Why this plan works

The 3 stops cover about 0.1 miles total, which keeps you in one pocket of Kansas City instead of crossing town between them. The Midland Theatre is the main event and takes the biggest block of time; the other stops are built around it. It finishes at The Town Company — a short, low-effort stop you can skip if you're ready to call it. Best suited to couples, friends, solo, and adults who want a planned Kansas City outing without improvising between stops.
