We rode the full loop on the free KC Streetcar and back down south to Union Station. Luckily, the Kansas City Fun Tours https://g.co/kgs/FvQJtT5 was getting ready to take off just as we arrived at Union Station.

The tour was great and about 1.5 hours air-conditioned. Knowledgeable guide and good driver. $25 each. The Children’s Mercy Research Tower has different colored blue windows representing the DNA of a childhood cancer that now has a cure rate of 96% thanks to their Genomic Medicine Center (they develop DNA tests to unravel the mystery of genetic diseases).

Once that was over, we looked at the lovely train station (ceiling and chandelier), bullet holes marking the Kansas City Massacre (of FBI Agents as they transferred gangster Frank Nash), walked across the Sky Walk, and skipped eating at A Taste of Philadelphia in favor of SPIN! Pizza.

That freed us to get our Friday pizza fix and enjoy Anton’s for a steak dinner. I opted for the steak soup and lobster mac and cheese. I think they waved a lobster over top the Mac and cheese. The steak soup (it was the soup of the day) was excellent and filling. Bill’s KC Strip was flavorful but fatty.

A full and fun day.
