[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I thought KC was pretty. Near that upscale outdoor shopping area? Forget the name. There were some lovely older homes nearby...

Friends live in Hotlanta and really like it...their house is pretty...[/quote]

The Plaza.

I grew up in the KC area. It's a wonderful place in many ways. There is a surprising commitment to arts and culture, especially in Kansas City, MO. Schools outside KCMO and on the Kansas side (Johnson County in particular) are very good. Cost of living is so much better there than here. Hallmark, Sprint, and other big companies have their HQs in KC. Great barbecue and Mexican food, too.

I'm not sure what the status is now, but the KCMO public schools lost their accreditation not too long ago. You couldn't move to KC and expect to put your kids in KCMO schools. You'd have to look in Lee's Summit, North Kansas City, or Johnson County.

DH and I are both from the area. It will always be home and we love to visit. It's just way too conservative for us now, especially Kansas. Lawrence (home to the University of Kansas) is the only town in which I could see myself living happily, but the state politics would probably be too much.

People are lovely, once you get to know them. We got through very tough times with the help of kind neighbors.

I know a lot of Kansas transplants who are extremely happy in the Denver area. I hate to be disloyal to my home, but I think your answer is Denver.[/quote]
