The cafe in Union Station is a great atmosphere for kids.  The Harvey House did move into the old Union Cafe space in the middle of the Great Hall.  It has the same menu as when it was in the old Harvey House space--burgers and such.  It's two levels so the kids would like sitting on the upper level...

KU vs. ksu ----32-2 in the Big 12 era.  Nuff said!

Just want to add my own observations about the effect of the ongoing revitalization of downtown.  I live in the burbs and have always been a downtown booster as I see the core representing the entire metro.  Since the recent efforts downtown like the Sprint arena, P & L  and new housing, I conti...
