Things to do in Kansas City
Kansas City straddles the Missouri–Kansas state line, and its economy reaches across both sides: Hallmark, H&R Block and engineering firms such as Burns & McDonnell and Black & Veatch are based here, the Federal Reserve Bank of Kansas City oversees a district that stretches to the Rockies, and the region is a center for animal health, logistics and data centers. It is also a city with a strong personal identity, built on stockyard-era barbecue, the jazz that grew up around 18th and Vine, fountains in nearly every neighborhood and an intense loyalty to the Chiefs and Royals.
