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. The Northeast neighborhood was an ideal location because the KC Terminal Railiroad ran through the area.
