Legends And Myths Of Kansas City

Did "Boss" Tom Pendergast bury his political enemies underneath Brush Creek concrete? Are there bullet holes still in Union Station from the Union Station Massacre? Is there any fact behind these fictions?

On Friday's Central Standard, host Monroe Dodd discusses some oft-told tales of Kansas City and determines whether any of them actually hold any water. 

Guest:

  • Dave Boutros, Assistant Director of the State Historical Society of Missouri Research Center
