Dodge City Residence
Not insomuch a fondest memory of Dodge City, but of Kansas. It really does amaze me how flat it is, but when you are out on a two lane highway, no one else around, surrounded by fields of wheat, it's an amazing site to behold. Just make sure that there is not a tornado in the picture!
This town of only 1574 residents were hit by a big tornado in May, 207. It wiped out 95% of the town buildings and commercial places. Over the last two years, the rebuild has been in progress and much is left to do. A few of the devastated homes still stand. The town had about 30 square blocks that were effected. They decided to rebuild with "green" standards, and got subsidies form Federal and other entities to do so. They even have a program on TV showing the lives of the people as they progress into the new building.
There are some quite magnificent churches on the east side of town for all denominations. The area is called Gospel Hill Churches. These churches are from the late 1800, with Sacred Heart being 1897. I talked to the priest of the Catholic church and he says they have about 20,000 members, mostly active also. Religion has not died out here, and it was those members that helped tame the town from its rough and raging life. They also tried to stop the drinking and saloons, and keep out guns.
Besides the other 2,000+ libraries he helped fund and subsidize, this is one here. It now is an administrative facility and art exhibits. Open Tues-Fri 12-5 and Sat 11-3. The outside looked very nice and preserved. The inside was not as interesting or attractive. It was constructed around 1905 with a donation from Carnegie of $8,500. The outside is still the original red brick, but the inside is now an active office facility used for daily city business, even though some of the interior has old style wallcovering and dark stained wood supports.
This church started in 1897 and is now a large complex with church, school and other facilities that Catholics would have. The inside is worth a view. I talked to the priest and they now have 10,000 members and seating for 1,500. The inside is not elaborate by European standards, but is a place for many local Catholics and relocated Mexican families to worship
