Book Synopsis


Trade Review
From the North End to the Country Club District, from the West Bottoms to downtown skyscrapers—Wide-Open Town’s contributors and editors prowl the corners of one of the nation’s most vital cities during that long interwar moment when Kansas City’s politics and culture fused to form a unique mix of idealism, conflict, and possibility. The story that emerges from their essays is essential not just for those who know and love this city but for anyone seeking fresh insight into the roots of late twentieth-century metropolitan America."" - Eric T. Sandweiss, Carmony Chair and professor of history, Indiana University
