Introducing Kansas City
Big, open and inviting, Kansas City (KC) is famed for its BBQ (100-plus joints slather it on), fountains (over 200; on par with Rome) and jazz. While the latter doesn’t swing as it did when hometown hero Charlie Parker was around blowing notes, there are still plenty of places getting into the groove. These days, KC has sobered up to become more tax town than sax town – the Internal Revenue Service and H&R Block have huge headquarters here – but visitors have no problem finding fun.
