#3 Apartment recommendation
The Coves. If you were looking for a cheaper place than the first two – this one looks okay. Nice sizes – a little older. www.thecovesnorth.com
All of these apartment complexes are off of "Barry Road" in North Kansas City and there are many many more. They are all located near the interstate within a ten minute drive to the plant. There is tons of shoppinng – entertainment – grocery store – Hospital – just everything you would need to get started until you learn the area yourself.

Dining
The Corner Cafe – www.thecornercafe.com - it’s some real good down home cooking with the BEST desserts you can imagine!! The cafe is located in Riverside MO – a real small town just outside of where the plant is. We really enjoy going to Riverside [ www.riversidemo.com ] for the small shops – it is the closest to down town Franklin (historical part) that we have found. Just a fun place to explore.
Shopping
Zona Rosa is a great shopping area. www.zonarosa.com Water fountains are HUGE here in KC – and everywhere you go you will see them. This shopping complex has some and the kids can go and play in the water.
Nebraska Furniture mart. www.nfm.com This is a HUGE store. It has furniture, appliances, electronics and everything else you can imagine. It is off I-70 West of Kansas City..
Near the speedway, baseball field and another huge shopping complex called The Legends. www.legendsshopping.com
