I googled the Country Club Plaza, as I'd never heard of it before. Seems very, very nice... but it's still just a developed/planned shopping center. The Quarter is the cultural heartbeat of not only New Orleans but Louisiana as a whole. No one thought the 1/4 up over night. It evolved. And it's mostly Spanish, by the way. The FQ is a special place. You should really come down and see it.

It may be a matter of age. When I was younger and liked to get sh!+faced, I loved the quarter. It also gets points in my book because it's an historic and organic part of the city.
At this stage in life, I enjoy having a nice meal and a few drinks without having to wade through pi$$-filled streets to get there and back. I'm a big fan of CC Plaza. If it were in one of the coastal cities, it would be on everyone's map. For now, it's a gem that KC can enjoy.

I love Country Club Plaza, but KC does tourism ads up here all the time, and I don't think I've ever heard it mentioned.
