KANSAS CITY, Mo. - OhioPen -- Prohibition in the roaring 1920's didn't stop areas of the West Bottoms from being known as having the "wettest block" in the land. Kansas City trendsetters, movers and shakers, knew how to have a good time going to the original Kansas City located in the West Bottoms. Some things haven't changed – the West Bottoms is still a place to count on finding fun entertainment. September's First Friday, September 6-8, features the theme Booze in the Bottoms and the days of the speak easy with booze, and barbeque, plus now with haunt boo's and vintage shopping.

In a nod to the roaring 1920's, West Bottoms event staff will be sporting flapper dresses, feathers, and Fedora hats. Visitors can save some coin on barbeque, drink specials and haunted house tickets for only $2 on opening night to celebrate the 45^th season with the 1975 price. Shoppers can sample drinks and treats along the District's streets and at area participating stores.
