She worked at Martin City Brewing on the first opening night. They had about 30 minutes of being a little busy and twiddled their thumbs waiting. She has moved around since where the need arises. Boulevard Brewing has carried a little more traffic. I asked here what a drink costs at Martin City 17.00 bucks for an old-fashioned with house whiskey.
That airport isn't going to pay for itself your food in KC is going to go up in taxes. Ill just eat out in Liberty or Gladstone its just a hop skip and jump from my KCMO homestead.

I’m really not quite sure what point you are making. For one, every airport I’ve been has times of having no business throughout the day. Secondly, I’m pretty certain they didn’t build the airport with the idea of attracting locals and instead are planning on having more flights and layovers. If you aren’t happy with the prices that’s just the way airports are. No surprises here.
