I grew up in Kansas City (90% of people automatically say something like "oh? Kansas?) but I am from the Missouri side. Great video footage of 50s KC. My downtown childhood memories are centered around Emery Bird Thayer's Christmas windows display. In the 60s my Mom and Grandma and I would take the street car from midtown to Downtown and eat at the Woolworth lunch counter. A thrilling outing for a barely teenage kid.

I was only born in 1999 but its amazing to look back at how everything was back then. It makes me feel so young and its crazy how i walk these same streets in downtown. It was so much lively then compared to now (Except for ballpark village corner and during a baseball or hockey night)

I was born in the northern suburbs of Kansas City, MO in 1964. This footage of KC in the 50s is unbelievable! Crowds of pedestrians downtown!! My only memories of going 'south of the river' as a child in the 70s is that was the only time we locked our car doors. I know KC downtown has come back in the last 20 years, but this is amazing! s

Hi Arnold. I grew up in KCMO but lived for a while in Argentine in the 90s. My family was always on the KS side. We describe the division in the same way. It is a shame development of KCK stalled in the 70s (it seems). Now most of the growth there is on the KS side and way south.

how did fashion tastes go down hill so quickly after the 1950's? at least past the 1970's past the disco fashions? because now its nothing but as tasteless as is many new buildings.That back then looked like everything was downtown and people felt safe and were more modest and civilized.
