Independence center is the inclosed mall on the Missouri side. It’s in Independence on 39th St

You're right! I actually didn't know about that until now!

Nice video, but it's impossible to show all of KC in one day. It would be nearly impossible to show all of KCMO in one day, let alone the entire metro. KCMO alone has areas you didn't mention like Hyde Park, Coleman Highlands, Union Hill, Beacon Hill, West Bottoms, West Side, South Plaza, Jazz District, Crossroads, Crown Center, Volker, Westport, West 39th, UMKC, Quality Hill, Red Bridge, Swope Park (Zoo, Starlight), I mean I've barely scratched the surface of the metro here. You even missed a lot in the Northland. Briarcliff, Line Creek corridor, Tiffany Springs, Riss Lake. KC is just a big place to put into one video! If I ever moved back to KC, I would live in south plaza or brookside. Those are really the only areas I would consider.

Oh yeah! Totally right. I had a really ambitious video planned and then I started and realized that I could only get to about half of what I wanted. I may do a new one soon and take two days exploring the metro!

Thanks for the marathon tour of the KC area. It was interesting to see how varied the areas are, and great to see points of interest.👍🏻

This was a fascinating tour. Leawood Kansas is such a great place. It's fascinating knowing the history of Hallbrook. I remember when it all used to be the Hall family farm. I owned a home in Old Leawood and sold it in 1989 for under 100,000. My parents bought a home when I was born in Prairie Village for 10,000. Wish I had one of those houses now!

All the indoor malls closed down in the northland. Antioch mall closed, metro north closed and demolished. I know of independence center (which I’ve heard has gone down hill, shootings, fights etc) and oak park mall, I’ve only been once. Zona took metro north’s business. Legends is the best one around that I like. Zona isn’t nearly as busy as it used to be.

Great job on the video! You should check out WOF, the little ones can get kidz passes for $25 (if not free). Food is pretty expensive though. I grew up in tonganoxie and lived all over the northland. Clay como, Gladstone, liberty, north Kansas City, pleasant valley, and bought a house in Leavenworth/lansing area in 22. It’s a great rental area because of the base. But if I could live anywhere I’d probably pick Kearney Mo.

This kept coming up on KZread so I decided to watch it today. Parick Mahomes lives in Loch Lloyd in Missouri and Travis Klece just bought a 6 million dollar home in Leawood, not Lake Quivera, Kelce moved there from Briancliff mo as there was not enough security for Taylor. I liked the video but you were in Independence and ended up in Lees Summit from Kansas which was kind of funny to me as you added a whole lot of unnecessary miles. Here is an idea you were in Parkville and did not show the beautiful homes on the lake there, make a video of all the places you can live on the lake in the KC metro. I commented on one of your other videos that I think Smithville is one of the uglier lakes in the area and Jacomo and Blue Springs Lake are much nicer. I learned of a couple of places that I did not know existed in this video. It was a good video but I think could have made a more linear approach to the places you went and knocked off lots of miles.

Metro North, Metro North was one of the last Malls built in the Kansas City area Kansas City North on Barry road. Plus Independence Center that was offered up to the Royals the other day....
