THis post is NOT about the conspiracy & meth fueled rantings of some hobo blathering about the evil forces targeting his nearly indecipherable agenda . . . BUT, a Wayback Wednesday post regarding a gentler time in local history when KCMO appreciated the finer things. Take a look:

A Westport wine garden at 39th and Roanoke

In the late 1800s, a popular entertainment site at Thirty-Ninth and Roanoke was called one of the most beautiful spots in Kansas City. For many years, German immigrant Frederick Esslinger's house, vineyards and wine garden were a popular destination for many Westport and Kansas City residents.
