Freight House Sight

This is another view from the Freight House parking lot.  I have shown several photos in this area over the last several days.  There in the background is half of the Performing Arts Center right in front of the Bartle Hall Sky Stations that I showed you here.   I love this area of the city.

Across the Parking Lot

Looking the opposite direction from yesterday's photo is the backside of Union Station.   There is a walkway to the right and above photo that brings you over to the Freight House where there is great food; Lidia's, Jack Stack BBQ and Grunauer,  a German and Austrian cuisine.

Through the Vine

Some of you may be familiar with Lidia Bastianich from the Food Channel or cookbooks, her name is well known.  This is her restaurant here in KC just down the street from the Kauffman Center and the food is fabulous.  The space is in a former railroad house and resembles a large Italian farmhouse.  This area is known as the Freight House district and is just north across the railroad tracks from Union Station.

The trees up front are suffering from the extreme heat we have experienced for the last two weeks.  The Missouri river is still high and a major highway north to Omaha is still closed due to flooding.
