Scenes From Kansas City
Hello to the Sodalitas Macula!
I had a pretty good trip to KC ... a very cool place. Not at first glance, however, but spend a little time there and start to appreciate what they have to offer. It is perhaps the friendliest city I've EVER been to. They have (and this comes hard for tar-heel) the best barbecue I've EVER eaten. I visited the Jazz Museum and the Negro League Baseball Museum and met "Buck" O'Neil ... a 94 year old ex-ball player who is sharp as a tack and tells great stories about playing with Jackie Robinson, "Satchel" Paige, Babe Ruth, and others.
I took a tour of the newly restored Folly Theatre, famous burlesque house where "Gypsy" Rose Lee got her start.
