Ways to spend your weekends in the KC area
- Kauffman Stadium: The Kansas City Royals have discounted tickets for college students on Wednesday nights. Or go on Buck Night. The Hot Dogs are a dollar — albeit a little soggy.
- Liberty Memorial, 100 W. 26th St.: Great monument and great museum. Just be careful there at night — not that there's anything wrong with that.
- Negro Leagues Museum, 1616 E. 18th St.: This Museum celebrates an entire piece of baseball that some people forget. Rest in peace Buck O'Neil. Kansas City misses you.
Nelson Atkins Museum: Who said people in the Midwest couldn't be cultured and sophisticated?
The Country Club Plaza; When people think Kansas City, they think of this iconic shopping area. Eat your heart out, Michigan Avenue; the Plaza is the place to shop in the Midwest.
- The Power and Light District: This new hip and trendy hotspot has become the center for nightlife in Kansas City. Might want to wait until you are 21 though. Your crimson fake ID probably won't work in the big city.
- KC Scout Statue, 2698 Main St.: This one flies way under the radar, perhaps unfairly. Trek up to Penn Valley Park to look at this statue of a Sioux Indian on horseback pointing east. It's a beautiful statue with an even prettier view of downtown.
