On a hot afternoon in Kansas City, Kansas (KCK), the Wyandotte County Courthouse sits there with…read morethat solid early twentieth-century confidence. It's a 1927 building designed by the Kansas City firm of Rose & Peterson in a clean Classical Revival style that leans on symmetry, tall columns and a sense of civic permanence. Wyandotte County itself was formed in 1859 and named for the Wyandot people, whose history in the region runs deep, and KCK has always been the county seat. The city takes its name from the larger Kansas City across the river and the split exists because the Missouri River ended up being both a boundary line and a magnet for settlement on both sides, with two separate municipalities growing up independently and never merging. Inside the courthouse, most of the cases are the steady stream of county business, though the building has seen its share of notable criminal trials over the decades, especially during the mid-century when KCK was dealing with organized crime and political corruption investigations. It's a handsome structure, well kept, and worth a stop if you're already exploring downtown. It's not the flashiest courthouse in Kansas, but it carries its history well and it fits the city around it. [Review 812 of 2026 - 147 in Kansas - 25992 overall]

I had to go to traffic court today and after reading the reviews I was nervous as heck. I haven't…read morebeen to court in over 30 years so I had no idea what to expect. I didn't know you have to go through metal detectors and be searched take off youe shows. I live in Shawnee KS we don't have all that going on, but anyway if you don't have to go please don't!!!! The process is brutal and they act like your guilty to all ready just cause you there. I didn't pay attention to the makeup of the building but it looks like a ole skool museum. The judge was laid back..the courtroom wasn't professional at all they dressed like the were going to the park. I mean just hood with correction . Everything worked out thank God for Jesus paid my court cost and got outside and had a parking ticket talk about steaming hot mad. That parking woman gave every car and I mean EVERY CAR a ticket she was popping those tickets like Oprah's Favorite Things..you get a ticket..you get a ticket..you get a ticket... You all get a tickeeeeet!!!!! So beware and be careful. You would think at $35 a pop they would have working meters but oh Nooo to much like right. I gotta go pay this ticket but my business with Wydotte County is Over!!

In recognition of America's first officially recognized Juneteenth Holiday, I visited the Freedom…read moreTrail Memorial in the West Bottoms. I pride myself for knowing my way around this city, but I have never been here nor was I aware of this almost hidden location. Situated underneath the I-70 E ramp to I-35 S. is this small park that contains 2 small plazas. The Frontier Plaza which features an old Santa Fe railroad caboose; focusing on Kansas City's location of being a gateway of commerce and transportation. The Freedom Plaza showcases a 4 piece sculpture titled "Exodus Family". The sculpture rests in a flower garden and has several plaques and signs encircling the plaza to help explain the symbolism and the narrative of the Exodus Family. Each piece represents one member of a family making the exodus to freedom, Life size and made from sheet metal and industrial parts, chains, gears.... An amazing sculpture created by a local artist Edward Hogan. The park is located here because of the close location to the Missouri River just a few blocks north - which aided navigation; and the close proximity to the state-line between Kansas (freedom) and Missouri (enslavement). Although not a large, well known or highly visited memorial park; it is well worth a stop to remind us of what a pivotal and gut wrenching role our area had in the course of American history and the progression of Human Rights. Check it out!

It was a fun experience. There was a lot of yummy food, fun things to do and see, and lots of…read moreentertainment. I went on Thursday and Saturday. Thursday was a bit of a cluster but I expected that. Saturday there was still a few people and everything took about an hour to get through but that's alright. Thursday it was pretty much impossible to get food or do any activities. Two issues I had were security and how they set up the food vendors. I didn't walk through a single metal detector and I never was asked for the pass that they really pressed that everyone needed. They just let anyone in everywhere so all of the security measures were pretty much worthless. Thankfully, KC knows how to handle themselves. On Thursday night they reached capacity and shut down the different areas. So when we went to leave the North lawn to get food on the upper level, we were told that we couldn't go up there and if we left then we would be out and couldn't get back into the draft. So we stayed, however, there was one food vendor in that area and the line was 3 hours long. I was so incredibly thrilled to find a random guy selling kettle corn for the outrageous price of $12 a bag for burnt popcorn. But it was the best burnt popcorn I ever had because I was unable to get anything else except alcohol. I was able to try the food Saturday. It was ok. A lot of vendors premade the food, I'm sure to speed things up. But then you ended up with cold food. I've been to Buck Tui and I love it. But if this was someone's first time, it wasn't a good representation of it. I'm glad I went and experienced it but definitely some improvements could be made to make things smoother.
