★ A Sassy Look At A Midwestern Gem ★
Kansas City is best known for barbecue, jazz, Harry Truman and dozens of beautiful fountains. But it's also home to James Beard Award winning chefs, really big spiders and shuttlecocks, and the National World War I Museum.
From a steamboat buried in the Missouri River and a crime boss who was buddies with the president to Walt Disney's first studio and the invention of the cup holder in movie theater seats, KC has some great stories to tell.
Play baseball with the Negro Leagues and shoot hoops where the NCAA was founded. Dance in a public fountain. Take a gondola ride. Drink a beer at Missouri's largest American-owned brewery. Ponder those hair curlers on the convention center.
This guide gives you the facts, as well as a little sass and trash talk as only longtime residents of the city can provide. Who would you ask about the controversial newspaper ad for the Blueberry Margaritas or what services Count Basie received at the Phoenix Jazz Bar?
You would ask locals who know and love their home it despite all of its warts and tiaras. This is not the polished, sanitized Kansas City. This is the real Kansas City, a Midwestern Gem.

Customer Reviews
Great for locals and tourists alike
In KC now and have been trying to pinpoint the best things to do with our free time. This app lets you browse by name or - better yet- look at sites on a map. You can even filter the map to show only certain site types like 'child friendly'. This will certainly help us pick spots!
Awesome!
I have lived in Kansas City all my life, and I am absolutely blown away by this app. I have found places I have known all my life that I love and ones that I have yet to explore... Awesome!
Excellent app
This is an excellent app.......I grew up in KC and there are places listed here that I didn't even know about. I am in the process of checking them out and so far everything is checking out as great as the writeup says. This is an app well worth getting. Come to KC and check it out!
