excelsior springs
a couple weekends ago on a beautiful saturday, I took a drive about a half hour outside kansas city to the town of excelsior springs. back in the day people flocked there to experience the reputed healing properties of the water from the 20 springs the city was founded on. in 1935 a one million dollar federal works administration project built the hall of waters which included the world's longest water bar. things have changed quite a bit between then & now but the hall & water bar are still there...
in addition to touring the hall of waters I walked all over town, ate a cheeseburger at Ray's, went to an antique mall & a couple thrift stores...
it was a very nice day :)

My husband and I honeymooned at the Elms almost 20 years ago. It was gorgeous then. What a beautiful KC landmark in our own backyard...gorgeous photos...smiles..Renee
You have such an eye for photo composition. Loved the tour of the Water Hall. So interesting. We lived in Olathe for three years in the 70s - wish we had known about this, it would have been fabulous to take a tour.
It's good to have you back. :)
