Yeah, thank you. I appreciate that great Yeah, I mean everybody thinks that you know the arch was part of that, but it wasn't the arch wasn't built until the 1960s But there's some pictures of some pretty awesome stuff, and I don't know where the hell it all went I mean the world fairs of course that was what that was well almost 120 years ago, so Most of that doesn't exist anymore. That's for sure We've got a famous president in this town, Harry S. Truman. He lives, or he used to live, 12 miles from here where I'm at. And we go up into that area in Independence, there's a square. My family used to go up there all the time, there's an all-time theater up there, an all-time ice cream parlor. Then there's also Perry S. Truman's place is up there, his house, the jail that was up there, the first where the first jails made. And of course, the Mormons were up there too. They're all within blocks of each other. So it's all concentrated in one area, all this history, right. And that's, I'm going to give you some some now some stuff that I did know some of it and some of it I didn't know but it's more humorous. You might like this Josh. Missouri once tried to outlaw drinking while standing up in 1866 to keep writing this down didn't work. There was a town that voted itself out of existence in the 1960s because they were tired of paying taxes in that town. So they just got rid of the town. I think that's Then we had the governor, I don't know what year this is, but this was during the, you know, when Sundays were, you know, that's a blue Sunday, nobody's supposed to do anything, religious in nature. I mean, that went on all the way up to the 1980s, roughly. But they actually tried to ban baseball from happening in Missouri because of this blue law and it didn't work, did not work. Let me see here. Oh, we had an ice cream mafia in this town, in the Kansas City area. This was in the early 1900s and if you didn't pay the mob to sell ice cream on the corner, they would come out and turn over your ice cream carts and make everything, all the ice cream melt and and you just you know did not did not do that without painting the ice cream mafia
