Description

Near Olathe Kansas, January 2001. Scan of a 35mm print.

When I took this picture, I took it from an angle where the tree in the foreground would cover some spray painted graffiti on the side of the house.

My wife and I were visiting with my relatives in Olathe Kansas and afterwards we were going to visit a friend of my wife in Bolivar Missouri. Instead of getting on a highway, we decided to start off by just going east on the regular roads just to see what we came across. My notes say that this was on 157th Street, but that has to be a mistake. Most likely, we were at the restaurant Jumpin Catfish with my relatives and we left on 151st street. In any case, the area has had a lot of urbanization in the last 16 years and I doubt these buildings would still exist.
