1. Large enough to have great culture, entertainment, sports, restaurants, and shopping.
2. Small enough to avoid traffic nightmares and to retain that Midwest down home feel.
3. The weather...you get to experience all four seasons, sometimes all in one week.
4. The people...they are down home, middle America, hardworking, kind and helpful to strangers, and represent many nationalities and ethnicities.
5. Did I mention the culture? Kauffman Center for the Performing Arts, Starlight Theater, Nelson-Adkins Museum of Art to name a few.
6. Our Sports Teams...the KC Chiefs NFL Football team, the KC Royals MLB Baseball, the KC T-Bones Minor League Baseball team, the Sporting KC MLS Soccer team, the Missouri Mavericks CHL Hockey team, and the Kansas City Explorers world tennis team.
7. The shopping...The Country Club Plaza, Zona Rosa, The City Market, Independence Center, The Legends Outlet Center, KC West Bottoms Antiques, Oak Park Mall, and so many more places.
8. The entertainment options...the Sprint Center, Worlds of Fun, Oceans of Fun, Schlitterbahn, the Kansas City Power & Light District (also falls under the shopping & restaurant categories), Stanford & Sons Comedy Club, Union Station, Negro Leagues Baseball Museum, Casinos, National World War I Museum and a lot more.
9. The food...BBQ (Gates, Bryant's, Smokehouse, Jack Stack), Mexican (Manny's, Rudy's, Ponak's)...Oh, there are so many places I love to eat in KC, too many to list here!
10. The beauty...our many fountains, the hills, the bluffs and cliffs, the historic neighborhoods like the River Market Area, the Plaza area, Hyde Park, & Quality Hill, the Kansas City skyline, and the parks & boulevards.
These are just a few of the things about Kansas City that I love. What do you love about KC?
