You both are probably taking for granted an item that makes this more detailed to a lot of our readers.
Mission, Kansas does’t sound like much to those that don’t know Kansas City. Mission, Kansas is one of the wealthiest old suburbs of Kansas City, Missouri.
When Ewing Kaufmann, the founder of Marion Labs and the inital owner of the Kansas City Royals wanted a home, it was in Mission, Kansas. This is not a “tough” area, it has no urban crime area or people traveling there of matter of course.
This is the rich kids police force community dealing with property crime occasionally and protecting the well heeled. Its the Hamptons of Kansas City in some ways. Now readers, visualize their variety of cops on that force.
Are you sure you’re not thinking of Mission Hills? Mission Hills is definitely very ritzy and that’s where the Kaufmanns lived and the Halls and a bunch of other wealthy Kansas City folks. Mission is nice, an older middle class suburb to the west of Mission Hills.
Mission, KS is not Mission Hills, KS
Mission is pretty much a middle class community run by some of the dumbest folks around. Can you say Driveway tax!!
Mission Hills on the other hand, ooo la la!!!
