City Market t is located on the Street Car line and is home to a wide array of dining options and local vendors. Each Saturday morning there is a farmers market where you can purchase fresh produce, fresh flowers, and specialty products all locally grown or made.

The Steamboat Arabia (http://1856.com/) is also located in City Market. The steamboat sank near Kansas City in 1856 and was not discovered until 1988. Because it was buried completely underground and protected from light and oxygen the contents of the steamboat were perfectly preserved. It is the largest collection of pre-civil war artifacts in the world and contains clothes, shoes, tools, and even food that was still edible at the time of discovery.

Kansas City Power and Light District is located in downtown Kansas City and is also on the street car line. It contains over 50 unique restaurants, bars, and entertainment venues.
