Insiders' Guide to Kansas City, 2nd (Insiders' Guide Series)

I've lived in Kansas City for almost thirty years and work for one of the establishments described in the book. I won't say which one because this note is about the book and especially the author, Katie Van Luchene. While her knowledge and research is impressive (who knew about some of this stuff?), her writing style really makes this book work. The individual write-ups are fantastic. My book is already dogeared, with clipped pages and highlighter everywhere. We have frequent house guests from outside the area and I will soon be experiencing some new things right along with my guests. Kansas City has so many interesting and fun assets, but no one has pulled it all together like this before. Maybe our best asset is Katie herself!

We live approx. 3 hours from KC and like to visit about once a year. This book is packed with useful information. It's a great buy even if you plan on visiting KC only once.

I am a resident of the area and was impressed with the ideas given to have a vacation without leaving the city.
