I was in KC for the 3rd time in my career for meetings Friday and learned alot about the city and surrounding areas. Here are some of my musings. (I thought we had enough days of my news pieces, so, now some observations and fun)
1. LAND! - something we don't have alot of in CA. The freeways are not congested and although I was baffled at the left merge ramps, driving there was a pleasure.
2. Custard - Sheridan's local custard shops are not to be missed. wow.... how good can ice cream get? I had "Pumpkin Concrete" where the mix in a whole slice of pumpkin pie to vanilla custard. I am still on a sugar boost from that and it has been 3 days! :)
3. KCMO (Kansas City Missouri) is not to be confused with KCKS (Kansas City Kansas) - The best parts of downtown are on Missouri side. The Kansas side is mostly the suburbs.
4. Kansas City Airport - the building is old, small and not appealing although its size has advantages of speed. The car rental building is terrific - beautiful and huge! Plan an extra 20 min just to walk from the car return to shuttle buses.
5. The Argosy Casino Hotel is not to be missed for a meal! - this place has the best steak house and casino buffets I have seen outside of Vegas. Really very delicious and reasonable food. The sleeping rooms are comfortable too!
