Do most teams stay at the Intercontinental? I know we are staying there with Toronto this weekend (stepson plays) but we lost our media guide and I'm impatient in waiting for another. I will be back thru there third week of June with some friends and wondered if San Francisco will be staying there also. Guess I could find out this weekend and book then but as I said...I'm impatient...and want to go ahead and book...

Hi

Im coming to Kansas City in August. planning to stay at a motel 6 that is about 7 miles from the stadium, down I 435. How much will a taxi ride cost from there to the stadium?

I am on a very tight budget and normally stay in hostels when traveling, but kansas city doesnt have any hostels. If anyone knows of any real cheap hotels or motels in KC please let me know. I dont mind if its a little dirty, just as long as I wont get stabbed or robbed. Thanks

does anyone remember the old water way by the union station and underground?

A group of us are traveling to KC this weekend. What are some good bars or dance clubs with a great atmosphere? Anyplace else you can suggest to us is appreciated. Thanks!! :)

Wanna Meet Friends in Kansas City in December

Well, it's almost a sure-thing; I'll be taking a quick road trip to Denver from Nashville, TN at the end of May (including Memorial Day weekend).

My travels will take me on Interstates 24, 57, 64, and 70. Approx. 2500 miles r/t and I'm going to try to do it in five days or fewer. Whew! I'm pooped just thinking about it.

Are there any "must-see" places you know of on or near that route?

Anyone want to meet me for lunch (or something), or just wave as I drive by?

General

We are trying to pick someplace fun to go out to dinner for my Birthday. I have only lived in KC for a couple of years and I am not sure where a good place is to go. We will have 5 couples in their mid to late thirties. We are not wild people. We want someplace to sit and casually have conversation and dinner and maybe a band performance in the backgroud??? Suggestions??? We would like to stay in the Johnson County area (Overland Park, Shawnee Mission, Leawood, Olathe)

I'm going to be about 1 mile west of downtown KC,MO. what is this neighborhood like? Run down? high crime?

859 Benton Blvd.

Hi - need some advice on Public Transport!
I'm flying to Kansas City (MCI) early April, arriving fairly late in the evening. I'm looking for a hotel that is near to the airport (within say 5 or 6 miles) but convenient to a bus route as I need to get downtown (greyhound station) next day I'm happy enough paying one set of cab fare from aiport to my hotel, but early the next day, being on a downtown bus route would be a major help as another run on the cab fare could get rather expensive and leave me needing a second mortgage!
Any ideas?!
I located the Metro North Mall, which seems to be served by buses. Is that a possibility?
I'm a Brit, so car hire is not an option I'm looking at to be honest!

Hi
Is it reasonably straightforward to get the shuttle bus to Junction City? My ultimate destination is Abiline, KA but don't drive so can't hire a car and am relying on public transport from Kansas City International to Abiline.

My flight arrives about 7pm, should I stay overnight in the airport/vicinity and hold off trying to get a shuttle bus til the following day? I don't wanna get stuck in Junction City if there's not likely to be somwhere cheap & safe to stay. Am not sure how long the trip will be from the sirport tio Junction City? ditto from Junction City into Abilene?

Any help would be very much appreciated :)

I will transfer in Kansas City at night , if my train is not on time , I have to over night in Kansas City , if anyone can recommend me a nice and safe hostel or b&b close to train station , will be a very big help ~!! thank sss in advanced ;D

This will be my first time to KC. I have 3 days to spend there and was wondering what the best area and/or hotel would be to stay in. I will not have a car so I really need to be in walking distance to shopping, touring, and nightlife. Can you offer any suggestions?

My sister is moving to the Kansas City area for a job. Can someone suggest cool neighborhoods for a young single professional (KS or MO)? She wants to buy a small house, preferrably something older (20's to 40's build).

Zip codes would be helpful, as she's been looking online. Thanks!

First, sorry about the cross-posting this question to both KCK and KCMo forums, but I wanted advice about both sides.

My wife, toddlers, and I are thinking about moving back to Kansas City. I grew up in Overland Park, but haven't lived there for almost 20 years now. Ideally, I'm looking for a good middle class income community with new development, young families, and good schools. My parents live in Leawood, but that's too expensive and seems a better fit for older families or retirees (like them).

Can anybody suggest good growth locations that would be within 30 minutes of Leawood? How is Olathe doing now? I hear that Lee's Summit has had a growth boom, too. We're visiting later this summer to look around so any insight would be much appreciated. Thanks!

My husband and I will be in Kansas City for 2 nights (weekend nights). One night we are going to a Royals game. We are staying right near the stadium.

1.) What are some good nightlife spots to hit? We are big drinkers (beer) but hate clubs (dancing).

2.)Are there any good sports bars, or laid-back-beer-drinking kind of bars?

3.)Any recommendations where to eat a great meal? Nothing fancy, just someplace that has great food like steaks, wings, ribs, etc?

4.)What are some cool places to drink after the game? Maybe a place with a live band? Would prefer hearing some good rock music, classic rock, etc.

5.)Any cool outdoor drinking spots? (We'll be there in August)

6.)Any cool things to do during the day (touisty things that are a must see)?

Thanks so much for your help!
