30 Questions I Have For Kansas City, Missouri

As a KCMO native, you tend to notice things around town. The many wonders that are Kansas City tend to leave me in shock.These are some of the question I have for Kansas City, Missouri.

1. Why is it whenever someone says Kansas City, they automatically assume we're talking about Kansas?

Honestly, have you ever seen pictures of Kansas City, Kansas and Kansas City, Missouri next to each other? One has beautiful buildings, the other is flat.

2. Why aren't there more malls?

I do not enjoy driving all the way to Oak Park Mall when I have to do good shopping. Zona Rosa works well, but it doesn't have as many opportunities.

3. Why are there one million different ways to get to the same place?

I do not enjoy always feeling like I'm lost when I try to find a new way to a place.

4. Why are there St. Louis fans here?

Here, we are loyal and Royal. We have a tomahawk chop that is record breaking. Get out of town.

5. Why do people freak out when they hear snow and ice?

Seriously, it's not the end of the world. There is no need to buy a month's worth of groceries for something that will last three days if that.

6. Why is the weather so unpredictable?

I hate dressing for the cold in the morning and then sweating to death by the afternoon.

7. How can people not like Salvador Perez?

I mean, come on.

8. Why can't the Chiefs win a game when it counts?

All we are asking for is a Superbowl appearance.

9. Who else already missed Wade Davis?

If you are unaware who Wade Davis is, let me explain. He was a Royals closing pitcher who was basically a machine.

10. Why does the rest of the country think that we're all country folk that drive big trucks?

Like, I can barely drive my Ford Fiesta, let alone my dad's F-150.

11. Why do people continuously walk in front of moving cars?

It's seriously not that hard. Stop, let the car pass by and then walk. You terrify me every time.

12. Why is there always traffic at the Grand View Triangle when there is no accident?

If there is no reason for the traffic, then why is it there.

13. Why is it when you meet someone they say, "I'm from a small town you've never heard of."

At least give me a fighting chance.

14. But at the same time, why don't we know more towns in Missouri?

Who knew there was a Noel, Missouri

15. Why is I-35 South always chaotic?

Especially when you are driving in the downtown area. It's like frogger, but for cars.

16. How can anyone say that any city other than Kansas City has the best barbecue?

If you've ever heard someone say this, they are lying to you.

17. Why do more people not know what Island Ice is?

It's a small shaved ice stand off of Antioch Road that has the best shaved ice.

18. Why is it acceptable to wear shorts in the middle of winter?

You make me cold looking at you.

19. Why don't fall and spring exist as seasons?

It's either extremely hot or extremely cold. There is no in-between.

20. Why are we referred to as flyover country?

There are a lot of cool things to see in Kansas City. We're beyond underestimated.

21. How can anyone ever say that the Cardinals are better than the Royals?

This should never be a statement. The Royals are the best, hands down.

22. Why is it humid 3/4 of the year?

I would like to wear my hair down without looking like a troll doll by the end of the day.

23. Why do people make signs saying "You're not in Kansas anymore" when at sporting events?

You are correct. 2/3 of the sports teams that have Kansas City in the title are from Missouri, not Kansas.

24. Why can't Arrowhead host a superbowl?

Even if the Chiefs can't make it there, that doesn't mean we can't host one.

25. Why can't every Friday be First Friday?

If you've ever been to the Crossroads and the Art district during First Friday, you'll understand what I'm talking about.

26. Who else wants a Wataburger in Kansas City?

Wataburger has the best shakes and fast food you'll have in your entire life.

27. Why isn't there a better way to get Kauffman and Arrowhead on game days?

It's chaos, but an organized chaos.

28.Why does the show "The Middle" perfectly reflect the midwest?

Watch the show and I can guarantee there is more than one thing that reminds you of your life.

29. Why do people say that we don't know how to drive?

People in Kansas City know how to drive in the manner necessary to get around town. People from Kansas City do not, therefore, causing difficulties. You don't know how to drive.

30. Why is Kansas City such a great place to live?

I wouldn't want to call any other city my home.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
