Contrary
to popular belief, Kansas City, a bi-state metropolitan region that comprises
10 counties and parts of Kansas and Missouri, is not on the plains.
It
is on a series of hills. Rising up suddenly from the flatlands to the
west, green and twinkling on the bluffs above the confluence of the Missouri
and Kansas Rivers, Kansas City is generally agreed to have been the inspiration
for L. Frank Baum's Emerald City of Oz.
Visitors
who expect the metropolitan area to be totally flat and corn-rowed are
delighted by its hilliness (elevation ranges from 72 feet to 1,105 feet
above sea level), as well as it's leafy boulevards, elegant shopping and
its cosmopolitan mix of people – few of them cowboys.

Culture
overflows in Kansas City. It spills out into the streets as free concerts
and festivals are help in parks and parking lots, at shopping centers
and on the steps of public buildings. Sculpture and fountains – more
than in any other city in the world – dot the parks, or enhance buildings
and boulevards.
Festivals
celebrating Kansas City's rich ethnic mix abound. With more than two dozen
colorful celebrations yearly, Kansas City, Kansas, is known as the "City
of Festivals." It's all part of the sensory and cultural abundance
that is Kansas City.
The
Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art – usually ranked among the top eight
general art museums in America – holds one of the finest Oriental
collections in the Western world, as well as memorable works by such artists
as Monet and Caravaggio.
People
who move to Kansas City have the same thing to say, no matter where they
come from. They comment on how friendly the general population is and
how easy it is to fit into their new neighborhood.
