Keep telling yourself that...truth hurts. I have a lot of family down in that area but would never live in that area. SorryNot nearly as bad as St. Louis.

This is truth. Lived in CR for 19 years, and you know when Captain Crunch was being made. You also know when the wind is blowing from the south because the entire town reeks of *** from the paper plant just south of 30.

Hutchinson, KS.......snorer, but they have a salt mine, woohoo!
Oh god yes...KC worst place by far. I won't go as far as saying that I'll never set foot in that place again...it is a good place to visit and not to stay. Most of what you mentioned is more geared toward visitors.
P&L = Too saturated with d-bags from Johnson County
Westport = killed by P&L because of poor planning
Plaza = still ok for what it is worth, poor pedestrian planning though
Bonner Springs = if racing is your thing, not mine really, but not bad
KC Royals = Royally suck, American league bottom feeder...yawn
KC Chiefs = (see KC Royals above) yawn
Worlds of Fun = not bad
KC Zoo = no animals! Omaha has it beat.
Boulevard Brewing = my favorite product if the city, but you can get it other places in the Midwest.
Resturaunt/bars = again, if you live there you won't be going every night
Lake of the Ozarks = long travel for some form of recreational body of water, but ok.
St Louis/Omaha = long drive for such average cities.
But, to each their own. Try living in the city for a few years and you'll get it. Imagine the egotistical air of KU fans instilled in everyone from there or near there. But again, to each their own.
That reminds me...need to change my city in my profile.

Thank you my fine feathered ferret.
Let me tell you about Johnson County. People from there fail at life! (either Johnson County really... but in the case of the epic rant I heard, Johnson County, Kansas)
I have it on good authority from some belegerant drunk at a Kansas football game that people from Johnson county are a bunch of ****** bags, and that they fail at life.
People from Johnson County attend KU to wave the wheat, graduate, move BACK to Johnson County to buy a house in the suburbs, have kids, and send them to KU to repeat the cycle. People from Johnson County fail at life!
That is the final summary and key point of an epic 10 minute that I cannot even began to recreate in it's entirety. But let me assure you it was epic, emphatic and the ranter was most insistent that people from Johnson County fail at life.
It has been 2-1/2 years since that rant, and for those that were there to hear it, we have continued to spread the word regarding this failing at life by people from Johnson County, who attend KU to wave the wheat, graduate, move back to Johnson County to buy a house in the suburbs, and have kids to repeat the failing at life cycle.
You could not sit there hear it and not be moved by that speech. Whether it greatly amused you sitting amongst 35,000 wheat waving idiots who fail at life when you heard it, or whether you were moved by the folks around said drunken preacher asking us to move into his seats when he went to the bathroom so that he could not return to that location and continue his drunken rantings, you were moved by it.
Epicness my friends, epicness.
And incase you're to lazy to read that rambling post, let me sumerize it for you one last time

I lived on Capital Hill in DC for a brief time, and it was a mixed bag. Loved being close to the action, and loved the location, but the people were awful. Nothing but hipster liberals running around in pin-striped suits, or girls in short suit-skirts. You go to a bar, and all people want to talk about is the grassroots campagin they are helping their Representative with, or why we shouldn't be involed in some minor conflict in some irrelevant country. Great city, but the people wore on me quickly.
My wife is from there and everyone in Rochester will tell you that some stupid magazine listed it as the greatest place to live in 1996. They hang on to that like it is gospel.
Then I break out that Des Moines is listed by some publication every year as the best place to live. They come back with well I don't see a sign for it like Rochester does.
But you are correct every one works at Mayo or IBM.

This is going to surprise a lot of people, but after spending nearly 3 weeks there on a work trip, one of the last places in the world that I would want to live is Honolulu, HI. Yeah, early on early on in the trip you are mystified by just being in Hawaii, and you can't believe just how beautiful the place is. Then, as some time passes by, you begin noticing things. It's absolutely crowded and the traffic tends to be worse than in New York City (particularly on I-H1). It's far dirtier than anyone would ever realize. Waikiki is becoming run down, or at the very least, is showing its age (every resort on that beach looks at least 40 years old). It's industry and ports are either mixed in with or at least in plain sight of its touristy areas. There are a lot of rough areas in town, a lot of them close to Waikiki. It's hot and humid all the time, it's expensive as hell, and quite literally, once you're there, there is no escape.
Look, I'm not saying I didn't enjoy my visit there, because I did. The North Shore of Oahu is absolutely beautiful, Diamondhead gives you the best and most striking view of Waikiki, Mauna Loa Trail might be the most beautiful nature trail I've ever walked, the Pearl Harbor visit was mandatory and sobering, and the U of Hawaii might just be the most gorgeous college campus in the United States. But after almost 3 weeks of visiting there, I had seen enough to know that I would never want to live there, and if I ever go back to visit I want to go to another island.
