Thanks for the visit, Robert! And thank you for the kind words on our little museum. Shoot us a note the next time you're in town! And yes, we too are a bit worried about losing some of the "magic" this museum has if we move into another facility - we'll do our best to try and recapture it in the next spot. Subscribed.
Thank you Robert and great job showcasing our fantastic City. I live just a few blocks from Joe's BBQ and planned on attending the meet and greet but had to change plans. Travel safe and God bless!
What a great video! My mother was born in Kansas City. Grandpa worked at the Ford Assembly Plant during the 1920s through the great depression and World War 2. We went to visit them in 1961 on the Kansas City Limited in a Pullman Car. We boarded in Chicago at night. Mom put us to bed. We woke up and got dressed just as we pulled into Kansas City. Grandma and grandpa were waiting for us in Union Station. They took us to a cafe so we could eat breakfast. We were starving! I was 7. Glad to see they preserved the old station and still use it.
I doubt a better coverage on RU-vid exists of Kansas City than this . A series on great American cities is a great idea . Hope you live to be 100 and continue making videos :D ❤️
KC seems more modern than my last visit. I enjoyed watching the steamboat museum. I've always been intrigued by how people would have lived centuries ago. PS: Cerner, a large healthcare software company is based in KC and one of their largest employers.
234k subs. Look at you go. It is such a joy to discover through your lens, that most cities- with KC being no exception, are so much more than what they’re often perceived to be. So fun to watch the personality of yet another understated urban locale unfold here. You highlight cities and towns so well and talk about most with such kindness that one can’t help but want to know them better, or even plan a visit that otherwise would have never even been considered. Not a bad idea about doing a “Great American Cities” tour, on a train or otherwise. So many places would benefit from this kind of attention, and if this episode is any evidence of how that would go, well, there’s no second guessing whether to do it or not. Lots of good stuff is in this one, always getting better… even some pretty cool clip transitions. Nice. Im sure the new equipment must up the fun factor of doing the work! Thanks for the continued commitment to producing quality content that stands out among the rest… Well done, Robert. 🙂
Kansas City MO was nice. I’ve been 3 times. They seemed to look down on the Kansas side, they called KCK. Once I stayed across the street from the convention center (4 spires @ 14:55)
Yes Robert, you should definitely ride the Amtrak train! It is a great relaxing way to see the cities and country-side, all while having your meals and bed provided at reasonable cost.
What a nice tour! Thank you so much Robert for doing what you do and sharing these videos with us. I look forward to watching the next episode every Sunday morning. 😊
We took a great Amtrak adventure last February. Denver to Grand Junction, and back the next day. The most scenic trip through the Rocky Mountains in the winter! We spent the night in Grand Junction at a hotel within walking distance of the train station.
A wonderful to start my day. Thanks for the great filming, editing and music of your videos. We aren't able to travel so this is my go to channel. Happy travels
I have only been to Kansas City twice; both were business trips. Need to check out the steamboat museum. I did have an opportunity to visit the Negro League Baseball Museum -- highly recommend it for your next visit there. LOVED your opening music with the jazzy sax - so suitable for KC.
Thanks for another great episode Robert! I love the driving footage you always put in your videos, I especially enjoy watching the drives through the cities you visit. That view of Kansas City from the Lewis and Clark spot, was beautiful.
Robert, sorry that we are a bit behind in viewing. Shelley and I enjoyed meeting up with everyone at the KC meet-up. You did an excellent job showcasing our hometown. Let's know next you are passing through or stopping by for a while. Shelley and I have been binge-watching this latest trip for the past few nights. Peace and Safe Travels
Glad you liked our hometown. KC is a special place. Joe's is probably our favorite BBQ. WWI Museum is probably one of our favorites. Good stuff. Travel safe.
Kansas City is a beautiful place.....it looks a cheerful and picturesque city.. I would very much like to visit it. Beautiful video.Congrats...... I see you on the road..... Love....MOM...>>>
Traveling Robert cross country on an Amtrak? Is that something I would like to see? You better believe it! I think, I am sure others will agree, you would be an excellent guide, orator, educator, and with your flair for details, make it all the more interesting. So to answer your question again, yes I would like to watch a Traveling Robert series aboard the Amtrak, while it still exists. Take care and thank you for the videos.
That was a wonderful episode. Always wanted to go to Kansas City. I love trains, so yes to the train excursion. Thank you, Robert and Ily, for all you do. I look forward to seeing you every Sunday morning. Best wishes and safe travels. Stay well and see you next week on another great episode.
Thank you Robert you filmed the area where I live and you did an excellent job showing all the beautiful sights!!😘 God bless you on your travels around the United States.
I have only stayed overnight in Kansas City a few times in route to other destinations. I have visited the Harry Truman sites in Independence. Need to spend a few days here to explore.
Hello Traveling Robert🎷🎷🎸🎸😊😊🍔🍔🍦🍦🍕🍕, Kansas City is one awesome great city. I absolutely love Kansas City BBQ and so many places to check out. OUTSTANDING VIDEO FOOTAGE, ROBERT. I can't wait to see whats next on the Lewis & Clark Trail👍👍👍👍👍👍.
Good job, Robert. We have been eagerly awaiting your video of Kansas City. We visited KC, MO the end of September and visited the War Museum/Tower, the Arabia Steamboat Museum, Union Station, all were very informative and not to be missed. Of course bbq twice! We grew up in Southwest MO and now in WY. I always enjoy seeing the area where four years of my childhood were spent. Memories.
Said it before, no one does an urban rv video better. Like how you got as close as you could to the Wilbert Harrison version of Kansas City withou taking the c/r strike.
Another great video. You are my Sunday night tradition. I do follow another youtuber that has taken a few of the long distance trains. I would love to see your video on the experience and I think it would be relaxing for you and the wife. I wnat to do the west coast train LA to Oregon and see the ocean from the train.
Oh, i didn't know KC got street cars, that's nice... we don't have that in Columbus, Ohio :-) ... Never been to either one, but sometimes I get confused with Kansas city, Missouri and Kansas city, Kansas...I can't wait to watch your vlog on the latter :-) Your vlog is addicting :-)
KC train is the Southwest Chief, Chi-LA...The Zephyr is the best for scenery, over the Rockies front range and then Donner Pass the next day, both in daylight!
Ah, Kansas City...gonna get my baby back home, yeah yeah🎵 (Nice new music cue by the way) It's a little disturbing to see the lack of respect some people have for the displays at Kaw Point. That's a great view from the WWI tower! The Arabia Museum was the highlight of my visit back in 2004. I got to talk to Greg Hawley (RIP), one of the main people responsible for the discovery of the ship and establishment of the museum. His book "Treasure in a Cornfield" is worth a read. You asked about interest in taking a long train journey, I think it would be more interesting to see some of the shorter historical/scenic trips like Durango to Silverton or a ride though Gold Country out of the 1897 Railtown Museum, where they use Sierra Railway 3, the "movie star locomotive".
Robert YES YES YES we would like to watch a series of videos traveling on the train across America ! Please Please !!! I have been wanting to take the train across the country for a very long time. High Roller private sleeper car.
Enjoyed the video. The Amtrak train is the South West Cheif from Chicago to Los Angeles. Streetcars have cabs on both ends of the train. The operator switches to the other side. The streetcar then switches tracks to head in the other direction. Train travel videos would make great videos. The most scenic routes. The Empire Builder travels through Glacier National Park. The Empire builder splits in Spokane One train goes to Portland, traveling along the Columbia River. The Seattle portions travel over the Cascades. The Coastal Starlight from Los Angeles to Seattle. Or from San Diego via the Pacific Surfliner, switching trains in Los Angeles. California Zephyr from Chicago to San Francisco/Emeryville. Depending on how the train runs, get off at Reno and stay the night if the train is more than 9 hours late if you want to see the Sierras. You mentioned that you like trains. How about model trains, by the way? Please send me a Private message if you are interested in seeing layouts in AZ.
