What MyHometownKC is about...

If you are reading this, then you found MyHometownKC, which I find very exciting since this is the first time I have blogged! I chose the name MyHometownKC, because most simply Kansas City is my hometown. But more so because I want to share my hometown with other people who call Kansas City home, people who have visited and fell in love with Kansas City, and those who never have been to Kansas City, but might like to find out more about this great city.

I'm not a professional writer. Therefore, please don't criticize my grammar or writing style. The most import thing I want people to take from this is what Kansas City has to offer.

Now let's get one thing clear, when I refer to Kansas City I am referring to Kansas City, Missouri and not Kansas City, Kansas. Yes, people there is a Kansas City in Missouri and one in Kansas and we sit across the Missouri river from each other. You can see one downtown from the other's downtown. Although we are that close, we are two completely different cities. Kansas City, Missouri is the larger of the two Kansas Citys and is the home to the Kansas City Royals & Chiefs, the Kauffman Performing Arts Center, the Country Club Plaza, and much much more.

Don't get me wrong, I have nothing against Kansas City, Kansas it's just that is not where I was raised or have lived for the past 42 years. And, although it's just across the State line and across the river, I don't tend to know much about KCK, except for the Legends Shopping center area.

MyHometownKC blogs will consist of all of the great things about KCMO (things to do in KC, where to eat in KC, Royals, Chiefs, positive stories about citizens, the Police/Fire/EMS, city services, etc.). Unlike other Kansas City bloggers (no names will be mentioned), this blogger intends to bring about positive light on KCMO rather than bringing sensational news items to the forefront.

Stay tuned for upcoming blogs from MyHometownKC. You can also follow MyHometownKC on Twitter to get the latest tweets about Kansas City, Missouri.

Let me know if there is anything in particular you want to know about Kansas City. I will respond to you directly or post a blog covering it.
