END OF SATURDAY ACTIVITIES

Saturday's activities were affected by a service outage on RideKC Streetcar on Saturday morning due to an uninvolved traffic accident blocking the tracks. When I heard that service was only running south of Union Station, I began walking in that direction to ride that section first, but then when service resumed I boarded northbound at Crossroads. Because of this, my day began 39 minutes later than planned, so the visits to the Westport neighborhood for lunch and the walk around Country Club Plaza were swapped to keep my lunchtime on schedule.
