If you're not from Kansas City, Midtown might sound like just another generic part of town, but around here, it's the historic part of the city. Once packed with streetcar lines, bustling neighborhoods, and some of Kansas City's most iconic architecture, it all fell off the map. The streetcars were ripped out, the suburbs took over, and Midtown's population dropped by more than half. But now everything is changing. The new KC Streetcar Extension is set to reconnect Midtown, downtown, the Plaza, and beyond — and if history is any indication, that's going to kick off a wave of development we haven't seen in generations. In this video, I'm breaking down why the streetcar could spark a full-blown revival, and we'll step inside two of the most unique historic homes in Kansas City, including one that's basically a real-life castle.
