Friday Day Out for me and tanis

Tanis and I decided to have a day to ourselves and walk around the city to see the sites and just enjoy each others company. So we climbed aboard the the bus to go to Kansas City's Midtown area.

This Kansas City's newest waste of taxpayer money. It is called The MAX it is suppossedly the fastest way to get downtown. This replaces the old route that has served the main street corridor for thirty years. Taxpayers paid for new stops and buses to the tune of about a half a billion dollars. There was nothing wrong with the old Transit routes, but the city thinks that this will bring more business to the dowtown area, and increase the bus ridership. I can tell you personally that this will will be a fiscal failure for the city transit system. Wasting money to replace something that worked well is just a stupid thing to do period.

We went to breakfast at Chubby's on broadway, yum. Then we walked to the Wesport area.

Everyone thinks that St. Louis is the gateway to the West, the real gateway is at Westport this is where the pioneers provisioned the wagon trains and started their journey westward to settle the plains and all points west. The pioneer spirit resides in the Westport section of Kansas City. There are a lot of bars in this area and on Fridays and Saturdays this is the Shit hole of Kansas City. I have had made one arrest of a Crimanally Stoopid person at a Hotel I worked security for in this section of Kansas City. During the day this place is good for shopping, avoid it as a nightspot if possible.

We made our way down the Seville Plaza, lots of stores, Restaurants, statues and Fountains. Kansas city iS known as the City of Fountains. there are over two hundred fountains throughout the city. I haven't seen all of the fountains in this city yet, not that is one of my goals. I just wanted to see the sights and get out of the house with my love.


Neptune sits upon his three horses in the plaza, This is one of the sites in the plaza. one of many statues that reside in Kanasa City.


I thought that this wiould be a good picture, the Silent Talk.


This sits about twenty feet away from Neptune
.

We made our way back to The MAX stop. and towards dinner. I asked Tanis to go out with me again for a day out, doing the Same thing.
