I didn't listen to that particular broadcast; I'm not at all surprised it turned into a self-back-patting exercise.

Regarding where we were, and what happened: I started a project of mapping where my grandfather and his 7 siblings lived from the late 1930s through 1980s.

However, I'm sure they'll mention what a huge boom the desegregation of public schools was for Johnson county? After-all, the gift of JoCo is that there's a city, county and state political border between dirty old KCMO proper and their "community", making things such as desegregation-era busing nearly impossible.
Posted by tacitus]]> Wed, 07 Jul 2010 09:16:00 -0500 Pitch Considering that there are countless suburbs that are exactly the same all across the country, it's a bit hard to imagine who is supposed to visit JoCo to study the origins of Big Boy restaurants and beige subdivisions.
And as with many similar projects that are supported by small groups, it will be interesting to see how long it takes for the notion of "private donations" to die and the push for public money begins.
Probably best to stick with the 1950s all-electric house and leave it at that.
