Brush Creek is stinky, dirty and poorly maintained. Can Kansas City turn it into an attraction? - eviltoast
Kansas City has been trying to make Brush Creek somewhere people gather for almost 100 years. Now, the city is giving it another shot with a new master plan based on community feedback in the hopes that focusing on amenities instead of flood control will finally make the creek a destination.

I hope this comes to fruition, it has so much potential.
