[Kevin Keating · Rating 4 out of 5]

It was a good book, if not a little depressing. Seems a little dated now, since most of the "today" is from 2000. And Kansas City seems to have lost so much of its character. I'll find out when I go there fora week, which is why I read the book. Just a shame that so many great old buildings are now parking lots or 70's trash architecture.

Interesting book comparing Kansas city in old photos to present day and far more boring situation.
