Minnesota Bait and Fly in Kansas City, Kan., is still going strong after 50 years. (Photo by William Crum) by William Crum
It all started back in 1962 when Minnesota Bait and Tackle opened its doors at 1124 Minnesota Ave. in Kansas City, Kan.
Anyone who likes to fish definitely knows about Minnesota Bait and Fly on Minnesota Avenue in Kansas City, Kan.
As a child I remember going there. My father would take me there as a young child. As I walked into the store fond memories of my childhood came to me.
Recently I decided to drop by and surprisingly enough it is still same place that I remember as a young child, however through the years it has grown. They still are family-owned and only have one location. They still have great customer service as I remember as a young child.
For the fisherman both young and old alike, or for a Father’s Day present, this is definitely the place to go for fishing and sporting needs. They have live bait as well.
They’re located at 1124 Minnesota Ave., Kansas City, Kan., the telephone number is 913-371-0343 and they have a toll-free number, 800-280-0343.

Chateau Avalon in the Village West area of Wyandotte County has made some changes, including adding the d’Nile wine bar. (Photo by William Crum) by William Crum
It’s been 10 years since Chateau Avalon, a luxury hotel located in the Village West area, first came about in western Wyandotte County and there have been changes.
“We recently made a lot of changes,” said Steve Beaumont, owner and founder of Chateau Avalon. “One change is called the d’Nile bar we just started it a year ago. This bar gives people something to do while they’re here. When it’s nice and cool out they can even sit outside.
“Even our food has changed, everything is made from scratch,” he said. “We have everything including some the best cinnamon rolls ever made. All are made from scratch.”
The menu is mainly based on seasonal items such as shrimp skewers in the summer, he said, and apple dumplings in the fall for Applefest.
At a bar, Chateau Avalon offers a number of items, such as flatbread pizza, he said. Soon, it will add beer and wine tastings.
“I would also like to mention that we will have a live band out on the patio which will play four times during the summer months, however what dates we don’t know as of yet,” Beaumont said. “One thing I’d also like to mention is we are planning to hold a lot of wedding receptions here because there’s so much going on out here in western Wyandotte County.”
The website has more information on events that are offered.
After trying one of the dishes I was truly amazed. The food is very hard to describe, and cinnamon rolls will literally melt in your mouth, truly a delight especially for someone like me who enjoys good homemade cinnamon rolls. Their egg dishes are equally as good, you can definitely tell the difference. The staff is fantastic, they’re very polite and very attentive as well. The cleanliness is superior.
In fact if you want to get away for that second honeymoon or your first, or maybe hold a business meeting, this is definitely the place to go.
