The latest edition of the Past | Present history series from The Kansas City Star shows how downtown and Union Station looked before highways I-70, I-35 and I-670 encircled the heart of the city.

The video compares a postcard from the mid-1950s to the same view today.

Years ago, the “other” Kansas City — the one in Kansas — had its own busy downtown. Though less grand than its Missouri cousin, a stretch of Minnesota Avenue west of 7th Street was lined for decades with shops, banks, theaters and eateries.

This installment of the Past|Present series looks down Minnesota Avenue in KCK, first with a postcard from the 1950s, followed by the exact same view in 2023.

Kansas City Star (Miller) by Roger Miller, produced by Jerry Kennedy

One of Miller’s five ‘pop’ top-40 entries during the year.

Pop Chart Peaks: Record World 26, Billboard 31, Cash Box 38 - C&W Chart Peak: 7 - Easy Listening Chart Peak: 3

THE 1965 HITS ARCHIVE - here in one place, a good-quality library of original-release-version best-sellers and songs which made an impact that were either released or enjoyed a major chunk of their popularity within the calendar year 1965 (some were recorded in 1964).

One of the best indications that Kansas City started as a river town was the placement of its first two city halls.

Both were located on Main Street between 4th Street and 5th Streets, just a few blocks from the Missouri River.

While the first one, built in 1853, was fairly plain, its successor arrived in 1882 with considerably more visual flair. It was six stories tall and marked by architectural flourishes that led building historian George Ehrlich to describe it as “fussy."

Kansas City Star Lyrics:

Got a letter just this mornin' it was postmarked Omaha
It was typed and neatly written offerin' me this better job
Better job at higher wages, expenses paid and a car
But I'm on TV here locally and I can't quit, I'm a star
Ha ha, I come on TV grinnin, ' wearin' pistols and a hat
It's a kiddy show and I'm a hero of the younger set
I'm the number one attraction every supermarket parkin' lot
I'm the queen of Kansas City, no thanks, Omaha, thanks a lot
Kansas City star, that's what I are
Yodel-deedle ay-hee, you oughta see my car
I drive a big old Cadillac with wire
Wheels, got rhinestones on the spokes
I got credit down at the grocery store
And my barber tells me jokes
I'm the number one attraction every supermarket parkin' lot
I'm the Queen of Kansas City, ... no thanks, Omaha, thanks a lot
Kansas City star, that's what I are
Yodel-deedle ay-hee, you oughta see my car
I drive a big old Cadillac with wire
Wheels, got rhinestones on the spokes
I got credit down at the grocery store
And my barber tells me jokes
I'm the number one attraction every supermarket parkin' lot
I'm the queen of Kansas City, no thanks, Omaha, thanks a lot
I'm the queen of Kansas City, no thanks, Omaha, thanks a lot

The World Cup is fast approaching, and not many in Kansas City know more about it than Matt Besler. Besler, a former Sporting KC star and Kansas City native, played for the U.S. men’s national team in the 2014 World Cup in Brazil. Besler has since hung up his cleats, trading them in for a coaching clipboard.

Roger Miller - Kansas City Star

Roger Dean Miller (January 2, 1936 -- October 25, 1992) was an American singer, songwriter, musician and actor, best known for his honky tonk-influenced novelty songs. His most recognized tunes included the chart-topping country/pop hits "King of the Road", "Dang Me" and "England Swings", all from the mid-1960s Nashville sound era.
Miller died from lung cancer in 1992, and was posthumously inducted into the Country Music Hall of Fame three years later.
The Roger Miller Museum in his home town serves as a tribute to Miller.
