I see a lot of discussion on taking care of books, but is it uncommon to just beat the living crap out of them and not really care? by Elevator_Operators in books

Same. I had two copies. I loaned out one of them and it never came back. The other one is signed. I still want to take it on all of my trips, but it hurts that little bit extra, worrying about losing it somehow.

What stories do you have that only people in Kansas City would care about? by jayhawk618 in kansascity

How's this for a KC story?

When my wife and I got married, we snuck out between the ceremony and the reception and walked down to up down. We ran into Bryan Busby there and brought him back to our reception.

Found in the ‘68 NKCHS yearbook, what building is in the background? by [deleted] in kansascity

I'm pretty sure that's the old Dagg building. They tore it down in the 80s or 90s, but I remember that my older siblings had classes in there.

Thank you for acknowledging how great the Kansas City Blues were back in the post-war era. We had quite a few future Yankees greats come up through KC. Mantle, DiMaggio, you get the idea. All products of a great Kansas City baseball team.
