Everything i know about Kansas City, i learned from popular music (well, once upon a time it was popular)
"Everything's up to date in Kansas City... they went and grew sky scraper 7 stories tall, about as high as a building aught to grow!"
"goin' to Kansas City, Kansas City here i come... They got some crazy little women there and i'm gonna get me one"
(and i'm sure there are more, but i am under the clock)
Kansas City isn't in Kansas any more. (Pretty sure they play in the Missouri side, right)
Just round the time they were discussing statehood, weren't there some minor disagreements that John Brown was involved in? I think they got settled and John Brown moved on to bigger things.
Anyway, let's hope this contest turns out to have less casualties than any of those...
