I want to see more neighborhood photos of KC. When I was there in 2002, I only got to see downtown and a couple of other neighborhoods south of downtown.

I'm gonna try to get more neighborhood scenes in the coming weeks/months. It's all ice and cold here at present, though.

I think the words sturdy and urban apply here. Looks like a place with a nice future in front of it, and the great history behind it. Thanks for the tour Tosspot.

Scarritt, my old hood, is part of a larger neighborhood cluster usually called Northeast or Old Northeast, which is abutts the CBD's northeast corner and runs east along Independence Ave for about 3 miles. Scarritt lies north of the Avenue and east of Chestnut, about two miles due east of the River Market.
Seeing the street sign of Benton Blvd, a thought occured to me - does the name have any connection to Thomas Hart Benton?
I wouldn't think that it is named after him, but his great-uncle (and namesake) was a senator from Missouri. I believe there were some other politicians in the family as well. Anyone know the story behind the name of the street?
