Where's the Wreath - The Legends Edition

We meandered down to Kansas City, Kansas, last night, to a large outdoor mall called…


The Legends. The place is filled with brass plaques commemorating famous Kansans. Hence the name…



If you follow the faux yellow brick road through the Legends, like this motley crew did…

And always remember, if you fly a plane into oblivion over the Pacific Ocean,
