I am thinking the city of Independence in the sixties believed they needed a first rate regional small plane jet airport to be uptown so to speak.

I think they stuck with this notion for a number of years and within the last few years I think they had an eye on an area south of the Missouri River and north of US 24 for an airport but I think they have since dropped any notion.

Make that east of its original location.

Any estimate on when you were riding past her store and when she might have closed up? I was driving a red Ford when I stopped in there so that would have had to be the summer of '58. By the summer of '59 I was driving a green Ford.


What happened to the segment of Selsa south of 39th?

It looks like Selsa north of 39th has been rerouted to intersect 39th Street west of its original location. The part south of 39th may now be part of the Little Blue Parkway.
The old bridge in my photo is where the current Little Blue Parkway crosses the Little Blue River. Selsa was rebuilt and renamed. The only old portion remaining runs south from RD Mize to the RR.

The store was still open in the mid 70s. My dad built some of the houses in Bryn-Mawr. My brother and I did painting for him and we would go to that store for snacks.

Looks like the old Watson place on the hill, on the north side of Truman Road , just east of Lee's Summit Road.

Right you are, although I have another name for it.



That didn't take nearly long enough. Somebody else's turn.

Hmmmm, 1892. I assume that's when the house was built, NOT when you took the photo?! That's the first real shot of it, that I've seen. Do you have any more? I had heard and/or read, that a family named Watson owned it, or were previous owners of the property.

I don't have any other shots, and at the moment can't remember where I got the Brookside Farm name. Looking at my 1877 Jackson County map it show that land to belong to either W. L. Lacy or J. N. Southran. Perhaps later it will come back to me where I got what I had.

Today's mystery photo should be an extremely tough one!
