These were goodbye pix to a town I thought I'd not see for a long time in 1990

I had joined the Air Force, and was scheduled to leave in the middle of June 1990. I figured I wouldn't be seeing KC for a while, and I'd miss my home town, so I thought I'd take some pictures and have them developed to take with me. I didn't get them until the end of boot camp. These were taken with a throw away panoramic camera. The quality is pretty low and some came out not even in focus. I spent way too much money to get these but I remember the time I had riding around on my Kawasaki motorcycle taking these pix.
