OP and Olathe 2 of the top 15 places to live in America?

since when did lee's summit become eastern jackson county?

[bbqboy]

A lot of the groceries and daily items I need I can get from the QuikTrip up the street.

....um, that's not what life's supposed to be about. Do you need a break from urban life?
You can come camp out in the Western Wilderness for a while and decompress.

huh?

[kard]

huh?

He's bragging about the wilderness of the West Coast north of San Francisco.

Stop it! 

[bbqboy]

I'm not bragging. No one should spend their time buying essential products at a Quik Trip. That boy needs a break!

[Tosspot]

I don't buy everything at quiktrip of course, just stuff like coffee, bananas, ramen noodles, cat food & litter, potato chips....used to buy cigarettes there everyday too but now I'm paying myself not to smoke.

[chrizow]

isn't the Westport Sunfresh closer and cheaper?  with a better selection?

the crack rocks available in the Sunfresh parking lot are also preferable to those found in the QT parking lot.

[Tosspot]

My dwelling is one minute's walk away from the Westport QT, SunFresh is much farther away; If I'm feeling feisty I do sometimes make the walk to Sun Fresh, or if I'm already in Westport somewhere. But usually, if I can buy it at Quik Trip that's where I get it, like pop, junk food, sometimes cat food, or whatever.

for some reason i was thinking of the QT over at 43rd and Main instead of the one 200 ft. from your dwelling.  I SMART.

[Tosspot]

Crack rocks, however, are likely to be found in not only the Sunfresh parking lagoon but both QT car park areas as well. It's a known fact.

no no, that is the QT two blocks from MY apartment where I scrounge for crack rocks.


I like to laugh at people cussing and smacking their steering wheel at the chaos of getting an open pump there.  apparently that is the only gas station suburbanites coming from the plaza know about. when i have to get gas for the vehicle im forced to drive by umkc for a research project, i go over to the paseo and whiz in and out.

You crack me up. Listen I don't think it is helping KC's urban image when a resident tries to use QT as a grocery store.

It is sad commentary indeed that the state of the city's urbanity has descended to the level of a QuikTrip filling station design abortion serving as neighborhood corner store, I agree.

[voltopt]

if you would walk down wyoming to 39th street, there is a grocery store across the street from Crave Cafe.  There is also a farmer's market intermittenly in the Crave parking lot.  And there are some sundrys to be found at mr. z's and the liqour store on bell street.

That whole list should just be called "15 Places where you are the least likely to have a black, brown, or poor neighbor"

Then Olathe would definitely not make the cut.

Nearly 15% of Olathe are of Hispanic descent.  That's roughly 15,000 folks.

Olathe's growth is mostly middle class white people. I have searched and not one resource I have seen puts Olathe's hispanic population above 10%. In fact as of the 2000 census only 5.4% of Olathe was hispanic.
