Sambo's site, 11200 NW Ambassador Dr_wm

From 1981, when I came to the area, for at least half the 29 years I've been here, an old, abandoned Sambo's sat somewhere near the airport. I remember it well, from driving by.

I now know it to have been where this Conoco station and convenience store now sits, whose address is 11200 NW Ambassador Drive.

The Sambo's has been gone for quite a few years, and I thought I correctly remembered the site. In my mind, I had it on the east side of Ambassador Dr, on 112th St. I was pretty close. It was on the WEST side of NW Ambassador Dr, on 112th, on this corner, shown.

I have pulled this magnified version of some KC Sambo's locations from a Kansas City Chief's game day program, as found on Drive In Mike's flickr page. See link below for his full picture, from which I have dared to blow up this section. This is an example of where one is more excited by the text of an image, for confirmation value, than the picture portion of the image.

Mike, if you don't want me to keep this posted, let me know and I'll take it down.
