This is the standard "postcard view" of the Kansas City skyline, taken from the north-facing platform immediately in front of the Liberty Memorial. The Beaux-Arts Union Station dominates the foreground, while in the background are the tall towers within the central freeway loop, ranging from the Art Deco Power & Light Building to the post-modern TransAmerica Tower.
We visit Kansas City and surrounding area frequently. I'll be adding things to this page when ever I go there. Check it again in a few months for updates. Photo is the skyline at night as taken from the Hyatt hotel we stayed at.
Cliff Drive, established in 1900, is the only Missouri scenic byway located in an urban area, passing right through Kansas City. The 4 ½ mile historic drive is also one of the shortest scenic byways in America. Natural wonders of the drive include limestone bluffs next to steep forested slopes descending to the industrial Missouri River bottoms.
The famous Cliff Drive Spring originally served the pioneer Scaritt family, in their log cabin high on the hillside above. Long ago, these pioneers kept their milk and butter cool in the waters of the spring. In 1899, the city acquired the property from the Scarritt estate. The natural spring has been through many transformations during the years. Falling into disrepair, the fountain was restored in 1959, only to be closed in 1962 due to water contamination.
Covered by earth, the scallop-shelled fountain was discovered again in the late 1980’s by a contacting company and was restored to its state today as a beautiful waterfall.
Biking and hiking are very popular along the drive and the more adventurous explorers can be found climbing along the steep bluffs of the park.
Cliff Drive is located just northeast of the convergence of Interstates 70, 35, and 29, south of the Missouri River. The byway runs from the intersection of The Paseo and Independence Avenue, through to Indian Mound on Gladstone Boulevard at Belmont Boulevard. An easy way to access Cliff Drive is from an entrance near the Kansas City museum at Benton and Gladstone Boulevards.
Most people don't know that Kansas City has the most fountains in the United States--don't ask me where I picked up this fun little fact, but it's true. Just walking throughout the city and you will have to agree.
The Blue Room Jazz Club
1600 E. 18th St., K.C., Mo. A swinging jazz nightclub exhibiting authentic artifacts and featuring KC’s finest live jazz entertainment on Mon., Thur., Fri. and Sat. evenings. Smoke free. (816) 474-2929 H
This club was built to resemble a 1930's club that was once the hottest spot in Kansas City. It is part of the American Jazz Museum - which is a really interesting museum and I suggest you see it as well and stick around the performers.
