What Options Do Kansas City Youth Have For Entertainment?

For the 21+ crowd, Kansas City is full of entertainment choices. For youth however, the city lacks age-appropriate venues.

On today's Central Standard, we discuss what activities are available to youth in Kansas City, and some initiatives and ideas that would expand those options.
