I was being serious when I said it looked run down. I'm sure there are nice areas, but the places I visit are usually from noland eastward between 24 and i70

Dumbasses saying Independence is the Meth capitol-have no clue. The police and drug taskforces cracked down and busted these scumbags in record numbers while other communities pretended like it was not happening. I have friends in the police department and people would be dumb to set up in Indep. anymore. They will get busted. I live here and have a business-from the Champion Comets to the Mavs. to the great schools, to all the great history and tourist sites-It is a good place to live. |

I'm glad you like Indep, Mr. Blowfish.
Our opinions differ, I'm afraid. It is, however, cool to see how well Van Horn has done since being brought back into the Independence School District. Some people look down on the district, but I should admit that the education that I received was pretty darn good. Plenty of resources and not a lot of trouble. My parents share your opinion. They put down roots here and raised a family. That's nice and all, but it doesn't mean that Indep doesn't have its share of issues. |

Lots of money and tax credits went east-Events Center, blue valley- but some of the money is comeing back and we are getting some new restaurants. We also changed the old hospitol/sanitarium into a place for small business to start and grow. No community around here has built and grew more than Independence. |

only once. I was probably 10, and my brother had just put in big block into his 70 Camaro, and was taking it out for break in etc. He asked if I wanted to tag along, and it was the coolest feeling ever for a 10 year old.
back in the good 'ol days when you could drive a muscle car 30 miles each way to 'cruise' and not be in the poor house. |

Wild Woody's wow as kid loved that place. I would walk in with dad and see those big huge jeans hanging on the ceiling. I would marvel at whoever could fit into those. Well now I am older and I'm a big pants guy. Anyone know where you can get a pair them bad boys?
