Parkville

Friday night, Beermann led us to Parkville, a suburb of Kansas City, for dinner. The town is a nice little neighborhood that reminds me of Perham's main street, except planted in some nice hills and trees to give it a mountain town feel.

Dinner was at the Power Plant, a brewpub renovated from the old campus power plant for the nearby college. The brews were tasty, with the standard varieties well represented. The atmosphere screams industrialism with plain brick walls held together by wrought iron joints and the old boiler still intact.

After dinner, we went to a chocolate bar named "the Sweet Guy." We had some delicous gelato and a white chocolate truffle. I don't recommend the white chocolate for a truffle. It's not sweet enough to merit the presentation. However, I want to see if I can make gelato sometime, because it is much lighter and tastier than normal ice cream.
