Let’s just say I didn’t appreciate the history that is Parsons, KS as I was growing up there. It took moving away, finding my personal style and asking a lot of different people how Parsons came to be.

My last five visits to Parsons have included me driving through the in historic homes in awe of the Queen Anne, Folk Victorian and Colonial Revival architecture.

Gosh, they’re just fucking gorgeous and some are abandoned! Take a look!

Once I was done daydreaming about my future I started in on my other favorite pastime – nostalgia – and drove by the house I grew up in. On the way I also saw my favorite liquor store, the location of my DUI arrest and other places from my youth that still make me smile and cringe.
