点评:In 1923, Country Club Plaza in Kansas City became the first outdoor suburban shopping center of its kind in the United States. Today, it remains one of the most popular and largest shopping venues in the country. Located at 4706 Broadway Boulevard and designed in Baroque Revival and Moorish Revival style echoing the architecture of Seville, Spain, it covers 14 blocks with more than 70 stores and shops in 18 separate buildings representing 784,000 square feet of retail space and 219,000 square feet of office space. The 55-acre site, about four miles south of Downtown Kansas City, bordered between 46th Street and Brush Creek to the North and South and between Mill Creek Parkway and Madison Avenue to the East and West, also includes 40 statues, fountains and sculptures, 12 towers and dozens of restaurants and sidewalk cafes. Shoppers can choose from among Aldo, Apple, Banana Republic, Barnes & Noble, Coach, H&M, JCrew, Nike, Old Navy, Pandora, Tiffany & Company, Tommy Bahama and Warby Parker. Enjoy lunch or dinner or a snack at Eddie V's Prime Seafood, Melting Pot, Shake Shack, McCormick & Schmick, Topsy's Popcorn, Jack Stack Barbecue, Capital Grille, Cheesecake Factory, Potbelly Sandwih Shop, Cold Stone Creamery, Kona Grill, Capital One Cafe and Auntie Anne's--Cinnabon. Two trivia notes: Country Club Plaza has had the longest life of any planned shopping center in the history of the world. And one of its oldest retailers is the Jack Henry Clothing Company, which was founded in 1931.
