| Murder on the Orient Express Kansas City Public Library, Central Branch | Sat., November 22, 1:30pm | Downtown | |
 With the exception of Ocean's Eleven and its sequels, Hollywood no longer makes ensemble blockbusters, the type in which stars inhabit almost every role.

| Hookah Demonstrations Main Street Tobacco | Every week Saturday, 2:00pm-4:00pm | Westport | |
 A few years ago, in preparation for the end of our long love affair with smoking, we took the habit to new heights. If there wasn’t a “No Smoking” sign in view, we found an excuse to light up. One night, itching for something new before the final nicotine kiss-off, we tried a... More >> |
