Going to Kansas City

When my husband and I were dating we liked to go to Kansas City. One of Ray's best friends really loved theater. We would go with him and his wife to the Music Hall to see plays. We took the train as gas was still a little scarce. The trouble with that is we had no way to get home from the depot so my mother always had to get up and come after us at two in the morning. Topeka was not loaded with taxis. The first time we went we ate at the Muehlebach Hotel. I did not think Ray was very rich so I ordered the cheapest thing on the menu which was chicken. When I tried to eat it, it slid off the plate and landed in his lap. One place I liked to go was the Folly Theater. It was a little spicy for a Topeka girl but they sold chocolate. That was difficult to buy in Topeka. We saw great plays like "State of the Union." We thought the Music Hall was beautiful. I still do.
