I think the Grocery was Milgrims? Which doesn't exist anymore.

I was cleaning up my computer files tonight, and came across some old Independence pictures. Some are of Noland Road:

Oh, and I should weight in on the subject at hand. I never drove my Nova down there, but that was because I had two friends with infinitely superior cruising cars. Lifelong friend I grew up with in church had a mom who was a drag racing nut, and he had a yellow Olds 442 with a 455 that ran in the low 11s. Then a HS friend, Mike, was the nephew of Rick Mears, and somehow talked his dad into letting him own AND cruise with HIS 1969 Nova that had a fully blown 454 BB and Micky Thompsons. Mike got me and another friend into the infield at Indy as well.

Red Barn was a chicken chain like KFC. This one was at Sterling and US 40, just down the street from Blue Ridge Mall.

In '98, ice was pretty much at its peak. Throw in that plus the normal Independence/Raytown/Kansas City rivalries and shit got out of control. I saw a shitload of fights, more than a few had guns pulled, even more had knives pulled. That was a crazy period for KC in general (I had friends all over KC and went to Raytown). |

There seemed to be over 100-150 people there at a time on a Sunday afternoon, pretty popular while it lasted. |
