Honestly - did you ever 'cruise' Noland?

I was a tad young but would tag along w/ my sister and her friends when she'd allow it.

I remember the Wild Woodys - the Venture - there was an awesome video store where we'd rent Cheech and Chong movies. Let's see - Tippins, Arthur Treachers - Rustlers BBQ, Red Lobster, Fuddruckers.

Those were the days - 1969 Nova v8 w/ Cragar's.

WE WERE THERE!

reminiscing today for some reason...

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.

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.

Greater KC YMCA closed it a couple years ago. The building is still there, but it's not open.

Graduated from Truman in '94.
Cruised a little, but I typically hated it. Had a few contests with friends to see who would get the most phone numbers... then none of us would ever call.
Mostly, it was an annoyance to get through in transit to somewhere else.

Growing up in the Hickman Mills area till High School, Independence was the nicest place on the planet (and I really don't think it was that bad in the 90s). But from a Lee's Summit perspective, it's not great to drive through there, now. Still some great parts, but a lot run down, too.
