Every day the city's expansion reaches out just a little bit farther. Along with this expansion comes more infrastructure and the need for space. Sometimes the structures that sit upon the coveted land can be utilized in the plans, while other buildings stand in the way.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e In this next installment of \u003ci\u003eAbandoned Kansas City\u003c\/i\u003e, even more forgotten and vacant places tell their stories of the past, their decline into abandonment, and their present-day outcomes. Each of these places have historical significance, whether they are documented in the city's foundation or survive in the memories of those who remember them. Now they all share the same emptiness and neglect after their purpose has been served.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eDaniel, Regina:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e - REGINA DANIEL specializes in urban exploration photography. She is also the owner and operator of Red Vixen Photography. Covering much of the Kansas City area and the surrounding vicinities, she has gone on to travel through six states in the Midwest doing her abandoned photography. What started as curiosity for the abandoned has turned into documenting the forgotten or lesser-known history lessons and photographing what has stood the test of time. That change from curiosity to preservation led her to write the \u003ci\u003eAbandoned Kansas City\u003c\/i\u003e book series and \u003ci\u003eAbandoned Picher, Oklahoma\u003c\/i\u003e. Regina's passion to photograph the abandoned will continue to have a driving force as long as progression continues to leave the old and obsolete behind for better and brighter tomorrows.","brand":"America Through Time","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50382787805458,"sku":"9781634993487","price":17.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0831\/4771\/8930\/files\/img_c2318c21-0916-4667-9d17-f907faabf18f.jpg?v=1728717979","url":"https:\/\/surprise-castle.myshopify.com\/products\/abandoned-kansas-city-vacant-beauty-9781634993487","provider":"Surprise Castle","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
