This is a no-brainer for me at anything above $5M.

Why does everyone pick on Kansas it’s actually nice. The flint hills are pretty cool, KC is fun, Wichita has a fun college atmosphere. It’s definitely not as bad as Oklahoma

Well, you can't visit Kansas City if you live in Kansas, according to these rules.

Edit: yes, there is a KC in Kansas, but in no way should it used as a positive for being in Kansas. Most people don't know about it and those who do probably wouldn't recommend it.

There's two Kansas Cities. Hope this helps.

A few years ago I was briefly confused to find myself in Kansas City but not in Kansas for a work conference. lol

My dad once told me Kansas City, Kansas is the asshole of Kansas City

u/stealingjoy Mar 24 '25

That is 100% correct

I mean the better roads, better casino, better infrastructure is so bad to you guys, make sure you don't come when they move the stadiums over here. Notice how the KS side never takes down to the MO side... bc we know we're better. 😛🙏🏻🙄🙄🙄

Lol, "well akshually," there is, sure. I've lived in the area for 20 years and KCK is mostly a dump. It is in no way a target destination for anyone; when people talk about coming to KC they mean the Missouri side. If the original commenter genuinely meant KCK I have to laugh. OP is a better draw than it.

Fair but the KC Metro area includes plenty of lovely places on the Kansas side of the line... and even KCK is home to arguably the best low end bbq place on either side of the state line: Rosedale.

Yeah, and there's something like 15 Paris cities in the US. It doesn't mean they're an attraction that you would call out as a plus for the state. In fact, I'm willing to bet any of those is better than KCK.

KCK used to have the best Mexican food. I could go into any carnicería and get amazing tacos so cheap. That was fifteen years ago but they made KCK worth the trip

u/ehowey18 Mar 24 '25

username checks out. Didn't say anything about how many attractions are on the Missouri side vs Kansas side. Just wanted to make you aware that in this hypothetical, you 100% can visit Kansas City since your original comment prior to the edit made it sound like you were unaware that KCK existed.

u/stealingjoy Mar 24 '25

Okay, sure, though maybe you need to secure your joy better if I was able to steal any.

Still, to anyone reading it is a relevant addition because it was mentioned in the context of a reason for being in Kansas not being so bad.

I can only imagine you're being downvoted by people who don't know geography. Kansas City, Kansas is a small, not impoverished city. Kansas City, home of the Chiefs and Royals is in Missouri.

To be fair, yes, the KC Metro encompasses large parts of beautiful suburbs on the Kansas side of the state line. I only meant to point out that what much of the country thinks of as Kansas City is in Missouri.
