I have good memories of these places:

1. Metro North, the pics now are sad to see. Also Antioch Mall. No idea if it is still there.

2. Arrowhead, where we had season tickets during the 70s, plus saw some great concerts there (a couple of Summer Jams - I remember telling my boss I was sick so I could see Heart and The Cars and I forget the other bands).

3. Royals Stadium as it was called then, where we went to several games a year, plus one Summer Jam (Kansas, Steve Miller, Eddie Money and a young Van Helen).

4. Municipal Stadium where we went to a few Royals games (Lou Pinella era) but no Chiefs games - although my father was at the longest game.

5. Worlds of Fun, where my junior high school classes went each year during the summer - riding the rides with a couple of girls. Good times. Oceans of Fun didn't exist yet.

6. Watching the Kings play the 76ers at Kemper Arena. Nate Archibald played for them then. Saw a lot of concerts there in high school too.

7. Memorial Hall in KCK, where I saw several concerts, including Rush, Molly Hatchet and the Outlaws, Charlie Daniels, and Journey, Montrose and Van Halen on their first tour.

8. Municipal Auditorium - saw Eric Clapton there. Also nearby at Bartle Hall where we always went to the Sport and RV show every year. And car shows.

Most of the other places are long gone. The restaurant I worked in, torn down in the 80s, etc.
