From the end of the Great War to the final years of the 1950s,
Kansas Citians lived in a manner worthy of a place called Paris of
the Plains. The title did more than nod to the perfumed ladies who
shopped at Harzfeld's Parisian or the one-thousand-foot television
antenna nicknamed the "Eye-full Tower." It spoke to the character
of a town that worked for Boss Tom and danced for Count Basie but
transcended both the Pendergast era and the Jazz Age. Author John
Simonson introduces readers to a town of vaudeville shows and
screened-in porches, where fleets of cream-and-black streetcars
passed beneath a canopy of elms. This is a history that smells
equally of lilacs and stockyards and bursts with the clamor of
gunshots, radio baseball and the distant whistle of a night train.
