Too much gold to post for changes in Wichita, Kansas. Here’s a pinterest link of further pinterest pages.
You’ll see some real gems, like early White Castles, the first Pizza Hut (which was really delicious back in the 70s up to the mid-80s). The Historical Society clock tower, and photos of it on fire when lightning struck in 1981 (no time machines involved).* Our very own amusement park, Joyland, which has become a giant, useless lot (remember Six Flags after Katrina? Just as creepy.). The Crest Theater. Pawnee Drive-In Theater. Twin Lakes shopping center (in which the JC Penney was two stories, and had a two-sided, semicircle stairway around a large fountain where people would throw pennies).
So many gems, and changes. You just have to jump down the memory hole.
*I used to study at the Wichita Art Association. We jokingly referred to them as the Hysterical Society, and they called us the Art Assassination.
