Synopsis

Explores the forgotten structures of a growing metropolis, revealing their historical significance and current neglect.

Kansas City is an ever-growing metropolis. Every day the city’s expansion reaches out just a little bit farther. Along with this expansion comes more infrastructure and the need for space. Sometimes the structures that sit upon the coveted land can be utilized in the plans, while other buildings stand in the way. In this next installment of Abandoned Kansas City, even more forgotten and vacant places tell their stories of the past, their decline into abandonment, and their present-day outcomes. Each of these places have historical significance, whether they are documented in the city’s foundation or survive in the memories of those who remember them. Now they all share the same emptiness and neglect after their purpose has been served.

About the Author

Regina Daniel specializes in urban exploration photography. She is also the owner and operator of Red Vixen Photography. Covering much of the Kansas City area and surrounding vicinities, she has gone on to travel through seven states in the Midwest doing her abandoned photography. What started as curiosity for the abandonment has turned into documenting the forgotten or lesser-known history lessons and photographing what has stood the test of time. That change from curiosity to preservation led her to write the Abandoned Kansas City book series, Abandoned Eastern Kansas, and Abandoned Pitcher, Oklahoma.
