of his 40th set of state capitol steps...
From there, we made our way around both downtown Topeka and North Topeka, just across the Kansas River...

Charles Curtis served as the 31st Vice President of the United States under President Herbert Hoover.
He was born along the banks of the Kansas River near what is now the intersection of Curtis and Harrison Streets...
There's nothing there now but some empty green space along the river...

From Topeka, we crossed over the border into Kansas City, MO where we drove past a lot of empty and overgrown lots where houses once stood where President Harry Trumanonce took a breath, I mean, lived as a young man when he was off and working on his own...
See? Total "completist" to a fault...that'd be me over here...
We finally stopped at the Research Hospital and Medical Center where President Harry Truman died in 1972...
