NPR reruns KC gangland piece

February 17, 2009
Justin Kendall,

I’d never heard NPR’s “Kansas City’s wholesome image belies mob past” piece, but yesterday “Day to Day” reran the September 2007 show. It’s a quick, six-minute tour of KC’s seedy mob past. Makes me want to take the tour.

Hat tip to TKC.
