My Review (6)
I give Kansas City a 6 out of 10. I like the Missouri area of Kansas City. I didn't really know much about it before. I always knew the Kansas area wasn't well-liked, and I still am not a big fan of it. I don't like the suburbs or country, but I know a lot of people do, and that's fine. I like that Kansas City has so many barbecue restaurants. It also has a lot of great reviews, most restaurants seem to have at least 3 1/2 stars. The science museum looks fun, there is a similar one near me in Jersey City. I haven't visited yet, so I'm not sure on my opinion yet!
