KC Fact Check: Country Club Plaza Stays Losing Christmas 2024

Sadly . . . 

Despite a change in ownership and a few more attractions . . .

So many empty storefronts along with hobos & loiterers seems to have ruined Christmas again for this iconic retail destination that hasn't been so crowded this year. 

A quick not sent our way . . . 

"Hey TKC, it was miserable at the Plaza this weekend. Not only where there only a few places open but grabbing dinner was abysmal. Lots of entitled people with bad attitudes up to and including the wait staff at some of the overpriced restaurants. Not a hater. I love the Plaza and remember when it was THE place to be during the holidays. That has changed this year and I hope new ownership can turn things around."

 Accordingly . . .

We wanted to share this worthwhile missive which should remind us all TO BE NICE amid the the Christmas rush.

"The rub is that it’s Christmas. No, I don’t have to wear antlers (whew) but I have spent five hours listening to Bing Crosby. Yes, Bing, it is beginning to feel a lot like Christmas. You can feel the tension, hovering just below breaking point. Just about everyone is in a hurry."
