Corrections[edit]

In addition to making the article more in line with Wikipedia's standards, I have corrected several factual errors. According to the City of Kansas City's official map of the registered neighborhoods, the western border of Pendleton Heights is not The Paseo, but actually extends all the way to I-35/29. As well, Pendleton Heights - a "planned subdivision" - clearly is not the oldest specifically residential neighborhood in Kansas City. That distinction belongs to Quality Hill, which is not a planned, platted subdivision, but rather is an organic neighborhood that predates the incorporation of Kansas City itself (and includes structures from as far back as the 1850s), as noted by its French provincial-style red brick architecture (in the same vein as St. Louis's historic Soulard neighborhood). When Pendleton Heights was planned in the 1880s, many traditionalist Kansas City socialites (mostly living on Quality Hill) decried Pendleton Heights as being too ostentatious and "nouveau riche" (also note that the entire neighborhood of Quality Hill is on the National List of Historic Places, whereas Pendleton Heights has no such distinction). Accordingly, I have clarified Pendleton Heights's status in the article. 65.28.2.218 18:05, 2 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
