Kansas City Streetcars their Beginning and end The K.C. Shuffle Bennie Moten & his K.C. Orch
Kansas City streetcars from the early 1900's to their end 6-23-1957. Kansas City had one of the finest streetcar systems in the U.S. covering many miles in the city. The city sadly ended their service on 6-23-1957. Streetcars were introduced to Kansas City in1870. The PCC type streetcars began roaming Kansas City, Missouri and Kansas City, Kansas in 1941 and forever dramatically changed the local Street Scene. Before the arrival of the PCC type cars, the average age of the traditional trolley cars operating on the Kansas City Public Service was thirty-two years. The new PCC cars brought Kansas City streets out of the Cowboy era and into the Space age. The sleek new aerodynamic style of the PCC cars matched that of the popular sporty Detroit automobiles. The city is now trying to bring back some type of rail system, but it can never match what they once had.

Tallahassee Automobile Museum with Lincoln's Hurst (Rare Tour By DeVoe Moore)
DeVoe Moore found his love for collecting when he started his first knife collection at the age of 9. (He's still collecting!) This love quickly grew to include cars. During his Junior year of high school, he customized his brother's 1951 Ford two-door hardtop. While still in high school he had a 1933 Ford Coupe chopped and channeled with an Oldsmobile motor. This car would outrun anything in Tampa, Florida. Then came a 1953 Mercury Monterey two-door hardtop. He and three of his high school buddies rolled this car smashing the top down against the seats. These acquisitions and activities were just the start of a lifelong passion for the craftsmanship seen in automobiles and other collections he has assembled. A furtherance of this passion is to ensure the children of today have an opportunity to visit the past, to be Wowed and evoke an interest in their own history and potential.
Born in Spring Creek, North Carolina in 1939, DeVoe Moore spent his early childhood in Greeneville, Tennessee prior to moving to Tampa, Florida where he graduated high school. His formal education started at Andrew College in Cuthbert, Georgia and was completed at Florida State University in Tallahassee, Florida. Devoe is married to Shirley McEwan. They have two daughters and six grandchildren. He has made Tallahassee his home since 1961.
DeVoe has been involved in numerous land acquisitions and has been self-employed with various businesses over the years. Some of his businesses have included Fleet Supply, Inc., Florida Georgia White Truck Sales, ABAC Auto Parts, Baker Alford Auto Parts, Certified Automotive Warehouse, Airport Industrial Park, Fort Knox Storage, Cross Creek Golf Course and the Tallahassee Automobile Museum.
Through the years, he has served and continues to serve the local community through his involvement in many different organizations, his church and serving as a Board Member of various community foundations and has been honored in a variety of ways by various organizations.
Some of the most recent honors include, helping to establish the DeVoe L. Moore Center in the College of Social Sciences in 1996. The Center's purpose is to help students study how government rules and regulations affect free enterprise and property rights. He has also provided numerous endowed scholarships to assist athletes and other students.
In 2005, he received an Honorary Doctor of Humane Letters Degree from Florida State University as recognition of his personal achievements and his generosity toward generations of young people seeking a higher education.
In 2009, the East Coast Drag Times Hall of Fame inducted DeVoe into the prestigious group of people who participate in motorsports racing. He was honored for his contribution to the motorsports heritage through the museum.
In 2010, DeVoe was honored to have the University Center building named after him as part of the expansion of Doak Campbell Stadium at Florida State University.
In 2012, DeVoe was inducted into the Florida State University Athletic Hall of Fame for his gracious contribution to the University and Athletic Department, inspiring others to do the same.
In DeVoe's spare time he enjoys working his farm which includes water buffalo and goats, working his pastureland, and speaking to community groups and associations about free enterprise and the museum. In addition to these interests, DeVoe's businesses could certainly be considered 'hobbies' to him.
Around Kansas - Luther Haden Dummy Taylor, Famous Pitcher from Oskaloosa - July 5, 2017
(Frank) We’re back again. This is Around Kansas. I’m Frank; she’s Deb. It’s Wednesday again, and we’re into July. We’re in the good old summer time: baseball, hot dogs, and all of that. The next story is going to be about another baseball player, very famous one from the state of Kansas. He was deaf. You know how the catcher will give the pitcher signs? Dummy Taylor, that’s who the story is about, is really the one that created that because he was a pitcher. They needed to communicate. So he developed signs that the various players use. They still use them today on the field. That’s how they talk to each other. This is really a cool story about Dummy Taylor. This is a story suggested to me by Ben Coates, a player for the Topeka Westerns vintage baseball team. Luther Haden Dummy Taylor was a deaf-mute American right-handed pitcher in Major League Baseball from 1900 to 1908. He played for the New York Giants and Cleveland Bronchos and was one of the key pitchers on the Giants' National League championship teams of 1904 and 1905. In 1901, his first full season in the major leagues, Taylor led the National League by pitching in 45 games and ranked second in the league with 37 complete games. In 1904, he won 21 games for the Giants, and in 1906 his 2.20 ERA was the lowest on a pitching staff that included Baseball Hall of Famers Christy Mathewson and Iron Man Joe McGinnity. Taylor was the only successful deaf pitcher in Major League Baseball and was regarded, along with Dummy Hoy, as a role model and hero in the American deaf community in the early 20th century. In the 1900s, Taylor was reported to be the highest paid deaf person in the United States. He was also known as the comedian of the Giants teams, waving a lit lantern when an umpire refused to call a game due to darkness and coaching at third base in rubber boots when an umpire refused to call a game due to rain. In 2000, author Darryl Brock wrote the historical novel Havana Heat about Taylor's experience in professional baseball. The book won the Dave Moore Award in 2000 as the most important baseball book published that year. Taylor was born in Oskaloosa, Kansas in 1875. He was the son of Arnold B. Taylor, a farmer, and his wife, Emaline. At the time of the 1880 United States Census, Taylor was living in rural Jefferson County with his parents, two older brothers, and two older sisters. Some accounts indicate Taylor was born deaf. However, at age four, Taylor was not listed as being deaf and dumb or otherwise handicapped in the family's U.S. Census record. By age 10, Taylor was living at the Kansas School For the Deaf in Olathe. He was listed in the 1885 Kansas State Census as a pupil at the Deaf and Dumb Institute. Taylor continued to live at the Kansas School for the Deaf through his high school years. He was a pitcher for the school baseball team and participated in boxing. Interviewed in 1942, Taylor recalled he had dreams as a boy of becoming a great boxer, but his parents objected. At the time of the 1895 Kansas State Census, Taylor was living in Olathe. After leaving the Kansas School for the Deaf, Taylor began playing semi-pro baseball with a team in Nevada, Missouri. He then played at Lincoln, Illinois, and with minor league teams in Wabash, Crawfordsville, Danville and Terre Haute, Indiana. In 1897, he played for a minor league team in Mattoon, Illinois. He played for the Shreveport Tigers of the Southern League in 1898 and 1899. In 1900, Taylor began the season playing for Albany, New York. At the time of the U.S. Census in June 1900, Taylor was residing at a boarding house in Albany; his occupation was listed as a printer. In August 1900, Taylor was called up to the major leagues to play for the New York Giants. He made his major league debut on August 27, 1900. In his first game for the Giants, five Boston players tried to take advantage of Taylor's deafness by trying to steal third base. Interviewed in 1942, Taylor recalled with pride, I nailed each one. I walked over to Herman Long, the last man caught, and let him know by signs I could hear him stealing. Appearing in 11 games for the 1900 Giants, Taylor compiled a 4–3 record with a 2.45 ERA. In his second season in the major leagues, Taylor was a workhorse for the 1901 Giants. He led the National League with 43 games started and appearing in a total of 45 games. In nine seasons in the major leagues, Taylor compiled an overall win-loss record of 116–106 and 767 strikeouts. He threw 237 complete games and 21 shutouts. He had a career ERA of 2.75. Taylor was profoundly deaf and communicated on-field with his teammates in sign language. He is credited with helping to expand and make universal the use of sign language throughout the modern baseball infield, including but not limited to the use of pitching signs. Taylor was inducted into the American Athletic Association of the Deaf Hall of Fame in 1953. He was also inducted into the Kansas Sports Hall of Fame in 2006.
