Was listed as the largest in the nation at 1000 acres, a little larger than Central Park's 843 acres in New York. But South Mountain Park within the city of Phoenix, Arizona, is 16,500 acres- just a bit larger: (11 miles across and 58 miles of trails). -- Blainster 08:45, 11 Apr 2005 (UTC)
What's the city's internal transportation system like? Does it use light rail or just buses? That part of the article, found in other city articles, is missing. -Amit
I came here looking to find out about transportation, too... and I did not find an article on it. You can talk about Freeways, Kansas City Metro "The Bus", and your new MAX (Metropolitan Area Express) rail system... not to be confused with Portland's. Another great thing to discuss is the river traffic, and more about the ports. Transportation is not just buses and rail (especially not in kansas city.

Despite the past problems Kansas City has faced in finding support for and maintaining its mass transit system, current trends show that its use is on the rise. The Metro Area bus system transports approximately 50,000 people each day, and with the current renovation of the downtown area , as well as the addition of new Metro Area eXpress line, this is only expected to rise. River traffic, as Alphalife mentioned, is also a very good topic of discussion. I am currently doing research in an attempt to expand this section of the article.

Kansas City has the 27th largest metropolitan in the nation (population 1,836,038), while St. Louis is 18th, with 2,698,687. Therefore, St. Louis is the largest metropolitan in Missouri.

There is an outline of Jackson County, Missouri showing (in red) the KCMO city limites in that county. But, there are 2 problems...

2. The city limits of Kansas City (shown in red on the outline) are also incorrect.

The counties showing the KCMO city limits in red are CORRECT. They look great (in my opinion). But, is there any way to add Platte County, Missouri on there to make the image most accurate?

In the event this comes up for arbitration, I am inclined to favor that the link to a KC area restaurant guide not be listed. It appears as though restaurants must pay to be listed on this guide.

Lets add the link to just the KC Missouri page. I see that some others feel that it isnt spam, and the way i feel is that people can use it for free to find some information on the Culinary aspect of KC. I am going to add the link once more to the KC missouri page and hope we can agree that it should be there.
Let me make one more point. This link is not here in order to have restaurants/restaurant owners find it and then pay money to be on the guide. I doubt any restaurant owners will come through the Wiki and see a restaurant guide link and feel the need to pay to be included. I do see many restaurant patrons coming through and finding the guide quite useful if they are planning a business trip, a vacation, or a permanent move to KC. I do not see anyway that the actual site will make money from this link, and I personally have used this guide on several occasions while traveling to and through KC.
I vote we all leave the link alone and see who else comes along to argue its place.
Does anyone have any information at all about this strange, mysterious stone building, obviously deserted complete with broken windows and unhinged doors, with letters on the top, very faded, saying "ASYLUM"? It is located near the corner of 18th Street and Forest Avenue. Any info at all would be very much appreciated.
REPLY: I'm not sure if there's an exact address. It looks like it probably doesn't even have an address or any records anymore. It's at probably 1803 Forest Ave., I'm guessing, I say this because it's one building down from what would be 1801 Forest, which is right up at that corner. -- 10:02, 30 January 2006
REPLY: 1826 Forest Ave. was the home of the Wheatley Hospital in the 1930's
Although it is not directly related to the Kansas City page, there was a feature film titled "The Delinquents" made by Robert Altman in Kansas City in the mid-'50s. It has been suggested we "clean up" the article on that film. Any suggestions? Also, our article "Film in Kansas City" has been tagged for clean-up. Once again, any suggestions for these two articles?

In this section it is mentioned that KC is hoping for an NBA or NHL team to fill the Sprint Arena; this much is common enough knowledge.

I was looking up a local KC celebrity of the past (Shelby Storck) in city directories, and found that between 1920 and 1940, he lived in a house (with his mother, grandfather, and uncle) at 1810 E 49th St. I looked for the address (which is in a rather depressing slum area just down the block from Paseo High School) in my car and found that it is now a vacant lot, and that half of the space the old house occupied is now occupied by one half of a more modern-looking (perhaps 1960's-1970's?) duplex. A search for any info on this address on the internet in the Kansas City Public Library "Local History" file yielded no results, but I was wondering if there was any way to access city property records to find when and why the home was demolished. Or perhaps pictures of the house when it was still standing. Or anything (lol.). Thanks. --- Mike14
I recently got a blog entry in an e-mail that claims the government is considering a plan to declare Kansas City, MO a "port" under Mexican sovereignty. Is this actually being considered, or is it just paranoid rambling? JDspeeder1 18:04, 11 August 2006 (UTC)
There's been something like 5-10 edits today changing the quantity comparison between population of the St Louis Metro vs the Kansas City Metro areas. It looks like some want to use 2000 Census figures, while others want to use more recent estimates, and I'm not sure but I think some are inexplicably trying to use a combination of the two. I suggest you discuss it here and get it out of your systems,if it's so important to you. Really, though, I don't think that little factoid is all that important, and not that useful - either you're using figures 6 years out of date, or figures that are rough estimates at best. <br\>Anyways, have at it. -- Reverend Loki 21:32, 16 August 2006 (UTC)
I do not think this map serves any purpose and should be removed from the article. There are plenty of graphics that could replace it. The map tries to bracket downtown between I-70 and I-670 while the Downtown Kansas City article notes downtown is between the Missouri River and 31st Street. Americasroof 03:28, 31 August 2006 (UTC)
Officially, according to City Hall and the Downtown Council, Downtown is regarded as from River to 31st St. and I-35 to Bruce R. Watkins. Mayor Kay Barnes and others regard Greater Downtown as a reference to Downtown, Midtown, Westport and the Plaza. I personally choose to go with the official definitions. The Loop is simply the Downtown Loop, a part of Downtown as a whole. As is Crown Center, the River Market and the Crossroads. -- KCMODevin 03:14, 30 September 2006 (UTC)

Besides the fact that the description of Arthur Bryant taking over Henry Perry's barbecue stand needs to be rewritten to make it clear that Perry opened his stand after migrating from Memphis in 1921 and that it was Perry's sauce that got molasses added to it, I think I need to take issue with the description of both it and Gates' sauce as containing molasses, let alone more molasses.
Gates' sauce uses brown sugar as a sweetener. (Granted, brown sugar is merely refined white sugar to which molasses has been added back, but it's still not the same as molasses.) And Gates' Original sauce lacks the sweetness of KC Masterpiece, which is heavy on the molasses. Nor did Bryant use molasses in his sauce; the ingredient list on bottles of Bryant's Original sauce list "sugar" among the "seasonings" used. (One unusual ingredient it contains: lard.)
Neither Gates' Original nor Bryant's Original has the cloying sweetness of KC Masterpiece or most of the sauces identified as "Kansas City-style" outside the city - or, for that matter, several of the Kansas City sauces developed in Masterpiece's wake, such as Cowtown. Both companies added sweeter sauces to their product lines after KC Masterpiece became a big national seller. To this day, most better barbecue sauces in the city, such as Q39, don't have the pronounced sweetness of Masterpiece, though they are sweeter than either Bryant's or Gates' original sauces.
Gates', in fact, is noteworthy for its spiciness relative to other "regular" KC sauces: when it introduced a sweeter version, it was labeled Sweet & Mild.
I will alter the passage in the main article accordingly.
As to where I claim authority, check my bona fides. I was born and raised in Kansas City and ate my share of both Gates' and Bryant's Q growing up (I generally prefer Gates). I return home fairly regularly to boot. Marketstel ( talk) 03:32, 30 September 2018 (UTC)
A spokesman for the A.D.L. said that before Saturday’s shooting the deadliest anti-Semitic attack in recent United States history was in 1985, when a man killed a family of four in Seattle. He had mistakenly thought that they were Jewish. More recently, in 2014, a white supremacist opened fire outside a Jewish Community Center in a suburb of Kansas City, Mo., killing three people.

As of Dec 17, 2018, the link to "Washington Square Park" is obviously not correct.
It links to a park of the same name in New York City, New York.
One correct link for Kansas City's Washington Square Park would be as follows:

My suggested link takes the reader to an official KC government web site. It seems to me the info on the recommended site would be appropriate and useful. Forgchum046 ( talk) 16:19, 17 December 2018 (UTC) Forrest

User:Flyingsquirrel1234 has been adding the two images (located to the right) to the article, to both the lead and the infobox. This editor has also been deleted the pushpin map from the infobox. I have reverted this edit a few times, but seek the input of other editors. The content of the image is unsourced original research, and the image, per MOS:IMAGES, are blurry and low quality. Thank you. Magnolia677 ( talk) 16:38, 8 January 2019 (UTC)
I think you guys can compromise. The picture with the labeled rivers should stay where it is because it’s related to the text. but I think one of you should move the population density map to Demographics. It looks fairly accurate to me based on the population density of the cities in those areas. I’ll just move it there for you. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Midwestman1986 ( talk • contribs) 17:08, 8 January 2019 (UTC)
I moved the density map to demographics where it should be. I don’t think he understand how a pushpin map works. He was complaining about there being 2 pictures of Missouri. The image in the lead should stay there because it does complement the lead well. That’s what he intended to do I think they were good faith edits. He also edited on Kansas City metropolitan area page and added the county codes along with a more recent map. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Midwestman1986 ( talk • contribs) 17:29, 8 January 2019 (UTC)

The section on the city's 20th-century streetcar network should be located under "Infrastructure" instead of "History." In addition, it should form part of a historical section under "Public transportation" that also includes the cable car network (IIRC, the city's late-19th-century cable car system was more extensive than San Francisco's), the 9th Street Incline (which the 8th Street tunnel was built to replace) and the Inter-State Elevated Railway, which carried the streetcars on an elevated structure across the West Bottoms between KCMo and KCK. ( This article about an elevated streetcar line in Baltimore also mentions the Inter-State el.) Finally, while it may well have been the first streetcar tunnel built in the country — a statement I would have to fact-check, as I am not aware this has been claimed — the 8th Street tunnel was not, as the current section claims, "an underground streetcar system through the city" — it was just one segment of a line, built to surmount the problem of getting cable cars down the bluff separating Downtown from the West Bottoms (the purpose for which the 9th Street Incline had been built).

If I get time, I will fix this myself, but the council-manager city government was not "created in response to the excesses of the Pendergast years." H.F. McElroy served as city manager throughout the 1930s, when the Pendergast machine was at its zenith; he was in charge of the city during the years of the Ten-Year Plan that channelized Brush Creek, built the Southwest and Southeast (Van Brunt Boulevard Extension/Brush Creek Boulevard) trafficways, and gave the city its skyscraper City Hall. I need to see when the city adopted its current council-manager form of government, but it was either before or during the Pendergast era. Marketstel ( talk) 14:11, 24 July 2021 (UTC)

The section describing the federal representation of the city is incorrect. Most notably the part that says "all of Kansas City proper north of the Missouri River" is in the 5th district. Much of that region is within the 6th district. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 136.37.31.220 ( talk) 02:47, 7 November 2021 (UTC)
In the section subtitled "Troost redlining and white flight" is the following:
"During the civil rights era the city blocked people of color from moving to homes west of Troost Avenue, causing the areas east of Troost to have one of the worst murder rates in the country."
First, I read the article linked at the conclusion of the paragraph and found no mention of this causal relationship. Perhaps the two historical facts are correlated, but to suggest that blocking POC from the west side caused more murder on the east side is at best a misunderstanding. At its worst, restated it says that when POC are living near one another they are more inclined to kill one another. 2603:9000:CC12:F699:85D0:CEF1:C0F:5894 ( talk) 15:35, 14 January 2024 (UTC)

I do see many restaurant patrons coming through and finding the guide quite useful if they are planning a business trip, a vacation, or a permanent move to KC. I do not see anyway that the actual site will make money from this link, and I personally have used this guide on several occasions while traveling to and through KC.
I vote we all leave the link alone and see who else comes along to argue its place.
Does anyone have any information at all about this strange, mysterious stone building, obviously deserted complete with broken windows and unhinged doors, with letters on the top, very faded, saying "ASYLUM"? It is located near the corner of 18th Street and Forest Avenue. Any info at all would be very much appreciated.
REPLY: I'm not sure if there's an exact address. It looks like it probably doesn't even have an address or any records anymore. It's at probably 1803 Forest Ave., I'm guessing, I say this because it's one building down from what would be 1801 Forest, which is right up at that corner. -- 10:02, 30 January 2006
REPLY: 1826 Forest Ave. was the home of the Wheatley Hospital in the 1930's
Although it is not directly related to the Kansas City page, there was a feature film titled "The Delinquents" made by Robert Altman in Kansas City in the mid-'50s. It has been suggested we "clean up" the article on that film. Any suggestions? Also, our article "Film in Kansas City" has been tagged for clean-up. Once again, any suggestions for these two articles?

There appear to be a considerable amount of editors interested in writing and/or contributing to articles about the Kansas City area. Should we form a WikiProject aimed at adding or improving these articles? (Oh, and I hope someone's taken a photo of "the Scout" at Penn Valley Park - that'd be a great project logo and stub icon.) -- KHill-LTown 00:17, 31 January 2006 (UTC)

In this section it is mentioned that KC is hoping for an NBA or NHL team to fill the Sprint Arena; this much is common enough knowledge. It also mentions that the two most likely teams to move to KC are the Sacremento Kings and the Orlando Magic. Anyone have a source on this fact? -- Reverend Loki 22:07, 13 July 2006 (UTC)

I was looking up a local KC celebrity of the past (Shelby Storck) in city directories, and found that between 1920 and 1940, he lived in a house (with his mother, grandfather, and uncle) at 1810 E 49th St. I looked for the address (which is in a rather depressing slum area just down the block from Paseo High School) in my car and found that it is now a vacant lot, and that half of the space the old house occupied is now occupied by one half of a more modern-looking (perhaps 1960's-1970's?) duplex. A search for any info on this address on the internet in the Kansas City Public Library "Local History" file yielded no results, but I was wondering if there was any way to access city property records to find when and why the home was demolished. Or perhaps pictures of the house when it was still standing. Or anything (lol.). Thanks. --- Mike14
I recently got a blog entry in an e-mail that claims the government is considering a plan to declare Kansas City, MO a "port" under Mexican sovereignty. Is this actually being considered, or is it just paranoid rambling? JDspeeder1 18:04, 11 August 2006 (UTC)
There's been something like 5-10 edits today changing the quantity comparison between population of the St Louis Metro vs the Kansas City Metro areas. It looks like some want to use 2000 Census figures, while others want to use more recent estimates, and I'm not sure but I think some are inexplicably trying to use a combination of the two. I suggest you discuss it here and get it out of your systems,if it's so important to you. Really, though, I don't think that little factoid is all that important, and not that useful - either you're using figures 6 years out of date, or figures that are rough estimates at best. <br\>Anyways, have at it. -- Reverend Loki 21:32, 16 August 2006 (UTC)
I do not think this map serves any purpose and should be removed from the article. There are plenty of graphics that could replace it. The map tries to bracket downtown between I-70 and I-670 while the Downtown Kansas City article notes downtown is between the Missouri River and 31st Street. Americasroof 03:28, 31 August 2006 (UTC)
Officially, according to City Hall and the Downtown Council, Downtown is regarded as from River to 31st St. and I-35 to Bruce R. Watkins. Mayor Kay Barnes and others regard Greater Downtown as a reference to Downtown, Midtown, Westport and the Plaza. I personally choose to go with the official definitions. The Loop is simply the Downtown Loop, a part of Downtown as a whole. As is Crown Center, the River Market and the Crossroads. -- KCMODevin 03:14, 30 September 2006 (UTC)

Besides the fact that the description of Arthur Bryant taking over Henry Perry's barbecue stand needs to be rewritten to make it clear that Perry opened his stand after migrating from Memphis in 1921 and that it was Perry's sauce that got molasses added to it, I think I need to take issue with the description of both it and Gates' sauce as containing molasses, let alone more molasses.
Gates' sauce uses brown sugar as a sweetener. (Granted, brown sugar is merely refined white sugar to which molasses has been added back, but it's still not the same as molasses.) And Gates' Original sauce lacks the sweetness of KC Masterpiece, which is heavy on the molasses. Nor did Bryant use molasses in his sauce; the ingredient list on bottles of Bryant's Original sauce list "sugar" among the "seasonings" used. (One unusual ingredient it contains: lard.)
Neither Gates' Original nor Bryant's Original has the cloying sweetness of KC Masterpiece or most of the sauces identified as "Kansas City-style" outside the city - or, for that matter, several of the Kansas City sauces developed in Masterpiece's wake, such as Cowtown. Both companies added sweeter sauces to their product lines after KC Masterpiece became a big national seller. To this day, most better barbecue sauces in the city, such as Q39, don't have the pronounced sweetness of Masterpiece, though they are sweeter than either Bryant's or Gates' original sauces.
Gates', in fact, is noteworthy for its spiciness relative to other "regular" KC sauces: when it introduced a sweeter version, it was labeled Sweet & Mild.
I will alter the passage in the main article accordingly.
As to where I claim authority, check my bona fides. I was born and raised in Kansas City and ate my share of both Gates' and Bryant's Q growing up (I generally prefer Gates). I return home fairly regularly to boot. Marketstel ( talk) 03:32, 30 September 2018 (UTC)
A spokesman for the A.D.L. said that before Saturday’s shooting the deadliest anti-Semitic attack in recent United States history was in 1985, when a man killed a family of four in Seattle. He had mistakenly thought that they were Jewish. More recently, in 2014, a white supremacist opened fire outside a Jewish Community Center in a suburb of Kansas City, Mo., killing three people.

As of Dec 17, 2018, the link to "Washington Square Park" is obviously not correct.
It links to a park of the same name in New York City, New York.
One correct link for Kansas City's Washington Square Park would be as follows:
https://kcparks.org/places/washington-square-park/
My suggested link takes the reader to an official KC government web site. It seems to me the info on the recommended site would be appropriate and useful. Forgchum046 ( talk) 16:19, 17 December 2018 (UTC) Forrest

User:Flyingsquirrel1234 has been adding the two images (located to the right) to the article, to both the lead and the infobox. This editor has also been deleted the pushpin map from the infobox. I have reverted this edit a few times, but seek the input of other editors. The content of the image is unsourced original research, and the image, per MOS:IMAGES, are blurry and low quality. Thank you. Magnolia677 ( talk) 16:38, 8 January 2019 (UTC)
I think you guys can compromise. The picture with the labeled rivers should stay where it is because it’s related to the text. but I think one of you should move the population density map to Demographics. It looks fairly accurate to me based on the population density of the cities in those areas. I’ll just move it there for you. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Midwestman1986 ( talk • contribs) 17:08, 8 January 2019 (UTC)
I moved the density map to demographics where it should be. I don’t think he understand how a pushpin map works. He was complaining about there being 2 pictures of Missouri. The image in the lead should stay there because it does complement the lead well. That’s what he intended to do I think they were good faith edits. He also edited on Kansas City metropolitan area page and added the county codes along with a more recent map. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Midwestman1986 ( talk • contribs) 17:29, 8 January 2019 (UTC)
Fine, but I don’t know what you guys mean by blurry. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Flyingsquirrel1234 ( talk • contribs) 20:28, 8 January 2019 (UTC)

Adding University of Kansas Medical Center in Kansas City, Kansas to universities as a medical school in the metro area. Also the on-campus, Dykes Library which is right on campus. This is near the Westport area.
Consider adding Kansas Jayhawks of The University of Kansas in neaarby Lawrence, Kansas as this is fairly close to the city and is just outside the city. 2605:A601:AC6D:D00:8DBB:B4EC:C8A3:AD39 ( talk) 03:14, 28 September 2020 (UTC)

The section on the city's 20th-century streetcar network should be located under "Infrastructure" instead of "History." In addition, it should form part of a historical section under "Public transportation" that also includes the cable car network (IIRC, the city's late-19th-century cable car system was more extensive than San Francisco's), the 9th Street Incline (which the 8th Street tunnel was built to replace) and the Inter-State Elevated Railway, which carried the streetcars on an elevated structure across the West Bottoms between KCMo and KCK. ( This article about an elevated streetcar line in Baltimore also mentions the Inter-State el.) Finally, while it may well have been the first streetcar tunnel built in the country — a statement I would have to fact-check, as I am not aware this has been claimed — the 8th Street tunnel was not, as the current section claims, "an underground streetcar system through the city" — it was just one segment of a line, built to surmount the problem of getting cable cars down the bluff separating Downtown from the West Bottoms (the purpose for which the 9th Street Incline had been built).

If I get time, I will fix this myself, but the council-manager city government was not "created in response to the excesses of the Pendergast years." H.F. McElroy served as city manager throughout the 1930s, when the Pendergast machine was at its zenith; he was in charge of the city during the years of the Ten-Year Plan that channelized Brush Creek, built the Southwest and Southeast (Van Brunt Boulevard Extension/Brush Creek Boulevard) trafficways, and gave the city its skyscraper City Hall. I need to see when the city adopted its current council-manager form of government, but it was either before or during the Pendergast era. Marketstel ( talk) 14:11, 24 July 2021 (UTC)

The section describing the federal representation of the city is incorrect. Most notably the part that says "all of Kansas City proper north of the Missouri River" is in the 5th district. Much of that region is within the 6th district. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 136.37.31.220 ( talk) 02:47, 7 November 2021 (UTC)
In the section subtitled "Troost redlining and white flight" is the following:
"During the civil rights era the city blocked people of color from moving to homes west of Troost Avenue, causing the areas east of Troost to have one of the worst murder rates in the country."
First, I read the article linked at the conclusion of the paragraph and found no mention of this causal relationship. Perhaps the two historical facts are correlated, but to suggest that blocking POC from the west side caused more murder on the east side is at best a misunderstanding. At its worst, restated it says that when POC are living near one another they are more inclined to kill one another. 2603:9000:CC12:F699:85D0:CEF1:C0F:5894 ( talk) 15:35, 14 January 2024 (UTC)
