If your at all interested in urban planning, then wait for these pics to load and visit this place sometime...
The Country Club Plaza is a large urban mixed use district. Tens of thousands live in the area, there are several hundred shops and restaurants, many entertainment options, a river walk, horse carriages, river walk boat tours, rubber trolley tours, sidewalk performers, theaters, large museums and universities are also nearby. Dating back to the 1920's, the area was developed as the country's first "suburban" auto oriented shopping center and fresh land five miles south of downtown Kansas City, Missouri. It is now a fascinating urban district modeled after Seville Spain. The area is constantly being copied by urban planners, but the history, architecture and urban feel is very unique to KC. It's our pride and joy and our secret.
