Most of metro KC is in Missour-rah, along with Kansas. This rag has always been leftist, going back to the days when Hemingway wrote there.
Well, I knew KC was on the state line, but the only time I flew in there we were going to a city in the state of KS, so I guess I had it in my mind as more of a KS town than a MO town (if that makes any sense).
My brief impression of KC was that it didn’t live up to the accolades it received in the old song “Everything’s up to date in Kansas City” in that old movie, “Oklahoma!”
