Seg. 1: The City Market, Then and Now | Seg. 2: Best Salads in Kansas City

Segment 1: The City Market, then and now.

The City Market continues to provide local produce to individuals and nearby businesses in Kansas City, but even those businesses have changed dramatically in the last decade. We go to Estelle’s Diner to see these changes firsthand, and talk with a historian about the stories behind them.

Segment 2, beginning at 18:30: The best salads in Kansas City.

Salads don't have to be forms of deprivation; in fact, they can be the perfect way to enjoy the bounty of summer. The food critics join us to recommend the freshest and most delightful salads around town, and they also have a few tips for the home chef. 

People don't make cameos in news stories; the human story is the story, with characters affected by news events, not defined by them. As a columnist and podcaster, I want to acknowledge what it feels like to live through this time in Kansas City, one vantage point at a time. Together, these weekly vignettes form a collage of daily life in Kansas City as it changes in some ways, and stubbornly resists change in others.
