When the Circus Came to the Northeast
-
Description
-
Kansas City historian and author, Dory DeAngelo, reminisces about the days when traveling circuses would visit Kansas City and put on performances in the Northeast neighborhood. From the early-1930s through the mid-1950s, the circuses would set up in a field near St. John Avenue and Belmont Boulevard across from the old Montgomery Wards building.
