For Fans of Kelly's Westport Inn
Posted: Mon Apr 03, 2023 6:16 pm
I'm in Dallas TX but grew up in KC and esp in and around the Westport area. My father often dropped into Kelly's for a beer after playing handball Saturday mornings at the KCAC. I'd hang around the front and stick my head in for the occasional Slim Jim and RC Cola.
The Kelly brothers, Pat and Kyle, wrote a book "The Poor Man's Playground" about the history of Kelly's over the last 75 years. Not sure how many copies are printed but like a lot of things they might run out and never be seen again. I am 100% unaffiliated with Kelly's or the book but it looks like a good read and a fun part of KC history.
