Michelle and I, Chris and Jonathan...had a terrific time stomping around the West Bottoms of Kansas City. What a trip. We parked under the 12
th street bridge and just started walking. We took pictures of about everything we looked at and had some great adventures along the way. We started out at the Good
JuJu store
goodjujukc.com where we were all very excited it was open and walked right in...we made it about 5 feet before the owner informed us we were not welcome and the store was closed. We left and they shut the door right behind us...oh well moving on. So we started walking on down towards the train tracks and under the bridge and ran into a "Real" photo shoot...this rather overweight shady looking guy taking pictures of models. It was the real deal we guessed...they had a booth set up for makeup and dressing rooms and everything. Kind of cool. We came to the conclusion that they were strippers, although I am not sure how we came to that. Jonathan was keeping us posted on anything going on with the models. He was a great Lookout for us. We continue around the different blocks...taking advantage of every photo op we had. The best part is to come..SOME HOW...I think Chris had something to do with this..we end up right
infront of Pole
Worx..
yeh I will attach the link for all interested parties
http://poleworx.com/ Can you BELIEVE I did not take a picture of Michelle and I on the poles. Did not even think of it...Rookie move. Great times...Great times. Who knew in the West Bottoms you could learn to Pole Dance, learn to Box...and hit a
Architectural Salvage shop all on the same block. I guess Chris.
We decided to clean our act up a little bit and headed back to the car to go to Union Station. I have to say...we did not pick up many pictures at Union Station and were way better off in the bottoms. ALTHOUGH...Union Station does have this really amazing Fireman Museum that is a must see. You cannot touch anything except the little firetruck with the bell...but you CAN look at all the neat antique fireman stuff. Anyone that knows Chris...knows he is a fireman and I am just joking around with him. Gotta love me Chris!! The Museum is small right now but the firefighters are just starting this project and they do have great
plans and alot of work ahead of them. On a serious note...congratulations on the museum and it really will be awesome!!
Ok...so now to the photos...remember, this was our first trip "into the field" for this new way of art...taking pictures of things around town to make letters. So you have to use your imagination on some of them...and when put together in an actual word, you would see the letter alot easier. Its like I am trying to make excuses for the craziness to come. I SEE an F..I SEE an A..I SEE an S..I SEE a J...you get the point.
