Kansas City No. 9 on "Most Relaxed Cities"

Forbes is out with yet another "top" list.  This time it's the "Top 10 Most Relaxed Cities" and lo and behold, Kansas City is not only the list but we're number 9.

And before Tony trashes the list and us--because you know he will--think about it.  Traffic is never that bad.  Our unemployment isn't as high as a lot of the rest of the country.  Housing is much more affordable than a great deal of places all across the country.  Then we have a terrific arts community, what with theater, the Nelson, the new Bloch Gallery, the Nerman, the Crossroads District and on and on.

Minneapolis is at the top of the list, for all its reasons.

So celebrate, Kansas City.  We're good and it could be much worse.
