Grew up in KC (Shawnee, specifically). If you are from a large coastal city and want to get acquainted with life in the Midwest, KC is a good start. Certainly less of a shock than, say, Omaha or Wichita.
- waterlesscloud 14y agoKC is a reasonably culturally hip location as well. Decent music and arts scene. It's not San Francisco, but it beats the rest of Silicon Valley in that department. And the Nelson-Atkins Museum is better than anything in the Bay Area, in my opinion.
- niels_olson 14y agoBeen a while since I saw the Nelson-Atkins, but there are several solid museums in SF, as opposed to Nelson-Atkins being one of the few games in town in KC.
- waterlesscloud 14y agoThe Bay Area has more decent museums than KC, but it doesn't really have any outstanding museums. Kinda weird, really. KC has an ok modern art museum, and Lawrence KS has a decent museum at the university there.
