well Blue Springs folks liked it too - The Cool Crest commercials are a tasty little morsel in my memory bank. For some reason their commercials are really sentimental - I can't find any on youtube - last time I checked, anyhow.

I'm from the KS side, but spent many hours at Cool Crest. Loved that place. Is it still there?

As for the Venture stores. They never had their sale items in stock on the KS side either.

True story, I watched the Bill-Oilers comeback playoff game at the Venture on Bannister. Wandered in there was the Oilers went as far ahead as they were going to get. Slowly a crowd of about 50 filled the electronics section. Mom and sis were off in ladies clothes, came be ready to go early in the 4thQ. Me and dad overruled her. Good times.

Cruised it. From the car wash at 39th and Noland to the Food 4 Less parking lot at 40 Highway. Back and forth, rinse, repeat. Mostly in the early 90s.

No sir. Born and raised in Independence, about 2 miles south of MCI hospital. Went to Blackburn, Bridger and Truman High. I went to Lee's Summit after college when I finally saw how much of a s**thole Independence was.

I (for some reason) remember the area from behind Rustlers and Wild Woodys working your way back to that small Independence Airport having a huge Italian population. At least in the late eighties it did.

Question to you guys:

I lived in Independence until I was 12 or so (1992). When I go back, I am amazed at how crappy and run down the city is. Was it always like that or was I just too young to notice? Independence is kind of depressing now.

yes - it's always been like that - a ton of fat unhealthy people - crank, meth + ventilators.

Independence has depressed areas, true. But so does Overland Park. Metcalf north of I-435 looks a lot like US 40 through Independence. Independence also has some very nice neighborhoods. And we have real, legit history. The Independence square, all the Truman stuff, Three Trails, Community of Christ and Mormon church history, Vaille Mansion. Plus our parks and streets are in good shape.

And I can leave my house on a Chiefs game day and be tailgaiting 20 minutes later. That's pretty awesome.
