from Ireland. The women were domestics and the male was a carpenter. I wonder why so many Irish went there. The all became citizens as I am sure the people at Brown's have too. What pathetic idiots would target that store.

... because a large part of KC was originally built by the original Irish immigrants here (one Bernard Donnelly in 1857). Donnelly had experience in civil engineering and stone cutting - Kansas City was built on the bluffs overlooking the Missouri River. The local Irish became very influential in politics, religion and organization in Kansas City, and that was very attractive to a large number of Irish immigrants pouring into the United States. The East Coast was becoming overcrowded, and Chicago and Kansas City were viable alternatives to a population of people too poor to buy land.

My Irish ancestors settled here in the 1880s and have lived here ever since.

My family came over in 1901 so the women may have been domestics for the Irish who came before. The women eventually moved to the Seattle area and the woman my great-aunt worked for in Kansas City would visit her. I bet she was Irish too!
Thanks - I always wondered what the draw was, so I'll tell my siblings and adjust the family history narrative my cousin wrote up.

I lived in kc. Lovely shop with lovely owners. But second, what the actual fuck. Who exactly is it that thinks they own America? Far as I can tell the Irish are very white people. So who is it douche bags? The English? Germans? Italians? Native Americans? My vote goes for native Americans but I doubt they did this shit. Good God

If the Irish are not welcome than who is??? They've been here nearly as long as every other European settler!!!!!!!!!!

Unless a native american did this (not likely) i don't know who thinks this makes any sense..............

to remember what it meant to millions of Irish Catholics when John Kennedy was elected President.

He was the first and remains the only Catholic President in history, despite the fact that the Catholic Church is the biggest single Christian church in the country. (Or the world.)
