Last Look @ Northeast Kansas City School

Hyperblogal offers images of KCPS building that's about to be demolished (and blight the surrounding neighborhood even more) because repurposing efforts have failed: Thacher School 1897 - More Needless Demo

Just another reminder to citizens of how quick government representatives are to make promises and once they get what they want, they conveniently forget, plead ignorance, or say that circumstances have changed so they no longer feel bound to their promises. (Of course, they also forget that the very nature of a promise is to do what you said you would do. Otherwise, it's really just a calculated lie intended to manipulate.)

And now all those buildings we were promised would not be torn down? Well, they're gonna tear them down.

Closed in 2011. Not secured until after the fire.
