Boss Tom's House is For Sale!

[gblowfish]

Tom Pendergast's Ward Parkway home is up for sale at just under $4 million. Are you listening Eric Fisher???

If you don't know who Tom Pendergast was, he was the political boss of KC in the 1920's to the 1940's. He's the guy who put Harry Truman in politics.

He was KC's version of Chicago's Mayor Richard Daley before Mayor Daley existed.

Cool house: Check the pictures!

The adjacent area on the Kansas side is also pricey. Back in the day the people that wouldn't put up with the KC corruption moved a mile west. The Kansas side became popular because of it. Ewing Kauffman, the Block family (H&R Block), Russell Stover (candy), the Disney family, the Kohl family (Hemingway wrote most of For Whom the Bell Tolls in their guest house... you'd be proud of a house like that!), the Talge family (Rival, Crock Pot, Seal-a-meal)... ah, too many more to list. It's an awesome area.

Mission Hills, where the beer flows like wine and minorities are pulled over before they even cross the state line.

The KCMO cop-thugs are much more worrisome than Mission Hills. Mission Hills doesn't have a police department.

Yeah, it's a regular gestapo with four patrol cars covering MH and PV.

I was just curious. Nobody cruises MH. There's not a straight road in 98% of the city. State Line and Mission Rd. don't count. Tomahawk is a speed trap. The rest of it is cul-de-sacs, two blocks of straight side-street followed by a curved road that becomes a dead end.

Which house would you take in MH if you could choose any of them?
