From MSNBC: Top 10 Underrated U.S. Cities.
Kansas City – With downtown’s multi-billion-dollar face-lift, pedestrian-friendly boulevards, and claim to having the most fountains of any city outside of Rome, Kansas City is definitely deserving of buzz. Plus, history buffs can learn about the city’s pioneer roots at the Arabia Steamboat Museum, while sports fans can visit the Negro Leagues Baseball Museum, a tribute to the excellent athletes forced to play in segregated leagues. Blues and jazz clubs also abound in this city where musicians like Count Basie and Charlie Parker got their start, particularly in the historic 18th and Vine District, where the American Jazz Museum is located. Once you’ve worked up an appetite, you’re also in for a treat, as this Midwestern city also boasts some of the county’s best barbecue.

# 4 huh, not too shabby!
I like it here too!
That sounds great! I wish it were easier to move around to different places and experience life in other cities – not just the touristy stuff. I loved your pictures on flickr you recently posted. I guess I’ll have to come up and visit sometime!
Sounds lovely. Should really plan a visit then…
