On Amtrak #316 from KC MO back to STL after a weekend away, just curious if anyone else here was on it at the moment. Just getting ready to pull into Jefferson City in about 15 minutes perhaps.

I highly recommend KC as a weekend getaway, especially Union Station and the Crown Center downtown.

That's all.
 
Visited KC a few times when my dad worked there. Sadly, I never knew about either of those places... I did love the area though. The man made water ways and the lighting was spectacular.
 
There were so many fountains around the downtown center area, really neat. Saw the Union Station outer wall where Pretty Boy Floyd gunned down some FBI agents trying to free Frank Nash who has escaped a couple of years earlier from prison (he was being transported back to prision by the agents). There are several bullet holes in the outer wall still, although at that time FBI agents were not allowed to carry guns, however after that incident a measure was passed to allow them to. They were essentially sitting ducks. Nash was inadvertently killed in the ambush.
