Kansas City’s past isn’t just history on a page; it still echoes through downtown streets, old hotels, and even the walls of Union Station. From bootleggers and jazz clubs to political power and gangland shootouts, the city’s Prohibition era reads more like a crime drama than a history lesson.
On Show Me Today, we’re stepping into that world with Johnny “Aces” Holiday, the larger-than-life guide behind the Kansas City Gangster Tour. Through characters, stories, and stops around the city, he brings the Roaring Twenties back to life, one mob tale at a time.
