When it was refurbished, FINALLY, it was amazing! Everytime I go in there, I'm reminded of a time past -- it's so easy to feel the history of the place. Some of it's most notorious history is the infamous 1930s Bureau of Investigation Massacre at the hands of Charles "Pretty Boy" Floyd. I can only imagine what our Union Station was like on that horrific day. Anyway -- I know you like history -- so here's a link, although you probably know the story already! Peace & blessings to ya, Mr. Bess...<BR/><BR/>http://kansascity.fbi.gov/massacre.htmMichellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12204997166634933312noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11923960.post-1161116298557595122006-10-17T16:18:00.000-04:002006-10-17T16:18:00.000-04:00Profzero-Ahh...nostalgia can be beautiful.
