Intersection of Rouse and Quincy

This is heading west on Quincy (from the back way) towards the intersection of Rouse and Quincy. Most mornings I'd be going north (like the red car) through the intersection. It's a 4-way stop sign and was my biggest issue during morning rush hour. A traffic jam could occur when everybody sitting at the 4-way stop sign were all trying to be nicer than everybody else and nobody would move... seriously. Luckily Rouse is a 4-lane street which usually made the odds of getting through much better.

The back way that skipped the train tracks

The mornings when I knew the train was going to be an issue (or it sounded like it was running late) I would leave the Pittsburg city limits and take this road - S 240th St. Heading east on Centennial, crossing a small bridge, and taking the first street to the north (S 240th St) I could get up to Quincy and head back west over to Rouse, putting me just north of where the tracks crossed Rouse.

Railroad Crossing

The railroad crossing right before the street for the apartment complex. The trains tried to stay out of town during morning and evening rush hour (they would stop right next to the apartment complex in the morning). The train tracks crossed several major streets and I remember at least 1 morning where the train was supposed to make it through town before rush hour, but broke down stretched clear across town. As the south end of town was cut off from the north end of town I spent 30 or 40 minutes trying to find a street that wasn't blocked so I could get to work.

Apartment Complex

The apartment complex I lived in while I worked down in Pittsburg, KS back in '05. I was in the 3rd or 4th building down (2nd to the last in the complex), on the south side, 2nd floor, in the west corner.

The apartment complex is off of Centennial and east of Rouse, Mt. Carmel Hospital, Names and Numbers, &... the rail road crossing. The rail road tracks are just this side of the apartment complex. Yes, it was loud when the trains went by, but they didn't bother me except for a couple mornings when the horn blared at the same time as my alarm clock was going off.

Names and Numbers

Just east past the intersection of Centennial and Rouse on the north side of the street is Names and Numbers. They make phone books similar to the Yellow Pages.

The intersection of Centennial and Rouse

Heading east on Centennial at the intersection of Centennial and Rouse. Mt. Carmel hospital sits on the south-east corner.

Heading East of The Hall on Centennial

The Hall

The only mall in Pittsburg, KS, off Centennial, is typically referred to as The Hall as it's pretty much a hallway with stores attached to it.
