Postcards: Country Club Plaza, Kansas City
This is a really cool area we hit on our trip through Kansas. More on that.
The top card (the fountain) is the only one with writing on the back.
"The statuary is all bronze- set in an 80-foot diameter pool. Electric pumps in an underground room recirculate the water to form the nine fountain streams. Located at 47th Street and J. C. Nichols Parkway, near the entrance to the famed Country Club Plaza shopping center, this beautiful fountain is a constant reminder of Kansas City's beauty and culture- the 'City of Fountains.'"
The city, and this specific area, are very underrated.
