Very nice, I was born in 54 in KC and remember some of these. Most were gone before my time, but it's good to the see the history of old KC. Thank you.
Im 74. Grew up in Kansas City. I don’t remember most of the buildings you showed but thank you so much. I also question what we were taught. I loved Prairi Village and dressing up to go downtown in the snow to walk around Wolfe Bros. And Emery, Byrd, Thayer to see the animated displays in the windows. We had a Black cleaning women who half raised me. It may have been a racist society but they taught me love and respect as much as my folks. Also, all that city architecture was in the middle of FARM COUNTRY. That culture too had major flaws. I learned the joy of working hard and being connected by that labor to the Earth and the good people around me. I’m no longer a Christian. There is a beauty in singing wholeheartedly in a one room church with generations of kin. My grandfather shot my old dog when we moved to California. It wasn’t perfect. We should question and learn. Why hate the Past? Why hate each other? I don’t.
You can’t turn away from loving Jesus and if you do, did you really ever love him? Or was your heart somewhere els. But if the path wasn’t wide and the gate not narrow than he’d be a liar. Prayin for ya
Great work, very awesome visuals, I see a lot of Mud Flood buildings and of course the city is already built out. You never see any construction site's, or cranes in the sky, working on building sky scrapers or street work, in all these old photos. The Old World buildings were extremely well built with stone and brick, they were also very ornate, these buildings were so well built, they lasted for centuries. In our modern and highly sophisticated times, our modern day built, buildings are given a self life of one hundred and fifty years.
Thank you so much for your videos. I so appreciate them. Some of those buildings are still standing. The Liberty Memorial and the train depot are still there. I was a volunteer at the Nelson Atkins Instutite of Art (museum) for the one year that I lived in KC. I was a guest lecturer at KU Med. That's an incrediable and massive structure. The lobby is other worldly and will take one's breath away. The first floor is under ground. There are windows in the underground level that are facing dirt. That's were staff's conference rooms/break rooms are. We are told that it was built in the middle of the depression.
Man have you ever been to Kansas City? We didn’t make them, but there are still a ton of them there. Reason why they call it chief’s kingdom, castles and old world buildings everywhere. I don’t meant to hate maybe I wasn’t paying close attention enough attention and I don’t know the exact buildings that are or were there. To clarify I’ve been to KC dozens of times living about 3 hours away, the old world architecture that still exist there seemed abundant to me, but wanted to be sure I wasn’t coming off as I knew for sure which buildings were there and or gone.
I don't know all of the buildings. But I know that at least the liberty memorial at the WW1 museum is still there. I think at least one of the theaters shown in here is alive and well
Another eye opening video. That Willis Wood theater at 6:20 is impressive. I lived in K.C. For 7 years And I can’t say that I remember any of these buildings except for liberty Memorial. There is an area south of downtown called the Plaza which has a lot of old structures. Also Kansas City is known as the city of fountains because there are so many. I love the music btw. Thank you!
What do you make of the Country Club Plaza? Do you think those buildings are old world? Down town still has some of these massive structures, but I never thought about the Plaza. The Liberty Memorial is still there. They used to have the "KC Spirit Fest", a music festivial, on the grounds of the memorial.
I haven't been there in many years but I would imagine some of them are, also the original Rockhurst building. Would love to see it all again with my new improved vision.
@@billwong101 Well, I'll know later this fall, when I take my son to the University of Kansas (where a load of old world architecture) for a college visit. We'll spend some time in KC. I'll be looking at all of it with fresh eyes.
The "snarky commentary" is to point out that the narrative is a huge lie. Instead of believing what you're told, believe what you see with your own eyes.
@@oldworldex i personally like it, instead of completely over the top loud mouth type commentary like a lot of content creators. Similar to jon levi. Well done. I cant believe all those buildings were in kansas city, amazing. I say " were" because im assuming most are gone now.
At 5:58, is that the interior of a KC, MO train station? 😳 Birmingham, Alabama where I live, had the most beautiful train station you could imagine, but this one could give it a run for its money. Wow. Simply beautiful.
@@mollyg4980 I just googled Union Station KC Missouri. WOW!!! The interior is incredible! It looks more holy than a Cathedral. Thank you for enlightening me to its existence!
Sorry you lost yours, the ceilings were repaired, could see sky in places, they hired a guy from England to replaster and paint ceilings, they are awesome.
It seems most are missing the point here. The history we have been taught and shown in pictures doesn't match up to these old world buildings. How did they do this in horse and buggy days with primitive tools? Were they doing all the architectural work from ladders 20-30 stories in the air? Think about the pics we have all seen on the streets in New York, or Chicago some 130 years ago. Early 1800's what were the buildings made of? Logs, not ornate stone and marble. Something is off, I'm just not sure why.
Many of these buildings look to have had an upper story addition or more at different times. Those who lived on the top floor must have had some sturdy legs. Presuming no elevators in them.

So many buildings I never saw and I’m 30 yrs old it’s like there was more buildings back then than there is now
Because many of them have been torn down before you were born. Some are still here and have been modified/remodeled.
Great pictures. I love KC!
Same here!

thanks for this comment! Very interesting to hear about these places from people who have been there..
Very nicely done. Really enjoyed the pics..
Those buildings don't exist anymore. They were erased from history. We did not make them either.

Also, union station is still alive and well
Beautiful look at Kansas City. Thank you!
You have impeccable timing on the guitar
Thanks I appreciate that!
Thank you, loved the video and subscribed. Just amazing very very old buildings. I ( Aussie here) get exactly what you are narrating. Agree totally. 😘
There’s no place like home!!!!!!

I hadnt heard this audio music track in the old episodes .. love it chris
Cheers! That's me messing around on my guitar..
Wonderful job!Great video!! I love Kansas City. Grew up here
Thank you very much!
Great job..I'm from top.ks
I'm so glad you're channel found me! I love history and you are opening my eyes to so much I was clueless of...
Great channel, thanks so much!!! I’m from Kansas!
Thanks for watching!
Your right about the education system, they are grooming our children.
*You're
Great video. I was born and raised in KC. All but the snarky commentary
The "snarky commentary" is to point out that the narrative is a huge lie. Instead of believing what you're told, believe what you see with your own eyes.
Glad you liked it. I am snarky...there's no two ways about it. The wizard can be all powerful or just an old chap behind a curtain...

Amazing. Thanks for sharing❤️
My pleasure 😊
I used to have a recurring dream of a really old building in KCMO that hieroglyphics and other Egyptian things inside.
That was Nelson Art Gallery. Your parents probably took you there as a baby.
Lmao bruh is a pharaoh
@@patrickshaw8595 I'm thinking it was tied to the Shriners Circus

That def looks like Union Station, it's stunning.
@@mollyg4980 I just googled Union Station KC Missouri. WOW!!! The interior is incredible! It looks more holy than a Cathedral. Thank you for enlightening me to its existence!
K.c. Union Station has been restored and partially repurposed. Still is used fir Amtrak. Worth visiting again.
@@Fred-kz5xh Just looked up photos of it both interior and exterior. Just gorgeous. I hate they tore our train station down 😔
Sorry you lost yours, the ceilings were repaired, could see sky in places, they hired a guy from England to replaster and paint ceilings, they are awesome.
I'm gonna get book!
thank you!
I live here i only recognize a few of these buildings
Its like they're covering up something from us
Everything's up-to-date in Kansas City! ♪
I've got an update to this one coming..
Except the sewer!
In many photos the streets are empty of people

Because you're not really very smart or interested in learning.
Great photos of old KC…could use a little less social commentary.
you can always mute it.
I thought id be getting a history lesson about architecture in Kansas City. Not some guy rambling about cultural programming
The cultural programming is the history lesson...or the lesson history teaches us..if we let it in.
Many of these buildings look to have had an upper story addition or more at different times.
Those who lived on the top floor must have had some sturdy legs. Presuming no elevators in them.
The pictures are great; the “narrator” ruins it. What the hell are you even talking about?
The Old World.
