If you do visit the museum, look to your east across Grand Blvd, you'll see my business, Kansas City Air Filter. Pop in and say hi, I'll be there Friday afternoon until 3:30. Susie

For anyone coming to town early and wanting to sightsee may I suggest the Steamboat Arabia Museum in the River Market? This is a unique in the world exhibit. Read up on it here:

I might just drop in and say "Hello" on Thursday already?
No worries... always better to have company than to eat and drink alone!
As for the Aviatioan museum, that is also on my list of things to do... which one though? I found the TWA museum and the National Airline History Museum...

With the AA merger, the plane was repainted into the AA colors and flew for them until being retired in 2014. The plane spent a lot of time at the former TWA overhaul base at MCI and then debuted the new livery last summer.

I am trying to work on a good Happy Hour spot for Friday evening before dinner. I'll post here once I decide. Weather forecast for Friday is 78 degrees and sunny. A patio will be a MUST!

Thanks Susie! The Steamboat Museum was on my list, also because it was on the northern end of the Street Car line :-)

My plane is scheduled to land at 11:35 so I'll email/text when I'm on the way to lunch. I'll also DM my contact info.

Haha, basically I was checking out all the DOs in order to choose one that I could build my holidays around. It came down to the BBQ and the BRT and I decided for BBQ. But I will not only eat, but also drink beer (Portland OR) and fly (Alaska Airlines Milkrun).

Happy Hour for tomorrow will be at Char Bar in the Westport area of Kansas City. The address is 4050 Pennsylvania, Kansas City, MO. Let's shoot for 6pm unless anyone would like to meet earlier. They have a nice beer garden outside. And they also have above average BBQ if anyone would like a "snack" before dinner at Q39.
Our reservation for Q39 is for 12 people at 8:30pm. I will put a note on the reservation for FLYERTALK.
PM for my telephone number so we don't lose or leave anyone behind.
Looking forward to this weekend!

I updated the time of Happy Hour to 6:30pm. It appears that rain may be moving through about that time. 6;30pm-810pm at Char Bar.

After KC Joes, people usually splinter off and try their Own thing. I was thinking about Damny Edwards BBQ on Southwest BLVD
