These are both great pictures I missed seeing in January. The foundation and floor of the wharf still exists and this would be a simple building to recreate. What a wonderful location to get on a excursion boat and travel up to Parkville, explore the Kaw, or go downriver to Lexington.
They will need to improve access. The old Grand Ave viaduct had an exit ramp to the wharf that still partially exists.
Your history is a bit off, especially if you want to use the term "Plymouth Rock"
Great information, thank you.moderne wrote: ↑Sat Apr 17, 2021 9:23 am The rock ledge that gave birth to Kansas City:

It is, but the precursor material is glacial; the fine particles are pulverized rock pushed south by glacial advance. The Missouri River around Kansas City was the southernmost advance and the remaining material gets entrained in the wind and deposited on the surrounding bluffs.
Thanks. I was just shocked I remembered "Eolian".Highlander wrote: ↑Wed Apr 21, 2021 6:59 pmIt is, but the precursor material is glacial; the fine particles are pulverized rock pushed south by glacial advance.

http://northeastnews.net/pages/steaming ... %20ChesterThis Fred Harvey postcard shows a scene near the Municipal Wharf at First and Main streets. Two steamboats are docking. One of them is the steamer Chester. The Chester was a regular packet that traveled between St. Louis and Kansas City. The Chester was owned by the Kansas City Transportation and Steamship Company.
