If you like to shop, head to the Plaza. It is a beautiful area with practically every store imaginable. What I like best is that you walk outside rather than your traditional mall, and so it is easy to take in the city's atmosphere. This pic is of my friend Allison and I taken in the plaza--we couldn't resist as we were walking around shopping.

Smithville Lake
After consistent flooding, on July 13, 1976, at 8:30 a.m., The Little Platte River was diverted from its normal course to permit construction of the Smithville Dam. By 1982, the lake was filled and was soon providing not only a water source for Kansas City, Missouri, but also a 7,000-acre recreational area for an estimated 1.9 million visitors each year. Smithville Lake has over 175 miles of shoreline offering excellent boating opportunities. There are two full-service marinas offering boat and slip rentals, bait, fuel, both patio and indoor dining and live entertainment. Slips, moorings and dry sail facilities may be rented through the Clay County Parks office. There are beach areas at both Little Platte and Camp Branch with plenty of room for water activities and sunbathing. Facilities include shower and changing rooms. The southern half of the lake basin is available for water skiing and innertubing on a year round basis. The fish are biting at Smithville Lake! Tiger musky, walleye, largemouth bass, crappie and several species of catfish were originally stocked.
This was once a main distribution point for Santa Fe RR and they helped build the town. Today, with decline of rail traffic, it is just a country town for rural to come to town once in a while. Not much here any longer, but the marble shop and caboose tour information center. One standout in town is a subdivision called Lake of the Forest. It used to be a way stop for the railroad and put up tourists for the night before going east/west in 1920-40's They had a hotel and eating quarters. Later in 1940-60's people built around the lake and there are 50-70 homes that come from that era and like going back in time
Despite the number of walking districts, Kansas City is an American city; therefore, a car is essential. I got stuck with a minivan at Thrifty, so believe me, if I enjoying tooling around the very hilly city in a Chrysler Town and Country, imagine how much fun a real car would be!
