High Greens, Doc
This past week, local artist, and proprietor of Kansas City's West Bottoms hobby shop Doc's Caboose, Doc Snyder passed away at the age of 62.
A few days after the news came out, I stopped by to pay my respects to the shop that I've spent countless hours in over the years. Ever since I moved to the region after college, it's been my go-to shop in the region for supplies, and comradery. For those of you who have just come to know the West Bottoms recently, it wasn't nearly as gentrified 20 years ago. Doc was a trendsetter here in the urbanization of his business and studio when it came to KC, and I was more than happy to support his efforts.
This isn't to say that the shop is closing, but it certainly won't be the same without its namesake around anymore. You can visit their website here: docscaboose.biz/
As it was, I found it to be quite fitting that while I was on site, the NS 7630 rolled west by me on UP's KC Metro Sub towards 18th St. Yard. As you can tell, the shop has quite the view of the Main.
High Greens, Doc!
