I grew up Long Beach, CA and moved to Lee’s Summit in 1989. Now I have lived here for longer than I lived there, but I still miss it. It’s a great place to live if you have money. If California was on Yelp it would have $$$$$. It’s great to visit and vacation though.

Yeah, that $$$ issue is a problem. Love it there, though.

Right after we shuck corn and check on the still. Although I can't get too outraged because the first time someone told me they liked to play "cornhole" I thought it was time to move. And God only knows what you have to do to win the Cornhole Championship.

Cornhole, that’s a prison game, isn’t it?

Having been born in NYC and spent most of my life in KC, I can easily support your "thesis that the latter is by far the best for living. I've often postulated that "NYC is a great place to visit but no place to raise a family".

I love NY, but like California it's expensive which is why I doubted my cabbie was spending a lot of time at the opera. What's the point of having all that stuff if you can't afford to enjoy it?
