Everyone who didn't walk, had a horse and the amount of horse poop in the streets per day amounted to several tons and you can imagine the aroma around town. When I was young, the street car went from KCK to KCMo on a bridge over the stock yards and the smell from that was horrible. I imagine horse poop was almost as bad, but more spread out.
I also read that when KCMo had its first car crash between two cars, there were only two cars in Kansas City at the time.
My grandfather's feed lot for cattle was so STINKY! And in the summer the flies were awful.
Pretty funny about the car crash ~ and all before there were bodyshops around to tow them to! Hahahahahaha!
