Branson options cited in 'In the USA this Fall, Combine Foliage with Adventure'

    There's more to Kansas City than barbecue, blues, and baseball.
  • As we close in on the end of the season for the Fields of Dreams at The World on Wheels, we enter the rarified air of the best of Major League Baseball stadiums. The last three are head and shoulders above the rest and feature outstanding wheelchair accessibility. This week, at the edge of Kansas City, we update Kauffman Stadium...home of the Royals.

  • On the conclusion of our Midwest Baseball Tour at The World on Wheels, we take a side trip to Monroe Elementary School in Topeka, Kansas...where Oliver Brown's daughter attended. They're better known as the Brown in Brown v. The Topeka Board of Education, a landmark suit for civil rights. Now, it's a national historic monument. With video and pictures, we also visit the state historical museum and find one heck of a good comfort food restaurant: http://tinyurl.com/37lhfcy
