This two minute "evening" eerily crept in and I have to say... it was as cool as advertised! My experience was watching with some wonderful fellow Yelpers at The Exchange in Lead Bank in the Crossroads which was a rooftop overlooking downtown KC. Sipping sodas and nervously looking through eclipse glasses, I enjoyed watching the sun shrink into a sliver through the glasses. However, the phenomenon of seeing city lights flip on was the coolest part to me. The whole thing has an eery, exciting vibe like when a huge thunderstorm suddenly forms overhead. I can only imagine what people thousands of years ago thought when an eclipse happened, and wouldn't they naturally look up and stare at it? Y'ouch. I'll admit I didn't understand all the hype for it and talk of closing roads and schools, but once I experienced it and felt the excitement, I changed my tune. Great time, glad it was in our backyard, and the rarity of it makes it a special experience no matter what.

I am crushing so hard on The Westside. For years I have enjoyed visiting this neighborhood, but I…read morehad no idea how much I would love it as a resident. Allow me to tell you why it's simply the best. First, let's get 17th and Summit out of the way. The intersection is the epicenter of what most people recognize as The Westside, and for good reason. Want to eat great food? Then why not hit up Westside Local, Chez Elle, Novel, or Los Alamos? Don't forget Fervere, one of the city's best boutique bakeries. You want coffee? Little Freshie brews up Oddly Correct, yet is equally well known for their snow cones and sodas. If you feel like doing some shopping there's Westside Storey and Utilitarian Workshop. Get your haircut at Mood or The Calico Beard & Mercantile. If you need a place to stay, just go right around the corner and rent a room at Jefferson House. All of this on gorgeous treelined streets. It's legit. But since moving to the neighborhood, I've learned that The Westside is so much more than that intersection. I love the eclectic mix of both homes and residents. Walk along the treelined streets and you'll see modern structures made of concrete and glass stack up next to stately century old manors. Cozy apartments are next to gigantic single-family homes. Traditionally a Hispanic neighborhood, its now amazingly diverse without losing it's cultural history. The Maddie Rhodes Center nurtures Latino artists while right next door Baila Westside teaches traditional dance. The importance of the Hispanic culture is especially obvious around this time of year, with many of the businesses hosting altars for Dia De Los Muertos, plus a street festival that draws quite a crowd. Speaking of festivals, this neighborhood is nuts for them. A quick look at the calendar reminded me that coming up is the Family Fall festival, plus a harvest dance. In December the mayor hosts an annual holiday party, and there are a smattering of other smaller events throughout the year. With such extreme proximity to both The Crossroads and Southwest Boulevard, it's always a surprise to me how many people don't even know this enclave exists. But I can promise you that those that do know will love to visit, and those that live here don't ever want to leave. Just like the billboards and graffiti art say, Bienvenidos al Westside!

Not gonna lie -- I felt a little intimidated knowing costumes were the norm and we didn't have any. But once we got there I realized it didn't matter at all. Nobody cared, it felt welcoming, and we had a genuinely fun family time with or without a costume! There was something for everyone. The vendors and crafts were great -- my kid walked out with a wooden sword. Both girls got tiaras and felt like absolute princesses. The human chess game was one of our favorite shows, right up there with the knights jousting. And the fact that Rapunzel and Belle were overlooking the knight's fighting? The girls spotted them immediately -- perfect touch! Food was good -- hotdogs, chicken fingers, and fries hit the spot. But those turkey legs smelled AMAZING. Drinks were perfectly cold, which was everything considering it's been hotter than usual. Highly recommended -- go with or without a costume, just go!

Upon scanning your ticket, there were two guards at a display playing trumpets(Hark the Herald Angels Sing). The hostess encouraged us to redeem our free gift at a booth across from the entrance and there, they gave one free renaissance festival ticket to each guest. Pleasant surprise! The lights were very nice and definitely gave a joyful medieval Christmas overlay. The lighted paths were fun but sometimes difficult to follow. It was easy to roam off the path and get a little turned around but it was no trouble at all, just a bit rocky terrain so good walking shoes are recommended. There were booths that provided warmth, food, alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages. I worked at the chicken and chips booth at the renaissance festival when when I was 14, my very first job, so I had to stop and order some chicken and chips(french fries) with a side of honey mustard and my husband ordered the brisket chili. The chili was served in a 16oz styrofoam cup which kept it hot until he was finished. The chicken and chips were served hot and fresh as well...3 large chicken strips and delicious crispy french fries. Both meals were absolutely PHENOMENAL for such a decent price of $9 each. As we ate, we sat and watched a fire show with juggling and other fun tricks. Unfortunately, I didn't get but one photo because I had an extended day of work and didn't get to charge my phone before heading to the event. We plan to return next year. Tickets were very affordable and with early bird special, we purchased all 5 tickets for $58. 4 adults and one child. It was a great time!
