Now for lunch and shopping we visited The Plaza district.
Having celebrated its 75th anniversary in 1997,
The Plaza is the oldest shopping center in the country and attracts 10 million tourists each year.
Along with some of the country’s chic-est fashions and major labels,
shoppers will find true Kansas City originals.
Modeled after Seville, Spain, one of Kansas City’s sister cities, the area features magnificent Spanish tile, piazzas, and terra cotta rooftops. The Plaza also did more than its share to earn Kansas City the title “City of Fountains.” Perched on nearly every corner, each fountain is steeped in history and has its own story to tell.
After shopping, a group of us went to see Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith.
Later that night, I noticed there was fire emanating from a large bowl atop the memorial.
Time for Dinner.
Rosedale’s - where we didn’t eat.
And Jack Stack - where we did enjoy a great meal albeit quite late in the evening.
They say you’re supposed to grab the bull by the horns, but I couldn’t reach them, so I got a hold of what I could reach.
My good friend Frank Stuppy, works for his family-owned company and we visited his KC location.
Thanks to the camera’s timer and to Frank’s generosity in letting us have so much Stuppy paraphernalia, I have a picture.
At the back door.
We had brunch the next morning after a quick visit to the Price Chopper.
George and Andrew Stuppy, their little sister Larkin was asleep.
