“In 1961, the picture shows more commercial properties in the neighborhood – Panhandle Eastern, Interstate Securities, the Broadway-Valentine Shopping Center.” He then said, “Now in 1971, we see the layout for the Penn Valley Junior College which is going to cause a large environmental change in the neighborhood.”
After the plan was defeated, Kansas City Life continued to buy properties in the area.
Some were rented, others demolished.
On September 7, 1972, a lawsuit was filed by Cigas and six others alleging that Kansas City Life perpetrated a scheme of buying property and allowing them to deteriorate and then demolishing them leaving vacant spaces throughout the area.
The suit further charged that Kansas City Life falsely stated that the Valentine neighborhood was a blighted, unsanitary, crime-ridden, deteriorated area and as a result, homeowners were unable to use their property as security for mortgage loans.
The court ruled in favor of Kansas City Life, and the ruling was upheld on appeal.
The court cited precedence that the “defendant had the absolute right to the reasonable use of its own property” and that no evidence was presented that Kansas City Life encouraged abuse by tenants.
On April 16, 1983, 10 Valentine residents created a partnership called The Jefferson Group.
The group competed with Kansas City Life to buy homes in the area and resell them.
In 1984, Miller Nichols, Chairman of the J.C. Nichols Company, commented that he saw a need for more executive homes in the midtown Kansas City area because of plans by several developers to construct office space.
Despite the fact that the Penn Valley plan was for offices and apartments, he referenced the conflict saying, "If Kansas City Life had been encouraged by the city and the city had been willing to work with them, we'd probably have 1,000 or 2,000 homes in there."
He said, "I'd like to have the city fathers go to Kansas City Life and say, 'Look, we made a mistake.'"
Joseph R. Bixby, President of Kansas City Life, built a large Spanish-style home at 3530 Pennsylvania, across from the Kansas City Life headquarters.
One might speculate that it was a show home for such a plan, but it was actually built several years before Nichols' remarks.
When the Valentine Neighborhood Association was created, the western boundary was Southwest Trafficway, the eastern boundary was Pennsylvania Avenue, the northern boundary was 33rd Street and the southern boundary was Valentine Road.
The VNA has since expanded its eastern boundary to Broadway Blvd, and its northern boundary to 31st Street to include Penn Valley Community College.
The southern boundary was expanded to 40th Street.
The VNA successfully completed two initiatives to down-zone to single family.
The first was south of Valentine Road in 1991.
The second was for the area just north of Valentine Road in 2012.
A Kansas City Life representative testified that they supported the north Valentine down-zoning.
Regarding the referenced commercial properties: The Interstate Securities building was razed to provide more parking for the Panhandle Eastern Building.
Both the Panhandle Eastern Building (later bought by MGE) and the Broadway-Valentine Shopping Center (now called the Uptown Shoppes) began redevelopment projects in 2019 to convert them to mixed-use residential and small retail.
Kansas City Life continued to purchase properties with “no immediate plans.” They have demolished buildings as recently as November, 2019.

Graciela Bográn
Graciela Bográn (19 October 1896–2000) was a Honduran teacher, writer and women's rights activist.
Engaged in the fight for women's suffrage, she was involved in both the trade union movement and political protests.
She was also well-known as the editor of the feminist journal "Alma Latina".
After women won the right to vote, she was appointed to serve on the cabinet in the Department of Public Education.
She was elected as a member of the in Madrid in 1963 and several institutions in Honduras bear her name.
Graciela Bográn Rodríguez was born on 19 October 1896 in San Nicolás, Santa Bárbara, Honduras to Petrona Rodríguez and Marco Antonio Bográn.
The eldest of three siblings, she had a sister, Petrona "Elvira" (born 1904) and a brother, Napoleón (born 1907).
Her family descended from Romain Beuagrand (Román Bográn), a French colonel from Brittainy, who arrived in Honduras in the early 19th century, and through him was related to both presidents Luis Bográn and Francisco Bográn.
After completing her primary education, Bográn graduated from the Escuela Normal de Señoritas (Ladies Normal School) in 1914 and began working as a teacher.
In 1916, she married the poet, Rubén Bermúdez Meza and subsequently had three children: Graciela, Rubén and Roberto.
When they divorced, she married again with a North American businessman, Alvin M. Barret (also Barrett).
In 1932, Bográn founded the magazine, "Alma Latina", which became an influential feminist-political and cultural journal throughout Central America.
At the time, she was opposed to women's suffrage because of the violence associated with voting throughout Central America.
Most Honduran women in the 1920s and 1930s, were not supporters of women's enfranchisement as it did not have a historic basis in the Honduran culture, where social and economic subordination were seen more as a class struggle, or simply accepted.
This changed in the 1940s, when Bográn and other feminists saw the advantages to voting as a means to bring more democratic governance to the country.
In 1944, Bográn was accused of being a communist by the Honduran government.
Because she was working as a labor organizer in the northern part of the country, she was suspected of teaching communist doctrine as an agent for Vicente Lombardo Toledano, a Mexican Marxist labor leader.
The United States Ambassador to Honduras, John Draper Erwin, concluded after an investigation, that there was no communist activity in the country and did not classify Bográn, stating "any person who agitates for improved labor conditions is often classified as a communist".
That same year, she and Rodolfo Pastor Zelaya, a founder of the Revolutionary Democratic Party of Honduras led a pro-democracy demonstration in San Pedro Sula in protest to the arrests of citizens calling for the ouster of President Tiburcio Carías Andino.
The right to vote in Honduras was secured for literate women in 1955 and women were able to vote the following year for the first time.
Upon the election of President Ramón Villeda Morales, in 1957, Bográn was appointed to his cabinet, as undersecretary of Education.
In 1959, she was appointed to serve as the federal Secretary of Public Education.
Bográn had continued her work as an educator throughout her life and in 1963, for her service as director of the "Instituto Hondureño de Cultura Hispánica" (Honduran Institute of Hispanic Culture), she was elected to the in Madrid.
Bográn died in 2000 in San Pedro Sula, Honduras.
She is remembered as one of the leading women's rights activists and suffragists of her era.
Since 1998, the House of Culture in San Nicolás, has borne her name, as do several educational facilities.
There is a government preschool, "Centro de Educación Pre Básica Graciela Bográn" in the La Trinidad neighborhood of San Pedro Sula, and in Tegucigalpa, there is the "Colegio Graciela Bogran" in the Jardines de Toncontin neighborhood.

Reichstag Bloodbath
The Reichstag Bloodbath () occurred on January 13, 1920, in front of the Reichstag building in Berlin during negotiation by the Weimar National Assembly on the Works Council Act ().
The number of victims is controversial, but it is certainly the bloodiest demonstration in German history.
The event was a historic event from which was overshadowed two months later by the Kapp Putsch but remained in Berlin's labour movement and security forces' collective memory.
The government hoped to limit union activity by passing the Works Council Act.
The left-wing German political parties the Independent Social Democratic Party of Germany (USPD) and Communist Party of Germany (KPD) backed the workers who wanted unrestricted organizing powers.
To push their point a protest was called for on January 13, 1920, in front of the Reichstag.
The protection of the building lay with the militarily organized security police (Sipo).
Between September 1919 and January 1920, the Reich Government, which was led by the Social Democrats and in continued cooperation with the Army Command, was specially set up in Berlin to protect the existing order, because the existing Berlin police force during the November Revolution and during the Spartacus uprising had failed.
The Sipo consisted mainly of former Freikorps members and was commanded by army officers.
Numerous relatives and officers were clearly right-wing extremists.
Neither the leadership nor the police on the ground had extensive training.
Smaller Sipoverbände with machine guns were stationed in the Reichstag building, bigger front of the entrance of the building at King Square and along Samson Street.
On January 13th, starting at around 12 noon, most of the large companies in Berlin stopped working; these include, for example, AEG, Siemens, Daimler and Knorr-Bremse.
The workers moved to the inner city on Königsplatz in front of the Reichstag, but many only came to the adjacent side streets due to the crowds.
The numbers vary considerably, according to Weipert it was "at least 100,000, probably there were significantly more."
Speakers from the USPD, the KPD and the works council center made speeches.
There were several assaults on MPs on their way to the session.
After the last speech fell silent, the protesters did not leave the square.
Before the President of the Reichstag, Fehrenbach, opened at 3:19 PM, demonstrators in several places had begun to taunt Sipo men, to push them away, this quickly escalated into groups of protestors disarming and abusing the Sipo guards.
Conversely, the police fought back with the pistol blows of their carbines; but individual officers were reprimanded by their superiors for these actions.
In the meantime, the USPD MPs in the plenary either asked for the Sipo to be withdrawn from the building or for the debate to be closed.
As a result of a massive disturbance by the USPD faction, Fehrenbach had to interrupt the meeting at 3:48 p.m.
MPs who were now watching the tumult on the Königsplatz from the windows of the Reichstag were threatened with revolvers by excited demonstrators.
One person from the crowd fired shots at Portal II of the Reichstag building.
At least one police officer was hit.
Members of the metalworkers' union immediately took the gun from the gunman - apparently captured by the Sipo - and beat him up.
The majority of the demonstrators were calm anyway or even tried to prevent the police from being aggressive.
The events that followed were highly controversial among contemporaries - and still are in research to this day.
One version, represented among others by the then Chancellor Gustav Bauer, blamed the escalation on the demonstrators and especially the organizers.
According to this, around 4:00 p.m. demonstrators tried to enter the building, whereupon the Sipo on Königsplatz opened fire and threw hand grenades at the rally participants.
Independent and communists, on the other hand, emphasized that the shooting had been done for no reason and without warning.

“In 1961, the picture shows more commercial properties in the neighborhood – Panhandle Eastern, Interstate Securities, the Broadway-Valentine Shopping Center.” He then said, “Now in 1971, we see the layout for the Penn Valley Junior College which is going to cause a large environmental change in the neighborhood.”
