Old Thanksgiving

When I was young Congress could not decide what Thursdayto have Thanksgiving on so they left it up to the states. Missouri took the 4th Thursday and Kansas the third. My parents decided we should go to Kansas City on our Thanksgiving. We took Highway 10 through Lawrence and went in the Plaza way through Fairway. Fairway still had brick streets which impressed me. We went on downtown and visited the stores and ate at the Forum Cafeteria. Then my father decided to go back to Topeka on Highway 40 which ran north of the Kaw River(now known as the Kansas River). We stopped at the big Katz Store in Kansas City, Kansas and bought chocolate kisses. Then over the bridge to Highway 40 and home.
