Blue Springs, not generally con- sidered a hotbed of action. did serve its populace well by being located only 1 8 miles from down- town Kansas City. Popular spots included the Harry S. Truman Sports Complex. home of the Kansas City Royals and Chiefs: Kemper Arena, home of the Scouts and Kings and in- numerous rock concerts: Worlds of Fun: and Pogo's. a nightime spot.
