Today, a night shot of downtown Kansas City, MO. This image was taken from the top of the Liberty Memorial with Union Station in the foreground.

I was reading about the storms in Missouri tonight. I then came across this photo of Kansas City (MO).
Great HDR photo. I been at the Liberty Memorial many times. (No, I am not gay.) I was at the Union Station many times in my life. Just to the right of the Union Station I took my Selective Service Physical Examination when I was about 19 or so. There were 200 of us all nude during the examination. I was the only one out of 200 that could not give them a urine sample. The other 199 got to leave and I was there for hours waiting to try and give them a sample. At last I talked them into letting me go over to the Union Station and drink a Coke and then I went back and gave them their sample.
The Western Auto sign brings back memories. My mother worked there when I was a kid.
I worked for five and a half years at Trinity Lutheran Hospital which was a few blocks from the Liberty Memorial. Right at the Liberty Memorial was St. Mary’s Hospital and then back behind it was TLH.
The photo brings back memories.
Check out my best night shot of a similar view:
