Default So what else about Kansas City?

We road tripped to Kearney to Jessie Jame's home where he was born and
raised.

Also stopped at Watkins Woolen Mill in Kearney.

We then road tripped to Independence and visited the Truman Home,
Courthouse, where I got to pick up Harry S. Truman's courtroom phone. I
also stabbed at a cash register just outside the courtroom where (I guess)
bail could be set at $999.99. But when I pulled the handle and it rang and
the draw opened there was no money!

Did stop at the train station of Truman's last whistle stop and peeked
inside his train which was honestly a wreck as it stands. It's an Amtrak
stop today.

Missed finding Frank James (F J cemetery marker).

Heartland of America BUM!!!


It's too bad you didn't make it to Truman's Presidential Library --
it's one of the best. Also the National World War I Museum (only
museum in the country devoted solely to WWI). Next time!

At least you had the sense to eat at Arthur Bryant's. I hope you went
to the original location at 13th and Brooklyn.

Where else did you have BBQ? What else did you eat? There's a
sizable Vietnamese population here, so there's some really terrific
restaurants...
