Loved seeing Kansas City through your view guys. In every downtown area, the street musicians are my (dellynn) FAVORITE part!! But I’ve never seen a legit piano in the street. How cool!!!
Thanks for the "love letter" to Kansas City! I'm KC born & bred, and there are so many great places to go and things to see here. But so few people think about even coming here!
Thanks for showing the fountains. My grandad had a place on Lake Lotawana when I was growing up. We did our family summer vacation on Grandad's place. Traveled into KC many times. Those fountains were always a memory of mine.
I've only encountered Kansas once in this lifetime, and as a Canadian it was definitely different than what we're use to, and that was the time I bought a pickup truck in Houston Texas, and drove it home to here in southwest British Columbia, Canada! The only thing I can remember of Kansas was the LONG interstate freeways, where in many places you couldn't see the end, as it just went off into the sunset. Stayed overnight at a location at some exit, and the next day it was excessively windy, and apparently you have a lot of 'corn growers' in KC, and the husks from the plowed fields where blowing across the interstate hitting the side of this newer truck I had just bought, and I could see vehicles on the other side of the interstate with the grills on the vehicles completely covered in corn husks! I stopped once to check my own grill and radiator, and pulled out a few, but mine wasn't near as bad as many I had seen....so, 'corn husks' is my memory of Kansas! Thanks for the video, and I'm still waiting for more tours, wherever that might be, but on your e-bikes, as I have one ordered, and would like to learn more about the 'tips & tricks' you two might have on how you're liking them, the safety aspects and if you've chosen to adjust any of the optional changes on some of the Himiway video's out now? Stay safe you two, and I look forward to your future antics!!
Thank you for watching & yes - in Kansas we say we don't worry about the wind unless it stops that's when we get concerned (in the spring when it's still lol). More adventures and tours coming soon - thanks for hanging with us!
I was always leary of visiting KC because of St.Louis. I appreciate you showing us your town. KC is back on my list to visit for sure. St.Louis was.....well lets just say it was an experience.
That was a very fun, interesting tour of KC!! I knew virtually nothing about your lovely city!! But, now I see why so many people are relocating to your state!! Thx, Todd and Sheila!!!
You guys made me homesick! I didn't realize how much I missed KC until I watched this video. We're coming back in a few weeks and Joe's Kansas City is always one of our first stops to eat. The Z-Man sandwich is a must! Hope you do a part 2 tour of KC. Really enjoyed this! Thanks.
This was an informative video! We have family in that area and had no idea how much we didn't know until we watched this. As usual, you guys nailed it! Thanks for always brightening up our evenings! :)
I love history actually I taught history, so I guess that’s why I really like it! Thank you so much guys it’s kind of cool to see your city and what you like about your city and what there is to do in Kansas City I have a girlfriend lives outside of Kansas City who moved away from me about five years ago I think someday I’ll get there to visit her and get to see your beautiful city!
I used to work for a dental office that was also an art Gallery in the Cross Roads. I loved working in downtown. I love how you showed the off the beaten trial sites in KC. Some of my favorites. I love my adopted town here in the Midwest! #CarolinaGirlInInTheMidwest
I'm commenting. Hearing ya'll talk about all the BBQ there was fun. I used to visit family in Olathe, and we would go to either Lawrence or Topeka to a place called Bodey's BBQ. It was my favorite. Now I would say Jack Stack. I hope you guys are having fun. Have blessed travels.
Barbeque, I have been to Jack Stacks and Arthur Bryant's. I am not a big barbeque enthusiast, but I have been to those two. The meat is good to me with or without the barbeque sauce!
Thanks for the tour guys!! We are new subscribers and binged all of your videos. Picking up our new 328g soon! Our garage will hold our ebikes and our Goldwing. Hope to meet up with you someday!
@@SwitchItUpLife Hugo's cellar is just a nice steak house under the Four Queens. It being in a dungeon type place reminds me of the place you went. But the place you went is even cooler, even more mysterious! Hugo's cellar may be more well known by now. My wife and I went there once when we were about 23ish....probably about 23 years ago. Wowza! Time sure does fly!
Hopefully sometime soon - we opted to be closer to get to our kiddos while back in KC....but back on the road soon and will have some water locations soon
I so enjoy your videos! Thank you for sharing. My husband group in Kansas City and we have been to the places you shared but we learned things too. Safe travels?
I can personally attest that Swordfish Tom's is a great place. They weren't really an 'original' Speakeasy, but it's got a nice vibe with great drinks. They do have a Facebook page, but otherwise do not advertise, it's only word of mouth. The history behind KC, prohibition, Tom Pendergast, etc is quite interesting. In addition to the Majestic, the Milwaukee Deli is another local shop with prohibition significance. It was the site of the first delivery of beer back to KC after prohibition ended. The moment was captured in a photo (which is now wallpaper in the shop) showing the clydesdales outside and several politicians. In the windows of the shop, you can see bottles of spirits, as a F-you to the politicians showing that KC was never really dry.
Ok, this will freak Todd out. I have lived in KC and Ashland (between Jefferson City and Columbia), both on the Missouri River. Lots of publicity in KC that women were missing. There was not a lot of information because the women were on tough times. Later a friend of ours was fishing just upstream from Jefferson City and unfortunately caught one of the women. It was so sad but it led to authorities to be able to track currents and ultimately catch the murderer. I love KC and it’s history. Thanks for sharing
I loved your tour. Made me think of my daughter. and what?no Jones BBQ on the list? we ate there when I visited my daughter who lives in KCMO. Arrived before it opened and there was already a line. Sold out before noon. I loved seeing them on Queer Eye. Cool story. I have been to Q39 and Jack Stack. And the Nelson (daughter went to KCAI and worked at the Nelson).
Great review! Learned so much. When do they typically turn on the fountains all around the city? I’m planning a day trip in March and hoping to see some.
Wow, I’m in Liberty on the border of KC and haven’t been to most or any of these places. Well, been to crown center maybe 20 yrs ago. Idk why, but the drive thru KC makes me feel claustrophobic and why I always avoid it. Parking can be a pia too. KC on the Missouri side extends out for miles. I didn’t know they did kayak events on the Missouri River. I may need to look into that. I love kayaking! Thanks for sharing! Ps my oldest son lives and works near downtown kc. His house is one of the few places I know how to get to 😂.
Wish you both all the best. 3 videos per week, incredible, no one else on RUclips does that, your efforts are greatly appreciated. I always look forward to seeing your content cause I always learn something new every time. Thanks 👍👍👍
My mother use to say, tongue in cheek, that the Missouri river was actually the longest river in the world, just because it made a right turn in St Louis... After all, Missouri River you could navigate much further than the Mississippi before they joined. 🤣
Best bbq in KC = Crazy Good Eats, K&M or Q39 for sure. I’ll fight for those 3 anyday 😂 I’m surprised y’all didn’t go to P&L ... dad could have got a couple lemon drops! Lol
This is a North Face jacket - you should be able to find it at a North Face outlet - if you are talking with the logo on it we hope to offer jackets this fall.
Love the guy playing the piano it is well with my soul
Very much enjoyed how you shared Kansas City! Can hardly wait for Sunday! 🖖🏻👍🏻🙏🏻😘

At the beginning at Parkville, I’ve tooted my horn at that crossing hundreds of times in my railroad career. KC is a great place to explore.
Amazing to see all the things off the beaten path. Looks like a person could spend days just on those things alone. Thanks for the tour!
We lived in Kansas City Oviedo 20 years ago. We loved it!
Great city for sure!

You two are great KC ambassadors. Thanks for the tour.
I was always leary of visiting KC because of St.Louis. I appreciate you showing us your town. KC is back on my list to visit for sure. St.Louis was.....well lets just say it was an experience.
I used to love going to West Bottoms! Good walk around. Love you guys
Looks like a lot of fun things to do!!🤗

Loved the tour. Great insight to your area. Looking forward to more. Thanks Guys!!!
Cool video thanks for sharing definitely some interesting looking buildings definitely love some BBQ.
Years ago we took shelter in the WW1 museum while at a church conference. Tornado was in the area. Very nice facility.

Commenting. Thanks for the good information.
Great video, thanks for sharing all about KC.
Thanks for watching!
Enjoyed your tour! Really can’t wait to visit KC.

The last time I was in KC we ate at Joe’s BBQ in the gas station. A really cool experience! A little cramped but all part of the experience.
so good.....thanks for watching
This was an informative video! We have family in that area and had no idea how much we didn't know until we watched this. As usual, you guys nailed it! Thanks for always brightening up our evenings! :)

A fun trip around your home town. We’ve never been. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for watching!
Wait around for you to release a new video, so we can laugh.. love it.
I can see why you love it there! Very cool place😊
It really is!
Thanks for another fun video. Blessings
Thank you! You too!
Hi from the Emahizer's. We thought that alot of the culture and places commonly unknown within KC were really neat. Thanks for another cool video.
Thanks for watching!
I love history actually I taught history, so I guess that’s why I really like it!
Thank you so much guys it’s kind of cool to see your city and what you like about your city and what there is to do in Kansas City I have a girlfriend lives outside of Kansas City who moved away from me about five years ago I think someday I’ll get there to visit her and get to see your beautiful city!

That's in Kansas. Kansas City is another state
Another WWII Museum, is in Fredericksburg, TX (Pacific Theater) Also, extremely interesting like the one in New Orleans...
I think said WW 1. Museum
We were just in Fredericksburg, TX. Only our 2nd visit. Great museum! Can't believe all the wineries that have been added.
Barbeque, I have been to Jack Stacks and Arthur Bryant's. I am not a big barbeque enthusiast, but I have been to those two. The meat is good to me with or without the barbeque sauce!
Thanks for the tour guys!! We are new subscribers and binged all of your videos. Picking up our new 328g soon! Our garage will hold our ebikes and our Goldwing. Hope to meet up with you someday!
Awesome! Thank you for being a member and new subscriber!! Welcome to our crazy journey we are so glad you are here!
We enjoyed your video so much on KC and by the way our home is exactly one mile west of the JC Nickels fountain. Keep them coming!
That is awesome!
The road is calling you!!!
Soooooonnnnn!!
We love LC’s
That was a pretty cool place! It kind of reminded me of Hugo's cellar under the Four Queens in Vegas, but even more secretive!
Well now I'm curious about this Hugo's cellar - gonna have to check it out the next time we are in Vegas!
@@SwitchItUpLife Hugo's cellar is just a nice steak house under the Four Queens. It being in a dungeon type place reminds me of the place you went. But the place you went is even cooler, even more mysterious! Hugo's cellar may be more well known by now. My wife and I went there once when we were about 23ish....probably about 23 years ago. Wowza! Time sure does fly!
I've stayed at the Sheraton right there behind you several times. Went for a walk around Union Station.
Thanks for coming along on our journey!
It would have been great to see you camping along the water
Hopefully sometime soon - we opted to be closer to get to our kiddos while back in KC....but back on the road soon and will have some water locations soon
I so enjoy your videos! Thank you for sharing. My husband group in Kansas City and we have been to the places you shared but we learned things too. Safe travels?

Enjoyed KC. Thanks
Glad you enjoyed it

"When peace like a river attendeth my way"......That guy crushed it. So bittersweet
In KC bbq goes moo. Down south it goes oink.....
Hope to visit KC some day!

Still doin’ all the things!😎👍🏼
Thanks Rick for doing all the things!!
Your posse friends seem really awesome!
They are some of the best people I know :-)
Damn! That’s a lot of BBQ places! I must make it a point to visit to try a few out…
Born and raised there and have yet to ever see the Steamship Arabia Museum. Been in the Old Market (River Market) a million times. :-(
Ohhhh I think you need to visit it!
Doing all the things ✌🏼
Thanks Dawn!
Great tour! You made us very interested in visiting Kansas City!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Can't wait to share this with a Y member heading to KC this summer
Love KC! ❤️
Switch it Up for Todd and Sheila!
First to comment.
Sheila, leave it in the list and make Todd do it!
You need to travel to Yankton SD where you can swim in the Mo river.
Anything in SD sounds like cold water......am I incorrect in that assessment?
@@SwitchItUpLife yes it's cold I'm sure but my Dad and son loved swimming in the river, but my dad used to swim in the old muddy by St Joe.
Great review! Learned so much. When do they typically turn on the fountains all around the city? I’m planning a day trip in March and hoping to see some.
been awhile but got #1!! see you sunday!
I love this city!!! ❤️
We do too! Such a great place - the only thing that I am not a fan of is the weather!!

Romantic Todd. I knew it. 😂
He hides it well --- lol
I need to visit KC. I love good bbq
Have you ever heard of Jack Daniels barbecue competition that goes down in my hometown Lynchburg Tennessee
Now that would be tasty-- we do enjoy Tennessee and Texas BBQ as well....just don't tell all my KC BBQ friends
Great video. Cya in Georgia.
Looking forward to it!
Brisket. Love us some brisket.
Fantastic video!
Wish you both all the best. 3 videos per week, incredible, no one else on RUclips does that, your efforts are greatly appreciated. I always look forward to seeing your content cause I always learn something new every time. Thanks 👍👍👍
So enjoyed this Vlog!! We are heading that way in July, and I think we will spend some time in Kansas City! Can you mention a good park to camp?
We have a video on that doing a tour of the area options.....try about 2 videos before this one
@@SwitchItUpLife Thank you I will check it our!!!
My mother use to say, tongue in cheek, that the Missouri river was actually the longest river in the world, just because it made a right turn in St Louis...

Where is the West Bottoms from Old West Port? My parents went to West Port High.

I like me some Crazy Good Eats too!
Lives in KC/Olathe for 3 years trying to get back- ugh… you forgot Jose Peppers!!! 😋
Mmmm... love Jose Peppers
Wait for it
Like your jacket Todd. Where can I get it?
This is a North Face jacket - you should be able to find it at a North Face outlet - if you are talking with the logo on it we hope to offer jackets this fall.
Love the non touristy side
Thanks for watching Lee
Go Royals and Chiefs!!
We'd love to do the BBQ tour
Anthony Bourdain did a tour of KC BBQ joints a number of years ago.
Nice town
Thanks for watching
I forgot to do all the things, sorry I’m a little late.
Better late than never- we appreciate it!
Who doesn’t like bbq and fountains? 🤷🏼♀️
Right?? Hey Misti - thanks for doing all the things....we appreciate you
Jack Stack BBQ!!!
Yes!
