[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Kansas City is awesome! Pre-kids I visited family there at least once a year. There is plenty to do. I'm not sure how culturally diverse it is though. I grew up in a midsize city and the one thing that would make me hesitant to go back is lack of cultural diversity and the opportunity to see minorities in diverse economic positions. As the parent of mixed race children who are 1/2 Latino, it is important to me that my children don't see minorities as relegated to being poor, as is largely the case where I grew up. [/quote]

+1.  This would be my hesitation too.  I am originally from a midwestern city that was also very cultured in terms of wonderful arts and music scene, emerging as a foodie destination, etc...so on that front KC sounds amazing.  But one thing I love about DC is the diversity...and not just "American" diversity (in terms of black, white, Latino).  We had those three types in my hometown as well, and lots of it (my parents used to love "how diverse" my school was).  But being in DC (at least in my particular suburb) just takes it to a whole new level with all of the international residents.  I really do love that my children have many friends who speak so many different languages, are from so many varied religious backgrounds (including no religion at all), and that a good number of the diverse students are from well educated and thriving families.  I wouldn't be opposed to leaving DC for the right opportunity, but I would definitely miss that aspect of this area.[/quote]
