I love Kansas City and is a great city to live in beautiful weather, no traffic at all, beautiful city, kind people, near a lake called Smithville Lake, after Rome it has the most fountains in the WORLD. Has several amusment parks such as Worlds of Fun, an awesome amusment park with tons of great rides such as the Mamba, Patriot, and the Prowler., Oceans of Fun, and Schlitterbaun. The Kansas City Zoo in Swope Park is good too. The best place in all time to live in.

Personally unless you have high altitude intolerance, Denver would be in the top 3 places in the U.S.A. in which I would love to live. Denver has a nice climate it is very clean, the air is crisp and for the most part the people are very warm and welcoming to outsiders.
