#40 Kansas City Chiefs – KIDS Zone
October 29, 2010
Recently, I was asked to purchase a KC Cheifs Cheerleading outfit for my Great Grandaughter in Houston, Texas. This was a real task, as I ran around trying to find just the right size. It was then I discovered the online store and the Chiefs website. What a great site and you will love the activities for children right down to the Fan Club. Just go to www.kansascitychiefs.com and click on the Kids Zone. Take it from there and you will have a future fan for sure. Of course, why not take your child to a game and let them experience the greatest fans on earth!

#35 Union Station
October 4, 2010
Did you know that nearly one million passengers passed through the station at the height of World War II? The North waiting room can hold 10,000 people and many returning soldiers met their loved ones under the 6 foot wide hanging clock. It was often said “meet me under the clock”. The station was closed in the 1980′s and sat empty escaping demolitian. In 1996, a bi-state tax was passed to fund the renovation and today it again is a viable place to meet for lunch, dinner, a movie, concert or special exhibit! Just like the early days, you can catch the Amtrak at the station. All aboard for a great experience. Check out the info on line at Unionstation.org or call 816-460-2020.
