Deserted

A big wedding reception at Municipal Auditorium, concerts at the Folly and Midland theaters and and a busy night at the Power & Light district failed to energize the streets of downtown Kansas City last Saturday night. Aside from the blocks of Grand, Walnut, 13th and 14th that surround the core of the the new Power & Light entertainment area, there was shockingly little foot traffic. An associate and I spent much of the night just wandering around completely alone. The police managed to stay busy. I ascertained that this suspect was attempting to break into cars. Stray homeless guys were also rousted by authorities.
