Karnes Boulevard from 33rd Street down to Roanoke and then back up to Wyoming.

Which part?  North of Independence Avenue?  South of Truman up to 23rd street?
Around 31st street?

I personally like the part south of Independence Avenue, and north of 12th Street.

Ha, I used to live at 9th & Van Brunt.  From 1968 to 1969 and then from 1977 to 1984.  It was a little better street back then, but still kinda run down.  The Bus barn was still being used back then and Little Chef's hamburger place was still on the corner.  He made some good burgers.  Greasy good!

Not very urban but I really enjoy Wildcat Drive and Oldham Road within Swope Park.

Besides that it's the stretch of Broadway along Mill Creek.  

KC has so many fine roads it's hard to choose.

Remember the foot longs?

Yeah and my old street Valentine Road!  (Between the traffic way and the brick road)  All the roads around and through the park are great!

I like Cliff Drive and Norledge, behind KC Museum.

Ricky Road off of Noland by Little Blue is a good winding road, although I think they've smoothed out some turns since I was there last.

The Paseo

Any street name that begins with "The" is alright in my book!

Although technically I guess it's a parkway not a street.  Can we get a ruling?

Boulevard.

yeah, "Paseo" means "Boulevard"...

I know I've mentioned it in other threads, but I think Main will be one of the more impressive streets in the DT area once all of the P&L stuff opens up.  Flanked by KC's tallest skyscrapers and most attractive skyscraper (H&R Block), it's a good display of density.  Further, I imagine it being a bustling stretch of activity for most of the day once the gym, grocery store, movie theatre, Midland, and all of the retail opens up between 12th and 14th.  Throw in the President Hotel and possibly a condo tower or two in the near future, it will easily be the most heavily trafficked stretch of street in the DT area.  And, for once, that traffic won't merely be rush hour traffic.
