Atlanta, Dallas, Denver, or Kansas City?

I grew up in KCMO in one of those big houses mentioned near the Plaza (private schools a must) and moved to Shawnee Mission for last 3 years of high school. KC does have plenty of arts culture including a new arts center that is amazing as well as museums etc. My liberal friends do find it hard to live there - especially out by Blue Valley. Schools in SM and BV are really great - better than FCPS in many ways. However, money, guns, God and sports reign and it is way too politically conservative for DH and to ever move back. Love visiting though. Would be pretty awful if you are 25+ and single as noted above.

Ha. You make Kansas City sound like Tulsa or Oklahoma City or something. It's not quite like that overall, I don't agree, especially not KCMO (which is very liberal and always has been, plus is trendy and artsy), KCK (which is lower-income liberal and very multicultural and looks a lot like California and voted 67% for Obama), or Johnson County (which is modern suburbia and socially pretty liberal). The Missouri suburbs though? Yeah, they're more like you say, but most transplants from out of the area don't seem to live in the Missouri suburbs.

Fortunately, I don't run with that crowd, so I'm not exposed to it much. But it's here

Kansas City! I have relatives that live there. It's beautiful, houses are cheap and there's lots of culture (if you like jazz/BBQ etc). The weather there is good, much better than Dallas (HOT and hail), Denver (snow!) or Hotlanta.

None of the above, of course! What the hell kind of question is that?!
