Sleuthing Series — Campus Traffic, Conversations, and Contemplation
JCCC Archives presents the Sleuthing Series, where every Tuesday, we bring you an image from our past and ask you to help us find out m0re.
A time to stop, chat, and catch up with friends, somewhere on a shded sidewalk. Mid-campus, 1995.
What we Know…
When JCCC offices and staff moved to the new campus at 111th St. and Quivira Rd. in 1972, it was already a rural oasis. As the campus grew, it became more urban and more attractive. On lovely, temperate days, most folks simply found it difficult to stay inside.
These pictures show people out and about on campus. They also show the development of campus outside spaces.
What We Don’t Know…
We don’t know exactly where all of these shots were taken, however, we can (and you can) look for little details that may start to bring the scene into focus.
If You Know More…
