5.0 out of 5 stars Great Glove Compartment Guide, December 26, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Day Trips from Kansas City (Paperback)

Whenever I feel stressed out, I get on a two-lane highway, with this book in hand, and go to off-the-beaten path places that are great fun. Last week I went to two small towns only 30 minutes from where I live in Kansas City and shopped at antique stores, had lunch at a fabulous cafe, and got some great gifts thanks to this little guide. Indispensable. Wouldn't be without it!

3.0 out of 5 stars Where is Clinton, Missouri?, July 27, 2000

By 

Marsha Dark (Clinton, MO, USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Day Trips from Kansas City (Paperback)

I have not read this book but I was told about it by someone on my Clinton Main Street Board. The book evidently does not include Clinton, Missouri in its data. I would like to visit with the author regarding her statistics and question her as to why Clinton, Missouri was not included in the 2-hour radius of Kansas City, MO. Clinton has recently received an award as an All America City for the year 2000. With a population of approx. 10,000 and close in proximity to Truman Lake, we have a lot to offer. We are approximately 1/2 way between KC and Springfield, as the "crow flies". I am Project Manager for Clinton Main Street and can be reached at the above email address or my phone # is 660-885-2121. I would like to invite Shifra to our community and would like her to reconsider Clinton, Missouri as a viable tourist area within a 2-hour radius of KCMO.

Thank you - Marsha Dark Project Manager Clinton Main Street PO Box 173 Clinton, MO 64735
