Indeed, there are some amazing towns across Mo., and I did not intend to besmirch them. I am re-editing that entry to hopefully reflect more accurately my sentiments. Thanks again! Everyone's comments have been so helpful!
Thanks for taking the time to grace this site as well.
And yeah, it is pertinent to note the conditions of S/SE, and I suspected that Cass County was too far to count in the assessment despite
technically being connected to the city through sprawl (a whole other issue).
However, though while it was nice to note Lee's Summit, I saw no mention of Independence (unless I missed it and/or it is someplace you are going to cover later).
In the grand scheme of things, I reiterate that it was still a nice review, and it is good to see a nicely nuanced view of this city that still comes off a positive, despite the (well-noted) warts.
The part about the highway signs still cracks me up; been driving around regularly for several years' worth already, and I still get confused on occasion, notably on 435 and 470.
