Description: Kansas City, MISSOURI - Paseo from 18th Street - 1907: Martin Luther King, Jr. Boulevard (also known as Paseo Boulevard, Paseo, or The Paseo) is a major north–south parkway in Kansas City, Missouri. It runs 19 miles (31 km) (85 blocks) in the center of the city: from Cliff Drive and Lexington Avenue on the bluffs above the Missouri River in the Pendleton Heights historic neighborhood, to 85th Street and Woodland Avenue. The parkway holds 223 acres (0.90 km2) of boulevard parkland dotted with several Beaux-Arts-style decorative structures and architectural details maintained by the city's Parks and Recreation department. The name for Kansas City's first major boulevard was suggested by the first President of the Parks Board, August R. Meyer (1851-1905), based on the Paseo de la Reforma in Mexico City. In 2019 the Paseo was renamed to Martin Luther King Jr. Blvd by the local city council, though petitions to subject the change to a citywide vote have since been submitted after much dismay from local residents. Kansas City's extensive parkway and boulevard system is part of the City Beautiful Movement. This Undivided Back Era (1901-07) postcard, mailed in 1907, is in good condition, but the card has lost one of its corners. Litho Chrome. No. 97341.
