| First stop is Kansas Avenue in Armourdale. This picture is looking west along Kansas Avenue from the bend in the road at 5th Street. |
 |
| Here's Kansas Avenue today. Like the other avenues we've looked at (Central & Minnesota), the view is radically different today. |
 |
| Here's the west end of Armourdale at 18th & Kansas Avenue. Anyone who has driven on 18th Street Expressway should remember this building. |
 |
| Here's how it looks today. 18th Street Expressway is prominent in the foreground Looks like the brown and white building was added on to and the structures to the north (right) were all torn down. |
 |
| I *think* this building was just west of the one above (where Proctor & Gamble is now along Kansas Avenue). If you recognize it, send me a note. |
 |
| Now let's head back downtown. This lovely building has been well maintained over the years and still graces the northeast corner of 10th & Barnett by Northrup Park. Today it's the Mrs. J.W. Jones Memorial Chapel. |
 |
| Here's a neighborhood scene from 1919. This view is looking east on Grandview Boulevard from roughly the alley between 18th and 17th Streets. The red brick house in the center of this postcard sits on the northeast corner of 17th and Grandview. |
 |
| I'm assuming this postcard came out a few years after the one above. It shows the view looking north along the 300 block of North 17th Street. |
Let's wrap up today by heading back downtown for three views of the old Carnegie Library on Minnesota Avenue.
 |
| This postcard had to come from the very early 1900's. I think it shows a view looking northwest from the "side and back" of the library. |
 |
| This postcard was circulated in 1907. I think it shows a view looking southwest from the "side and front" of the library. Notice that a more elaborate stone staircase has been added at the side door (left of photo) What a cool building! |
 |
| This postcard was dated 1913 and shows an impressive plaza in front of the library |
That's all for today. I still have one more batch of postcards to go and will try to get to it soon.
Have a great week!
