The "coal tipple" is still there and being used, the lights were still on and a couple vehicles were parked there. I stayed away from that area. I think they closed the coke operation in like the year 2000.

Ohhh YES, good job! Looking so fine pistachio-green. And window not boarded up; still with glass. Just sweep the floor, and anybody could move in right away. To live in room three...eight.

Yes...as a former Mission Hill Resident now living thousands of miles from my old neighborhood...I can only say nice to see...and thank you

Yes -
and all can think of is how cleverly this is made.

I would like to hear from sandy w from ward d The Chinese girl that was there 82 to 84. The last time I saw her was in Lowell mass and she was with sean green if anybody knows them let me know I will check this page about every other day thanks

People should write more on this more often. I never hear from anybody anymore?

HI Ken when I was there in 82 to 84 I don't recall any sexual abuse going on there. Im sorry to hear that bro. I knew all the staff that worked there and I was friends with most of them. They did have a difficult job . I wanted to ask you how you came about of getting documentation of being there? I would like to look into that. Thanks IF anybodyelse has any answers I would like to know.

I do remember renee She was a very quiet person and kept to herself. Never have that fear anymore. Times have changed now . The people who love and care for you will give you the support to cope with everydays tasks. Somedays are better than others but you are right we never forget the past. We just cant re live it hun.

Where at in Kansas City is this?

A message board would be lit up for night reading instead of lighting the whole room or hallway it was in to the brightness necessary for reading. In the time before cell leashes people used to track their own activities and were responsible for finding out on their own and to remember it, when they had to show up for this or that as well as to find out about activities outside of work or other opportunities. In the convent this would probably be where the Mother Superior posted notices and changes in policy or schedule that the nuns or students needed to be aware of.
