Just name a time and place and I will be there... Hey did anyone figure out what they got gas mileage wise on the trip down and back from Emporia? Mine was pretty poor and I just wanted to see if anyone else had gotten poor gas mileage on that trip.... maybe it was the wind .

We had bad gas mileage too! Wind and rock road.

Hello again!

Did some reconnos... reconasance... reconisance... I went to Parkville and checked it out! And let me back up and say, with apologies to Ruth, I miss-quoted her. She suggested BROOKSIDE, not Waldo. Silly me, trying to write from memory! Ha!

But I will stick with my earlier suggestion of Parkville. Mike N. (who is not on the Forum but LIVES there) made some suggestions as to a specific place. I visited ansd asked questions and here is what I found:

If we want FOOD, Stone Canyon Pizza is a great place. Private room just for us, coffee, beer, pizza, sandwiches, reasonable prices but not a great view. Alternately, Tommy T's Malt Shop has burgers, fries, malts (duh!), etc. Sadly no coffee BUT! The dining room is an old Pulman Coach train car! Windows looking out to parking and shops, GREAT ambiance! They DO have hot chocolate. Both places are in downtown parkville. Depending on Things, we may be able to park immediately in front of either. Or, more likely on a Saturday, we can park less than a half-block away. The weather is supposed to be sunny and mid-40s. The shops are cute and quaint.

Do we want to have lunch? And if so, would we rather have pizza / sandwiches or burgers?

If the group just wants a cofffee shop, there is one about 5 minutes away, but it isn't in Parkville -- it's in a rather beautiful strip shopping center called the Tuilleries (TOO-lurees).

So what say you, MO-KAN SmartCar Club members? I would like to meet around 11 altho really the time doesn't matter too much to me. How 'bout you? Sing out!

Oh! One last thought! Maybe, just MAYBE we could all decorate our cars, however we saw fit, for the Holiday Activity! I can see it now, Steve's car will have bright, festive lights all over it... and a really loooooooong extension cord!

I will be good with what ever you Northerner MO-KAN smart car club members decide, as I am not as familiar with Parkville as I thought. Last time I was there the restaurant in the old Pullman car was a Mexican restaurant, so for the regulars that my tell you something. Keep me posted...

smark has a good idea: We should meet Downtown and wagon train to Parkville.

Where shall we meet? I like meeting at 11. That will put us in Parkville at lunchtime! We can select the restaurant once you see the choices.

Anyone interested in decorating their car?

And who is coming? ALSRAC, you've got a PASS this time! Do we have a baby yet??? You missed MY birthday (the 2nd)...

Sr. Swatch
smark
me!
Michael (I think, but he'll meet us there)

Who else?

Terry

Terry,
HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!
Sorry I missed the day, thanks for the pass to miss the meeting this saturday, the doctor keep saying that the baby could be born at any time, so we have to stay here in town.
Please take and post the pictures, remember that Andy and me gave you a lesson about this, so you don't have an excuse anymore for not posting pictures!!
Hopefully we'll attend the January activity.

I will have my car in the festive mood.... how festive depends on my overtime schedule. As for meeting down town, we could meet in the church parking lot behind Hallmark. smark I know you know the place. Then we could make a quick pass by the Liberty Memorial and Union Station before we head to Parkville (down 9hwy I would assume).

In addition to Terry S's list:

fun42?
dbwill?
bentoutofshap??
Ruth??
ALSRAC (in spirit)

Please Let Terry S know, as Saturday is quickly approaching. That way he can get a head count for our lunch arrangement.

Andy "Sr Swatch"

P.S. Happy Birthday Terry S....
