When people ask, “What makes Kansas City special?”, it can be tough to put your finger on the answer. Sure, there’s the Jazz and barbecue; the Chiefs and Royals and Sporting KC; the Kauffman Center, the nightlife, and of course, the streetcar. But are any of those things unique to KC? Many cities have great food, music, and sports teams. They have better theaters and public transportation. They’re bigger, or on the ocean, or in the mountains. Yet anyone who has spent time in Kansas City knows, without a doubt, that there is something special here. The problem is identifying what that something is.
