The University of Missouri–Kansas City (UMKC) is a public research university located in Kansas City, Missouri, United States. It is a part of the University of Missouri System. Its main campus is in Kansas City's Rockhill neighborhood east of the Country Club Plaza. The university's enrollment is more than 15,700 in 2014.
The school has its roots in the Lincoln and Lee University movement first put forth by the Methodist Church and its Bishop Ernest Lynn Waldorf in the 1920s. The proposed university (which was to honor Abraham Lincoln and Robert E. Lee) was to be built on the Missouri-Kansas border at 75th and State Line Road, where the Battle of Westport (the largest battle west of the Mississippi River during the American Civil War) took place. The centerpiece of the school was to be a National Memorial marking the tomb of an unknown Union soldier and unknown Confederate soldier. Proponents of the school said it would be a location "where North met South and East met West." The Methodist interest reflected the church's important role in the development of the Kansas City area through the Shawnee Methodist Mission which was the second capital of Kansas.
Hospital Hill is a neighborhood in Kansas City, Missouri. The neighborhood is located between 22nd Street to 25th Street and Gillham Road to Troost Avenue. This name reflects not only the geography on which the buildings rest, but also a history of public hospitals on the same site dating back to 1870. Hospital Hill grew in concordance with the construction of local hospitals, and was further populated as the University of Missouri–Kansas City School of Medicine was established.
Truman Medical Center-Hospital Hill and Children's Mercy Hospital, along with the University of Missouri – Kansas City schools of medicine, pharmacy, nursing, and dentistry, are located on Hospital Hill.

’ve been around these fields and fires
I’ve been scorned by love’s desires
These old wheels take me across town
This is just a starting back
All the years spent watching clocks sets
Got me wondering, spinning around.
All I want is to keep on watching
These scenes and easy miles as they’re calling
And you in the front seat
The sound of falling
As the world goes by
These windows I just want to keep watching
We headed off to inri
We Watched stellers on the balcony
From our fenced in little backyard
You said that times were getting though
And I said yes they are my love
But you can rest now I’ll keep guard
All I want is to keep on watching
These scenes and easy miles as they’re calling
And you in the front seat
The sound of falling
As the world goes by
These windows I just want to keep watching
Yeah, oh woo oh hey yeahh
In my shirt pocket I carry these dreams and
There is a certain twilight seems
But sometimes I get lost with all the other things
There’s a light post across the street that
Gives off thin light blue-ish green
And I wonder; have we heard the reckoning?
The reckoning….
All I want is to keep on watching
These scenes and easy miles as they’re calling
And you in the front seat
The sound of falling
As the world goes by
These windows I just want to keep watching
All I want is to keep on watching
These scenes and easy miles as they’re calling
And you in the front seat
The sound of falling
As the world goes by
These windows I... oh yeah-y yeah
