Out By the Track

I remember a time when driving to Kansas City, Kansas, for recreational purposes meant frequenting strip clubs. And when Nebraska Furniture Mart and the minor league ballpark were built a few years ago, they stood virtually alone in the middle of nowhere. Now you have to battle for a parking spot when visiting the dozens of retailers and restaurants that surround them. The Legends has become just as viable a shopping destination this holiday season as anywhere in the metropolis.
