Have you looked around Kansas City? Construction abounds. It’s everywhere. From South of the Plaza where a new Whole Foods store will soon open to the River Market where there is a new apartment building in the works, things are happening in our city. People are coming downtown in droves! We’ve had the KC Streetcar now for almost 18 months, and more than 3,000,000 people have taken a ride. Google Fiber launched, and KC is one of the smartest Smart Cities in the US. It’s an exciting time to be here watching our city blossom.
In the last few years, KC has received accolades from several great sources:
Fodor’s: https://www.fodors.com/news/5-reasons-to-visit-kansas-city-11521
Huffington Post: https://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/6-reasons-kansas-city-is-the-most-lovable-of-cities_us_57ad15eae4b0e7935e0487b8
And CNN: http://www.cnn.com/travel/article/kansas-city-royals-winners/index.html
Our baseball team has won the World Series, and our KC Chiefs have even seen some better days, as of late.
All great reasons to appreciate a city. But there’s so much more to love!
While we don’t rank top in public transportation or environmentally friendly transportation modes like cycling, our city is quite easy to maneuver in a car. And while during rush hour traffic, we do experience traffic that sits still, our traffic is NOTHING compared to traffic in cities similar in size. And even in the worst traffic, you can get from Downtown Kansas City, MO to Overland Park, KS in 15-20 minutes, maybe 30 minutes on a bad day.
