You have to admit, Kansas City is a pretty amazing place to live. With so much to see and do we can get a little spoiled here, can’t we? So if you ever moved away from Kansas City (and really, why would you?) there are a few things you will never be able to forget about this Midwestern gem.

1. Kansas City's skyline is pretty darn amazing.

2. No other BBQ will ever compare.

Seriously. If you leave the city don't even try.
3. People who don't understand "Wear Red" Friday are just weird.

It's Chiefs Kingdom, after all, starting in the fall.
4. You know you'll never root for another baseball team the same after 2015.

Even if you weren't a baseball fan, you kind of feel like crying anytime anyone talks about the Royals winning the 2015 World Series.
5. There's no fall like a Kansas City fall.

September and October are a glorious refuge after July and August.
