Suyen and I went to River Market Antiques.
We went to look at some things at the Antique stores in the River Quay.
13:30 - 14:30
We headed back homo. Got ready and headed out to woik.
14:30 - 17:00
I went with Meagan to the forum on light rail. This is a very signifigant event in Kansas City's history, but we, KCUR and KCPT were the only media there. I now believe the mayor of Kansas City is going to move forward with a working transportation solution for the Kansas City metro area. But the local media would rather talk about the Semler controversy, or Priest Holmes. The mayor is doing a great job and we got a sample of his style, which is actually very engaging to the general public. The forum that was held gathered a random sampling of people from the area and allowed them to engage a think tank of local leaders, including the Mayor, the ATA boss, the Johnson County Kansas transportation boss and others. The result is that this leadership is trying to engage all area metropolitan leaders to build a regional transportation system. Light rail as Clay Chastain proposed it would not work. What is needed is a regional system and for all the voters of all areas to get on board with a 3/8 cents sales tax. Parts of this meeting will be rebroadcast on PBS nationwide.
17:00 - 22:30
I headed homo to get my trolley and light rail vids from my travels to include in our story. I came back to the station and started dubbing it. I found out that Meagan's story had changed to the La Raza thing...

I started working on my nats package since I had nothing else. I went to the Hyatt, but there was no parking.

I went to the Mutual Musicians Foundation. It is odd how you can go there for the overnight jams and never know who is going to show up. Potentially, if any celebrity is visiting the area, they might come to the foundation. As the flyer on the wall said, "When Charlie Parker has played at your place, historic is an understatement." The foundation seems to be doing well now. The musicians playing were excellent.

After the foundation, I headed back. The bars were letting out and it was getting wild. There was an incident in Westport, a barfight downtown and people whooping and hollering as the bars kicked them out.
Sunday 21 October 2007 02:45:17
I grabbed a quick snapshot down this street as I was leaving the Mutual Musicians Foundation. This barbeque joint was mentioned in the movie "the Last of the Blue Devils." Count Basie would order a plate of ribs from "the Dixie Barbeque" when he came into town. Now, I'm not sure if this is Dixie San or Dixie Jam. It would almost make more sense as Dixie Jam. The sign is googie, which means it was probably put there in the 50's. The place is closed now.
03:00 - 09:00
headed homo. Suyen was mad and had me locked out of the house with all the lights off. I woke her with the doorbell and she let me in. I went to beddie and Zzzz
We got up. We headed to River Market Antiques in the River Quay.
Sunday 21 October 2007 10:43:59
Crossing the 169/Broadway Bridge into downtown Kansas City.
First we stopped at Poco's for Brunch. Suyen got to meet Mary. Mary is the waitress who works there on Sundays to help out Poco and her family. Normally, during the week, Mary works at a law firm. Mary is my favorite wait person in all of Kansas City. She always knows my name and what I want and she always is there to tell jokes and stories with her patrons.
