Went to Kansas City last weekend for a shower on my granddaughter who is expecting a little baby boy on my 83rd birthday this summer! The shower was held in a very luxurious condo overlooking the Plaza -- a wonderful, upscale shopping area in KC that is really old. The new daddy's mom housesits for the folks that own the condo and can entertain there with their blessing.
This was written in Augustof 1946 in Kansas and it can be soooooo hot there - we lived in the area for 13 years.
We have been there during the Christmas season and it is gorgeous to look out the windows and see all the beautiful lighting which is so traditional there. Each Thanksgiving evening, the lights are turned on and it is quite the spectacle.

At first glance, I'd have said the night view was of the Corn Palace, but that's in a different state altogether!

ReplyDeleteThat looks a great light show, I do love it when all the lights come on, brightens up the early winter.
ReplyDeleteAt first site I thought of Harrod's in London at night. Kansas? Never would have imagined it.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on the newest addition to the family and my warmest greetings on your coming birthday! Great cards for this week's PFF.
ReplyDeleteGreat cards! Congratulations on the upcoming addition to the family.
ReplyDeleteLove the card of Kansas City from 1946, I am amazed the Country Club Plaza doesn't look that changed? The postcard of the lights of Kansas City is a beautiful view at night. Thanks for sharing... Happy PFF!
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful looking place!
ReplyDeleteI do hope the baby arrives on cue. Wouldn't that be extra wonderful? It will be wonderful anyway. :)
Sorry to be so very late in visiting this week.
