I was doing some research for the KCI Corridor Trail and came across a 1964 aerial that showed the Red Crown Tavern that I wrote about almost two years ago. The aerials were broken up in two files and I didn't bother to pair them together. The two sets of streets running north-south are US 71. The road running left to right is Cookingham which was US 71 Bypass way back when.
The area obviously has changed since MoDOT first built US 71, then made it four lanes to the west, then added the KCI Aiport flyover when the 3 terminals were built.
I also found some fellow nerdy folks like myself who checked out the site a while back.
Since it was a "tavern" I wonder if the place had any regulars...
