Plaza Lights by Brian Hillegas

The Plaza Lights are one of Kansas City's most favorite traditions which draws over 500,000 people to the Country Club Plaza on Thanksgiving night. The streets are full of folks who come to celebrate at Kansas City's favorite shopping and dining destination. The lights turn on every evening at 5pm and continue until January 11th, 2009.

Beginning in 1930, the lighting ceremony is the official kick off of the holiday season. The famous ceremony, which began as 16 lights hung over a doorway, now includes over 80 miles of lights with 280,000 multi-colored bulbs outlining and illuminating the buildings and towers of the Country Club Plaza.

Tour of Missouri '09 

Bike Racing

Kansas City held the final stage of the Tour of Missouri on Sunday, Sept. 13. Participating in the race were 10 teams from across the U.S. and five from other countries.

Riders started at Crown Center, went through Penn Valley Park, took Broadway up toward the convention centers then headed through Quality Hill. They crossed over toward Grand Avenue and went through the River Market before heading back toward downtown, passing the Sprint Center and ending back at Crown Center. David Zabriskie finished first, 30 seconds ahead of Gustav Larsson.

The race consisted of seven laps through a 10.2 mile circuit course.

Neighborhood viewing parties were scattered throughout the race at Berkley Riverfront Park, 17th and Summit, and the Power and Light District. (~~Casey Osburn)
