River Market

I was in River Market last weekend on Delaware St and found some of the old buildings like this one nicely maintained while others were in need of some TLC (which I will show in coming days).  River Market is one of the oldest and most historic areas of Kansas City.  The name River Market came from its dock on the Missouri River and the open air market (City Market).  This has been a vibrant area since the early 1800's.

I love these old brick buildings and I especially like those light fixtures. They are great.

Looks like my kind of area! I love the painted window trim.

It looks like a good area to visit. I enlarged the photo, and even enlarged, none of the buildings looked bad. Nice area.
