Here at KansasCityIsInMissouri.com, we receive several e-mails with geographically-oriented questions. We have assembled this list of commonly asked questions or "FAQs" to help educate the public.
- Isn't there also a Kansas City, Kansas?
- Ha! Oh, poor uneducated e-mail writer. This is a common urban legend. But no, there is no Kansas City, Kansas. Stop being silly.
- Aren't towns like Overland Park, Olathe and Shawnee vital to the Kansas City Metro?
- Of course! Without such vital suburbs as the ones you mentioned, there would be significantly fewer Olive Gardens, Pottery Barns and Old Navies. No one can underestimate the value of these contributions.
- Are there any simple clues to help me know if I'm in Kansas rather than Missouri?
- Absolutely! Here is a simple test you can perform to find out what state you are in. Ask a friendly citizen about their thoughts on evolution. If you are met with hostility and bible verses, chances are you're in Kansas!
- Aren't websites like this only serving to divide the populace of a metropolitan area separated only by a nominal state border?
- Whatever.
- Do you think this is funny? You're a dick.
- Thanks for writing! It is true that Missouri boasts vast quantities of naturally occurring limestone and is rated 6th in the nation for hog production.
