@kcur893 Ever noticed the crumbling slab of limestone near downtown? It’s all that’s left of 120 feet tall bluffs that once hugged the Missouri River by Kansas City. The bluffs made it difficult to traverse the landscape and expand our then-growing city. So in the mid-1800s, a Catholic priest named Father Bernard Donnelly recruited hundreds of Irish immigrants for a dangerous but critical task: digging streets for the city from rocks and mud. KCUR’s Jacob Smollen reports on how just a few hundred men carved many of the roads we travel today. You can hear the full story on a new episode of @kcpeopleshistory. Listen to “Carving Kansas City out of limestone” at KCUR.org or your favorite podcast streaming app. 🎙️Hosted by Jacob Smollen 📹Produced and filmed by Zach Perez #kansascity #irish #immigrants ♬ original sound - KCUR - Kansas City
