It’s a relatively pedestrian thoroughfare now, but it has a bawdy history that hearkens back to Kansas City’s stockyard roots and its wide-open entertainment scene all the way up through the 1960s. The eight-mile, east-west strip runs between the West Bottoms and the eastern edge of the city near the Blue River.
CuriousKC researched the history of 12th Street after receiving a request to review the “old 12th Street strip from the 1950s and 1960s.”
