I assume... I really don't know enough about KC other than how to drive through it to get to the other side.

yep....my parents ended up there once by missing there exit. Ended up on Prospect avenue..............Van Brunt/Hardesty are within that area.......just East. Not the best area to be in anytime......they were there in daytime.


Used to have an employee thaty had friends in North bottoms area I guess.....north of the river. Not as bad but still had some crime rate.........but I think you get that about anywhere anymore

My office mate lives in KC K, not sure why other than he grew up there. I tell him at least once a week he needs to move his wife and 5 month old daughter out of there and head as far into the country as he can afford.

Yep......i KNOW IT IS .......its bad when you hear about farmers getting stuff stolen all the time now.........and people wonder WHY the ol'timers wont let them hunt on there land anymore gee I wonder why...............then makes it harder for some folks to use it and keep it clean and right

I am sure it was drug related or something to that effect.

I used to work at 47th Paseo ( Funeral Home ).

23rd and Van Brunt is not the best neighborhood in the area, but it is far from the worst. ( Would night want to go there unarmed ) but stay away from any area between 30th prospect and 63rd prospect.
