It was on our way to brunch when I spotted a gorgeous mural on the side of a building. So of…read morecourse, I stopped to take pictures of it. Little did I know that the building not only proudly displayed art on its outside walls, but that many were hidden within. How did I find this out? Well, while I was playing paparazzi to the mural, Dorothy (one of the partners of the art space lease) came out to chat with me and my friend and told us to "come on by." And we did...after brunch. And it was totally worth it. The space is lovely with art - ranging from still life sculpture, to lithograph prints, to pop art renditions, to local art school compositions, to gorgeous poster prints of local bands and concerts. I bought a lithograph print bag from Printosaurus and a cool, cool, cool band poster print. Not to mention, there is this artist Jake Beeson shown here who has the most amazing compositions of pop art. If I had more space in my suitcase, I would have bought a canvas or two. Both Dorothy and her partner were extremely friendly, fun to talk to and really passionate about the art in their space. They mentioned being on the First Friday's and Second Saturday's circuit, so if you live in Kansas City and have a hankering for a cool space with cool people, come on down! One of my favorite random stops this visit to KCMO (i've learned that this city has call letters apparently).

Additionally, it doesn't matter that you buy tickets online. You will then have to stand in a stupid long line to get a wristband to THEN go stand in line at your haunted house of choice. The coordinators literally just created 1 huge line that takes hours to get through for no reason. No street vendors or entertainment outside of the houses anymore. Haven't been in a few years hence why I didn't know about the armband or general boringness of the current experience but I imagine it'll be my last time.

They steal your money…read more We came in from out of town, thought we bought tickets for the 9 pm time slot and showed up 30 minutes before and there's a line to sign a waiver around the entire block despite the fact that we bought the tickets ahead of time and signed waivers online. But don't worry, we were told that they stay open until maybe 11 or midnight so it might be worth getting in line. We were told to stand in the same line as people who didn't buy tickets ahead of time. No warning of this line. They just take your money and assume you'll either give up or spend your entire night in a line an half of a mile long. Absolute joke.

There's a…read morefull farm with a active stagecoach and driver, and for a nominal fee you can actually ride in a real stagecoach which is an experience that everyone should experience to appreciate modernity. The house is fully restored and owned by the city of Olathe, marked as a national landmark. There's a functional blacksmith and lessons on particulars of blacksmithing. There is a wash station, and goats and chickens and sheep and horses and all the accompanying accoutrement. The house particularly is wonderful. The stagecoach stop was essentially like a gas station of the old world, and one would get off the stagecoach, which was like a bus, and go down into the cellar of that stagecoach house to have supper at this massive table with functioning 1850s kitchen that they use to this day to make samples in the wood fire. It's really something to see, and they even have an ice house that they tried to make functional but couldn't figure it out. Essentially a massive building where you put huge blocks of ice packed with sawdust that keep the ice Frozen for a year nearly. It's such a neat place, and the dedicated staff really commit. I would recommend anybody that lives in Kansas to go here and check it out, because it truly is living history.

They have an interactive space on the top floor, and beautiful murals in the stairwells. The museum sponsors pop ups and is worth a follow on socials to keep up with that fun schedule. There is a bar space in the basement that has happy hour from 2-5 every day. Their martini espressos are top notch, and do not get me started on their giant chocolate chip cookies. Wow! In fact, I went back to the counter to get one for the road -- they were out! But before I left, the barista ran to catch me and nabbed me a piping hot cookie straight out the oven. Worth it!

It was a little difficult to figure out how to access the place due to closed lots and such, but the Arena staff off Lot B were super-nice. We desperately needed some help with a high speed connection for a work thing. My partner in crime called and talked to Guillermo (hope I spelled it right, brother!) and he was a pro - made sure knew what time they close as it was already in the 8pm hour and didn't want to leave us hanging. Guillermo was cleaning up from the day when we got there and dropped everything to make sure we were taken care of and undisturbed. He got me plugged in immediately and we fired off what we needed to quick. The charge per hour was super-reasonable and with a free drink? Internet cafes of the 90's might be dead, but arenas like this are a godsend when you need some speed for up/down connections.
