Yes, I was in Kansas today! We have started the European Legacy Trail but instead of finishing that we started the Latino Trail. What I didn't realize until I got home was this trail only has 6 stops and I visited 4 of them today. If I had known I would have finished the trail.
Most of the Latino stops are in the Argentine neighborhood.
The first stop was the Vega Field Park.
The Latino children were not allowed to play baseball with white children
so Vega made his own field so the kids could play.
Today it is a soccer field with a walking track.
It also has a very nice playground.
I found the marker.
Across the street was a mural for Vega.
I also found the police department.
That's downtown Kansas City Mo in the background.
On to the next stop.
St. John the Divine
This church is a combination of two churches after the first was destroyed.
That little square on the right caught my eye.
High Water Mark from a flood June 1, 1903
The camera is level with my head and I'm 5'2.
It must be close to 10 feet.
The last stop for this post is the Argentine History Mural that we have seen before.
That's it for today.
Until tomorrow.
