But, the Plaza (and the majority of Kansas City) is nice, so no worries there. Sorta like St. Louis...it's a great city, but everyone says if you venture into East St. Louis, you're taking your life into your own hands. Every city has its bad parts! Doesn't make it a bad city!!!!   |
KC doesn't have a rep for being ghetto, it has a rep for having a nice black population and a good concert venue. I am black so thas why i think its really sad that ghetto was brought up. when i think of ghetto i think of people referring to area's where there are poor black people depending on ur income level.
wheather it be in ST Louis Kansas or even Puerto Rico (which my moms cousin described as ghetto) Good planning would make a trip to any city a great experience. I love KCK more cause my favorite relatives are there. they have awesome shopping and the party scene is also awesome. It would be even better if you guys actually had someone in the area to check things out and do a walk through on whatever you have scheduled. You probably already do have someone to do that.
I am excited either way and maybe I will see a side of KC MO through ur eyes that I never saw lol
