Rockhurst University

 It's suppose to be wonderful weather today but it's partly cloudy and a little bit chilly.  I still needed to go for a nice long walk today.  Rockhurst University it is!


It's a nice small campus.
It is a Jesuit University.  I didn't know what that was.
A Jesuit university is a Catholic university founded and run by the Society of Jesus (Jesuits), emphasizing a holistic education focused on spirituality, social justice, and service to others, and rooted in the liberal arts tradition. 


This is the center of the campus.
Kinerk Commons


Loyola Park - Baseball field


Activity Center - gym


They are the Hawks



A really neat old entry way


Field House and Athletic Department


Lacrosse Field


I'm not sure what this but I would guess somewhere to pray.


Conway Hall - Business


Saint Ignatius Of Loyola


Greenlease Library


This building is across the street.
Parking, St. Luke's Urgent Care, and University Offices


This is their church across the street from the campus.


Statue in front



Across the street is a UMKC sign.  


I would guess this is the original building.


It says Rockhurst College


This is Greenlease Gallery.
It's been on my to-do list.


Van Ackeren Hall


I went to the other side of the building but the gallery was closed.
There are only 2 rooms.  I'm not sure I will come back.


They did have many wonderful magnolia trees.


Student Center


Science Building


Pedro Arrupe S.J. Hall


Weird little art outside a building 


That's it for the University.  I'm going to guess there are at least as many residence halls as buildings for classes.  Honestly, I prefer UMKC.  

We continue on down the street.


Right down the street is Blackhole Bakery.
I have came here many times with the kids.
Their brownie is on my list.  It's suppose to be the best.


But this is what I found.
Damn.


I found an old barber pole.


There is a bakery down the street.
It is vegan and glutton free.
I was told not to go here.  It's not really my thing.

That's it for the day.  I beat the rain and got a great walk in. 

Until tomorrow.

Wine Tasting

 Really out of my comfort zone but tonight I went a wine tasting.   The HOA president told me about it last Friday. I walk to the end of the...
