Hell's Half Acre

Recorded live in front of an audience, the boys tell the tale of the most dangerous neighborhood in Kansas City’s history - ‘Hell’s Half Acre’. This hellacious neighborhood was in the West Bottoms - almost exactly where the Black Box and West Bottoms Whiskey sit today! The neighborhood had it all: filth, sex, violence, and more. Living in literal shacks, the residents of Hell’s Half Acre tried to carve out a life in Kansas City. Join us as we talk all about murders, pickpockets, highwaymen, and more!
