Back in the day.... compared to today

Back in the day when I was a kid ...

At the corner of N. Oak and Vivion Rd in the Northland was this beautiful pasture that contained these gorgeous horses.  The nice thing about having to stop at that stoplight is the horses were normally in the corner of the property watching traffic go by.  They looked so pretty and carefree standing there eating grass and swishing their tails against themselves to get rid of the pesky flies.

Well.. watch out....there are plans underway to build a new shopping center on a portion of this land that was owned by the Midwestern Baptist Theological Seminary campus in the Northland.

They are going to call it North Oak Village and will have more than 300,000 square feet of retail with one big box store, one smaller anchor and seven smaller freestanding operations.

Time and Kansas City Real Estate changes.....and so does the scenery...unless you aren't the lead sled dog.

Fran, things change sometimes for the better sometimes for the worst, which side you fall on depends on the point of view and values that you hold.  I have come to the conclusion in my life that I will not be able to stop change, but I can try to have a positive influence on it.

GEORGE:  You are absolutely right!  Not that I thought the shopping center was a bad thing, but when I heard about it I thought of that spot as a child.

Thanks so much for stopping by!
