At approximately 55th and Brookside, along the old Kansas City streetcar system's right-of-way, sits a small way station, a place where weary travelers from a bygone era could sit and wait for the Waldo streetcar to come along and pick them up for a shopping trip at Thayer's in downtown KC. Solidly built out of limestone, with a sloping green roof, the little way station is covered with ivy inside and out. Its once welcoming exterior now greets only spiders, flies and other insects, and maybe allows a homeless person or runaway teen to spend the night.
