Holy shit, this one

OK fine but I need Accuracy Twitter™️ to consider that the before-and-after photos being one block off doesn't change the fact that an entire dense, thriving neighborhood was bulldozed for highways lol

This isn’t accurate, I live two blocks from where the top photo was — the intersection of 9th and main. The bottom image is a block or so north of that. Delaware and Main used to split there. It went through several iterations. This was the 1930s, looking north.

God people are annoying as hell on here, saying this is fake because of some inaccurate replies. The before & after are facing the same way. The after is ~1 block up. So essentially zooming in on the destruction. Almost all of the ‘before’ buildings are gone — bc of the highway.

That cannot be the same section of the street though, right? If so that is a huge bummer

Kansas City still is an awesome and significantly underrated city though.. Inside the belt.
