#homegrownkcadventure: The Country Club Plaza @countryclubplaza @bolingsplease I love visiting the Plaza and just walking and looking. I always find some new and delightful architectural detail. Today I found some new, beautifully vibrant murals! The weather was especially fine (which is a great surprise since this has been a cold and dreary January) and it was the perfect afternoon to take an explore. I even stopped by Bo Lings and had some dim sum for a late lunch. If you are interested in the history of the Plaza, check out my episodes JC Nichols, and the Country Club Plaza parts 1 and 2. Also check out my episode the Plaza Lights.
