1. Everyone Will Think You\u2019re From Kansas<\/h2>\n

While you might know there\u2019s a Missouri side and a Kansas side to this city, out-of-staters won\u2019t. They\u2019ll simply assume that you\u2019re from Kansas thanks to the name of the place you love.
\nEven with the warning, you\u2019ll still be shocked by the average person\u2019s general lack of geographical knowledge when it comes to your home.<\/p>\n

2. You\u2019ll Definitely Hear Some Wizard Of Oz Jokes<\/h2>\n

Even though you\u2019re not actually from Kansas, you\u2019ll still get tired of hearing the \u201cWell, you\u2019re not in Kansas anymore!\u201d joke. But the jokes on them, you were never living there in the first place.<\/p>\n

3. You Might Have To Go Hunting For That Boulevard Beer You Love<\/h2>\n

\"29<\/p>\n

While this brewery is a favorite in the Kansas City area, it can be a little more difficult to find their beers at the liquor store the further away from the Midwest you get. If you\u2019re leaving for good, it might be smart to bring a few sixers along for the ride.<\/p>\n

4. No One Will Believe That Your BBQ Is Best, Until They Taste It<\/h2>\n

Barbecue is one of those things where everyone takes pride in their own hometown\u2019s variety. If you move to another big barbecue state like Texas or Tennessee, expect people to talk trash about the Kansas City-style. Just bring them back with you during your next trip home and prove them wrong.<\/p>\n

5. \u201cSo, It\u2019s Burnt But You Still Eat It?\u201d<\/h2>\n

One factor that puts Kansas City barbecue a step above the rest are their burnt ends. While the rest of the country doesn\u2019t quite understand how to pull this dish off, you\u2019ll definitely miss these tasty treats if you leave.<\/p>\n

6. You\u2019ll Run Into Plenty Of Royals Bandwagoners<\/h2>\n

Thanks to recent postseason success, suddenly there are tons of Royals \u201cfans\u201d around the country. It\u2019ll be a bit annoying when they try to convince you that they\u2019re true diehards just like you. Just be happy you have someone to watch the games with.<\/p>\n

7. You Probably Won\u2019t Find Too Many Chiefs Fans<\/h2>\n

With the Kansas City Chiefs claiming the 6th smallest market in the NFL, it\u2019s not much of a surprise that their fans don\u2019t travel too far from home. While the streets might flood with red on Sundays in KCMO, be happy if you find a bar with the Chiefs game on elsewhere.<\/p>\n

8. No St. Paddy\u2019s Day Celebration Will Compare<\/h2>\n

\"29<\/p>\n

A city filled with Irish, few places party harder than Kansas City. It\u2019s hard to beat the way that this city shuts down in celebration of this holiday for a huge parade and a day of sun and drunkenness.<\/p>\n

9. Most People Won\u2019t Care So Much About Soccer<\/h2>\n

\"29<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re a soccer fan that\u2019s leaving what\u2019s been deemed the \u201cSoccer Capital of the Country,\u201d you\u2019re making a big mistake. Soccer isn\u2019t a big deal in many parts of America, especially professional soccer.
\nIt might be awhile before you find someone to talk Sporting KC with in your new hometown.<\/p>\n

10. The Next Place You Live Won\u2019t Be As Pretty<\/h2>\n

\"29<\/p>\n

One aspect of Kansas City that tends to get overlooked by outsiders is how dang beautiful this city is. With tons of water fountains, parks, and plenty of public art, you\u2019ll definitely miss living in a place that\u2019s this vibrant.<\/p>\n

11. Ice Storms Aren\u2019t Usually So Feared<\/h2>\n

While ice storms in Kansas City can get pretty intense, weather like this isn\u2019t usually such a problem in the rest of America. Look forward to milder winters in most places around the country.<\/p>\n

12. \u201cTaking A Trip To The Boat\u201d Will Have A Different Meaning<\/h2>\n

\"29<\/p>\n

Source: Flickr User rosemarydukelow (cropped)<\/div>\n

While \u201cthe Boat\u201d in Kansas City might mean a casino, \u201cthe boat\u201d in most places just refers to a vehicle that floats on water. If your new friends invite you on a trip to their boat, make sure you pack a swimsuit instead of a cash wad.<\/p>\n

13. Storms Sirens Will Start To Surprise You<\/h2>\n

\"29<\/p>\n

After growing up in Kansas City, storm sirens filling the air are rarely too shocking thanks to how often they can be heard. If you move away and it\u2019s been awhile since you\u2019ve heard this wail, it\u2019s sure to send shivers down your spine when it starts to pierce the air.<\/p>\n

14. New Friends Might Laugh At Your Ren-Fest Pictures<\/h2>\n

\"29<\/p>\n

One of the most unique festivals in the country, Kansas City\u2019s Renaissance Festival is the perfect celebration of medieval life. While people that haven\u2019t been might find that elaborate costume you wore a bit strange, have no shame\u2026I\u2019m sure you looked awesome!<\/p>\n

15. Travelling Won\u2019t Always Take So Long<\/h2>\n

\"29<\/p>\n

Source: Flickr User Lars Plougmann<\/div>\n

When most people hear the word \u201cKansas,\u201d a flat state full of nothing comes to mind. Unfortunately, if you\u2019re driving anywhere outside of Kansas City, this description can be pretty accurate. Cities tend to be far apart without much in between.
\nFortunately, it\u2019s a much shorter drive to get from place to place in most parts of the country.<\/p>\n

16. You\u2019ll Start To Miss The Giant Shuttlecocks<\/h2>\n

\"29<\/p>\n

Source: Flickr User TenSafeFrogs (cropped)<\/div>\n

Call them touristy if you want, but the giant shuttlecocks scattered around the art museum\u2019s lawn make up one of the most recognizable features in Kansas City. You\u2019ll definitely dream of seeing them again soon.<\/p>\n

17. It\u2019s Hard To Top Google Fiber<\/h2>\n

\"29<\/p>\n

Once you\u2019ve had the best, it sucks settling for less. Unless you\u2019re moving to somewhere else that\u2019s got Google Fiber, you\u2019ll definitely catch yourself complaining about the local internet speeds more than once.<\/p>\n

18. Snow Days Won\u2019t Be So Sweet<\/h2>\n

\"29<\/p>\n

The second snow starts falling in Kansas City, crowds start gathering at Suicide Hill for a good reason\u2026the sledding there is that awesome. If you\u2019ve left Kansas City and a winter wonderland starts forming outside, you\u2019ll definitely long for more days spent back at this spot.<\/p>\n

19. People Won\u2019t Understand Your Love For Jazz<\/h2>\n

\"29<\/p>\n

It might not be what you\u2019ve got pumping through the speakers, but everyone from Kansas City has a soft spot for the genre that this city helped build. Introduce new friends to some smooth Kansas City jazz next time you\u2019re together, they\u2019ll probably thank you for it.<\/p>\n

20. You\u2019ll Miss A Good College Sports Rivalry<\/h2>\n

If you\u2019re from Kansas City, you know that there\u2019s been a war raging across state lines for years. Whether you\u2019ve spent your life cheering for the Jayhawks or the Tigers, you can\u2019t really appreciate the local rivalry that exists between these two schools until it\u2019s gone.<\/p>\n

21. The Sweet Corn Won\u2019t Be So Sweet<\/h2>\n

\"29<\/p>\n

Thanks to the many farmers around Kansas City, the produce in this city is extremely fresh compared to what most people around the country are eating. One things for sure, you\u2019ll never find better corn than in the City of Fountains.<\/p>\n

22. No One Will Believe You That You Come From A Pizza Town<\/h2>\n

\"29<\/p>\n

When people hear \u201cpizza town,\u201d they usually think of places like Chicago or New York. However, Kansas City\u2019s pizza scene is majorly impressive. In fact, it\u2019s so impressive that Travel and Leisure Magazine named KCMO as one of the best pizza cities in the country.
\nIf you leave, you\u2019ll have a hard time finding a slice that tops your favorite joint back home.<\/p>\n

23. You\u2019ll Consider Making The Trip Back For The Plaza Lights<\/h2>\n

\"29<\/p>\n

Few things are more \u201cKansas City\u201d than when they flip the switch that welcomes the holiday season to town each year. Stemming from a single strand of colored lights put up in 1925, coming to see the lights is a great excuse to get back to Kansas City in the winter.<\/p>\n

24. Swope Park Set You Up For Disappointment<\/h2>\n

With over 1,800 acres of park space, few city parks around the world come close to outshining Swope Park in Kansas City. If you move to another metropolitan area around the country, you\u2019ll definitely miss having so much accessible green space.<\/p>\n

25. Open Container Laws Are Usually More Strict<\/h2>\n

\"29<\/p>\n

While the Power and Lights District lets you walk around with drinks on the street, most cities aren\u2019t so friendly towards boozing in public. Make sure you know the local laws before you step outside the bar with a drink.<\/p>\n

26. It\u2019s Harder To Find A Good Steak Than You Thought<\/h2>\n

\"29<\/p>\n

The 3rd largest beef city in the country, you\u2019ll probably never find a steak that will top the meals they serve at places like Jess and Jim\u2019s. With Kansas City so close to the beef source, it\u2019s no surprise that the meat tastes a bit better here.<\/p>\n

27. It\u2019s Not Quite So Cultured Elsewhere<\/h2>\n

\"29<\/p>\n

When it comes to culture, Kansas City has it all. There\u2019s a symphony, a ballet company, and tons of art galleries on seemingly every block. If you like experiencing the finer things in life, this is one thing you\u2019re sure to miss.<\/p>\n

28. Portions Will Be Smaller<\/h2>\n

\"29<\/p>\n

A city known for serving food in huge portions like the 75 oz. sirloin at Jess and Jim\u2019s and the 26\u201d monstrous pizza at Minsky\u2019s known as Gigantor, restaurants in Kansas City tend to be pretty generous. Don\u2019t expect to get the same bang for your buck while dining elsewhere.<\/p>\n

With all of the awesome sports, great cuisine, and super friendly people, Kansas City truly is one-of-a-kind when it comes to \u201cbig city America.\u201d
\nIf you move away, you\u2019ll long to be back home every day. Fortunately, this is one city that\u2019s always willing to welcome you back with open arms.
