Yeehaw!
Check out what they had to say:
You may not know that Kansas City is teeming with fountains and fresh off a downtown renovation.
With downtown's multi-billion dollar face-lift, pedestrian-friendly boulevards, and claim to having the most fountains of any city outside of Rome, Kansas City is definitely deserving of buzz. Plus, history buffs can learn about the underrated city's pioneer roots at the Arabia Steamboat Museum, while sports fans can visit the Negro Leagues Baseball Museum, a tribute to the excellent athletes forced to play in segregated leagues. Blues and jazz clubs also abound in this city where musicians like Count Basie and Charlie Parker got their start, particularly in the historic 18th and Vine District, where the American Jazz Museum is located. For some summertime family fun, head to mega-water park Schlitterbahn Vacation Village, which debuted in July 2009 as the brand’s first venture outside of Texas. Once you've worked up an appetite, you're also in for a treat, as this Midwestern city also boasts some of the country's best barbecue.
And they didn't even say anything about the world class Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art.
So anyone bitching about how it sucks to live here, check it out. (Tony?)
And this is before we add the Kauffman Center for the Performing Arts.
I guess I have to change my response to "Yahoo!"
Have a great weekend, y'all.

Not a bad post... better than being proccupied with drug induced murders in the ghetto and odd looking city officals.
KC isn't a bad venue. It's not NY or SFC, but youre right, we have very nice attractions here. Isn't it weird how we residents tend not to use very many.
I think most of us are very parochial and tend to eat at the same eateries, watch the same TV shows and listen to the same radio stations. We're pretty boring in the midwest.
I havent been to the Nelson or Starlight in years. And the last time I saw a show on 12th street, it was the burlesque in the mid sixties! I've heard they actually do theater down there! Grin My bad. But I'll go to NYC once a year and drop a kazillion dollars!
Radioman! You have GOT to go to the Nelson. The American exhibit, the Native American exhibit, the new Egyptian exhibit, the Ed Steichen exhibit that started this weekend--you have GOT to get over there. Then have lunch in Rozzelle Court. The Egyptian section alone will knock you out.
then pick a cool restaurant you haven't been to yet (I give suggestions) and go.
And I don't talk just about the odd looking nature of the city official.
you're right, of course. it's nice to have something pertinent to write of that isn't about the Funk or our problems, etc.
have a great weekend,
mr
