Main Street U.S.A.

October 29, 2003 | 5 Comments

While the lofts, art galleries, and restauraunts make Downtown KCMO the hottest spot in the metro area lately, we also have a surprising number of smaller downtown and main street areas scattered throughout our suburban sprawl. Besides the usual suspects like Brookside, Westport, and Waldo in southern KCMO, many suburbs still retain their original town centers…

  • Independence, MO Square – Harry Truman, the pioneer trails, and an emerging restuarant scene.
  • North Kansas City, MO – Northtown’s Armour Rd. is a classic Main Street with shops and restaurants.
  • Lee’s Summit, MO – shops and train depot.
  • Parkville, MO – gourmet restaurants, antiques, brewery, college, and rivefront park.
  • Liberty, MO – Jesse James, courthouse square, restaurants, and antiques
  • Weston, MO – antebellum Missouri River port with antiques, restaurants, and a great Irish pub.
  • Mission, KS – Johnson Drive boasts a genuine hardware store, movie theater, butcher, etc.
  • Overland Park, KS – Shops and farmers market in the heart of Johnson County’s sprawl.
  • Excelsior Springs, MO – home of the historic Elms Hotel and the Hall of Waters spa.
