KC Rules!!!!

[Lady Freedom]

[patrice]

1. I love KC - Most of it anyway, even if part of it is in Kansas.

My homestate can be kind of hard-headed.

Hare bo!

[DrDan]

2. We lived in KC for a couple of years - the Missouri

side of course.

We really enjoyed the city - except . . . .

for the weather. It sucks.

Good sports. Lots of live music. Nelson Art Gallery. Plaza. Best BBQ in the country (IMHO - I love GATES!)

4. I like Arthur Bryant's better.

[DrDan]

7. Bryant's is great

except it is always packed.

There used to be another great place south of Richards-Gebaur a mile or more. Used to hit that place every month or so.

Hard to beat KC BBQ!

Also - There is a great Chicken Place (family style) - dont remember the name of it - down around 75th south or so off Paseo (or on Paseo)

And a great steak place down south (Jess and Jim's????)

Hard to keep weight down living in KC. Not the most health food in the land.

8. Jess and Jim's is good.

Everything is smothered in butter and lard.
We have a place in my town called Perry Fosters. Killer BBQ! He just opened up a new one in Independence. He makes the best sweet potato fries.

13. Jess and Jim's is a wonderful steak spot.

10. Are you thinking of Stroud's?

Great fried chicken, but I'm not sure it was on Paseo. I seem to remember it being on Troost. My memory is not what it used to be, and besides, I haven't been there in years.

[DrDan]

11. Strouds - that's it

yeah - probably on Troost

I moved away from there 20 years ago - so my memory is a bit shaky.

[loudestchick]

12. Stroud's is actually beneath Troost on 85th St. You take a little ramp

down off Troost and there it is...Pan Fried Chicken at it's very best!

[loudestchick]

15. I actually like the weather, snow, rain, ice, boiling temps w/ 85% humid

Yeah, the weather sucks.

[patrice]

17. It's very nice today. Weather overall has been becoming more moderate

for a few years now. Milder winters, more like Portland in the winter.

[xmas74]

3. I do like KC

I live about 40 minutes out. The Nelson is the best!

[patrice]

18. And the Kemper Art Museum. And Lawrence is so close.

Have you ever eaten at 40 Sardines. Best restaurant in my considerable restaurant experience. I barely cook at all anymore.

[maveric]

5. So did The Sunshine Band.

[loudestchick]

6. I love it here in KC! It's other parts of my state that I have issues w/.

Matt Blunt? What were they thinking? Too much Kool-Aid...God , Gays and Guns! Praise Jeebus!

[xmas74]

9. I'm stuck in a part

where people thought that Blunt was wonderful. Hell, a few of my friends voted for him. It really sucks!

[loudestchick]

14. I keep asking the people I know, who voted for the prom king, where is his

magic school finance hat? Still waiting.

[xmas74]

16. Daddy is doing the financing for him right now.

20. Hey, I lived in Tulsa for a while; they elected that football player Watt
