Miles, nice trip report. I agree with your assessment on KC, I used to go there regularly for meetings at the crown center across from union station. This was before the streetcar was built, rode on their BRT to the country club shopping area, and then to end of line at Waldo. LOTS of evidence of the old streetcar lines, made into bike path. You need to check on google earth, unless the new line has obliterated the old stuff . I just checked, atWornall rd & W74th terrace can see track in satellite view. Agree that the downtown is very interesting. I was really getting to know area then my professional organization quit hold meetings in KC! Bummer. Want to go back see the streetcar. Also , since you’re a diner guy, check out ‘town topic’ a tiny, really cool oldie, visited by presidential candidates etc. Also in the crown center, at least their used to be a bagel place in an old interurban car.
