Play Ball! March 31 marks another Opening Day at the K. To mark the occasion, The Local Show presents this "Crown Minute" which takes a look at how the Kansas City Royal's logo, a crown atop a shield with the letters "KC" inside the shield, was created.
George Guastello was named President and Chief Executive Officer of Union Station Kansas City in December 2008 to lead the effort to build a strategic business and financial plan for the future of the Station. He manages an annual budget of $9 million and is responsible for operation, management and development/growth of the Station and surrounding property it owns. Union Station, a historical landmark and civic asset, was renovated and reopened to the public in 1999. A bi-state cultural sales tax, the first of its kind in the country, funded nearly half of the $250 million renovation. The Station features a science center, planetarium, rail museum, national traveling exhibits, one of the largest 3D giant screen movie theaters, live theater, shops, restaurants and offices. The organization also manages the Kansas City Museum.
