It was (and I hope still is) a great paper anyway - even if they couldn't spell. :-) I looked forward to it every day.

By the way, the picture I saw was Mifflin House.
The Mifflin House photo was presented by MAD ANTHONIE at post #2933. That house was on Overton Street in the Fairmount area just south of Kentucky Road and just a couple blocks or so from where Overton ends near the Missouri River.

Stick around Hazel. When I get to my home computer this evening I'll post another house that you might recognize.

I seldom got that far north and so missed that. Speaking of north, I was once riding around with a local politician who was running for re-election. That wasn't my reason for being with her but I did go along. She traveled northward, stopping here and there to do a bit of campaigning. Eventually, she ended up in Sugar Creek. Thinking she was still in Independence, she continued to stop any passerby and ask for their vote. I was keeping very quiet but, eventually, one of those people told her she wasn't in Independence.

We all have our embarrassing moments.

I'll try but, truth to tell, I am having trouble following. This morning, when I received the first email I've had in a while, it opened up Mifflin House. I just went back to that email and it opened up "Would that be Necessary Road....". I think I know what is happeneing but, if this is all one thread with different topics, shouldn't it always open to the last post?

Ah well. Probably me. I shall never master computers. So, never mind.

Sure is! You notice towards the top and center background of the photo, you can just barely make out the cut made though the bluff for the new Jackson Drive road bed.

We post stuff so fast sometimes that the last post is always moving to something new.

Believe it or not I kept coming back to that intersection and began looking south--I attended church at that little then Methodist church at the end of Holke--and decided several times that road was not it.

This one was taken just a few feet north of the previous shot. I had parked in the church parking lot to take this and others.






This one is looking north at the top[ of the hill, with the church on the right.
Basically, I just spun around from taking the precious shot, to make this one. Off to the far left, is where Holke continued south several hundred feet before turning west.

I guess times do change but when I was living there, there was very little money for street construction even though Noland and 23rd were upgraded but with a struggle. I think both streets needed bond money.

Since Independence has not grown much since the eastern area was taken into the city limits years ago, it looks as though they have adopted a "Build it and they will come" approach.
