USA ~Missouri-Kansas City~

Got a wonderful building view with an impressive fountain in front...
From internet:There is no place in Kansas City – or any city – quite like Union Station. This fully restored landmark is Kansas City's most prominent destination for cultural and entertainment activities. It must be a great place to visit...
And wit a really nice stamp from the Negro Leagues baseball stamp series: A home run.

From the back of the card:
The Henry Wollman Bloch Fountain is located in front of the renovated Union Station in Kansas City, Missouri. The fountain features 232 jets arranged in 3 concentric circles and is computer choreographed for an ever changing display with intermittent 60 foot water geysers.

USA ~Saint Charles-Missouri~

I like all the views on this card (US-927976) very much!! It looks a really friendly street... The sender wrote that she works in a bookstore here (view with the green door) Not many people can show their workplace on a postcard! Just great:D
