Staycation at P&L

Post by ignatius »

I overhead a woman in her 50s on elevator at work discussing a 'staycation' at P&L that she and her husband did this weekend.  I didn't catch everything but the gist of it was, they saw Fleetwood Mac at SC, booked a hotel room, did City Market Sat Afternoon, saw movie next night, went to Howl at Moon, picked up booze/eats at Consentinos and took it to their room.

She was pretty enthusiastic about it, 'one of our best vacations'.  Was talking non-stop.

A trend?  Maybe it should be.  Maybe also take MAX to Plaza/CC/Union Station/Liberty Memorial to fill in daytime activities.

P+L is becoming a very nice leisure stay for someone from the Midwest. Compare it to Village West... 8)

Add in some storefront retail and new hotel(s) and it gets much better.

You should do a reverse staycation on Strang Line in Olathe.

Sounds like a new Cordish advertising campaign.  "P&L: Rediscover Kansas City."

Awesome...I was thinking exactly that right after I posted.  I could rent a car and everything.

Maybe someone would let you mow their lawn.
