    I guess Joplin or Branson would be the only other options, but I haven’t lived there in years.

    KCMO does not want to be in another state, because it is far, far superior - and older than its Kansas counterpart, which oddly enough is named after it.

    That’s right.

    Kansas City, KS is named after Kansas City, MO

      Yep. The Kansas River was originally named after the native Kansa (or Kaw) tribe. Then the city was named after the river. Then a while later, the state was also named after the river and the other city was named after the first city. Clear as the muddy river.

      Branson is a shithole tourist trap that’s dead or dying.

      Joplin is famous for its tornado.

      those two aren’t doing Missouri any favors.
