Anyone from/lived in Kansas City?

Not to de-rail your thread but I'll be going there in March. Anything good to do there?

 

I've never lived there or had an extended stay there, but I've heard good things. They've recently done a complete overhaul of their downtown area with a ton of good restaurants, bars, and clubs. It's a great city for a sports fan as well as they support their teams. Even the Royals. That team has been terrible for two decades and the city still supports them pretty well.

 

I wouldn't say they "support" the Royals. It's more of an acknowledgment that they exist. They pretty much expect them to suck.

That said, it's a nice city. Nothing terribly special about it. They claim to have good bbq. It's ok, I suppose. I've been a bunch of times for work. The Blue Springs area is pretty nice and close to the stadiums. Traffic never seemed to be a problem for me. I've never spent time in the downtown area, though, so I can't speak to that.

 

I've heard rumors that they have great steaks.
