As your Kansas City moving company we love offering good information about our local city. Before you book your move, you’re probably researching the area to see if it is someplace you would like to call home. Well, if you’re still undecided here are a few things that you probably didn’t know about the city that might make the decision easier.
#1 Kansas City is the 29th Largest Metropolitan Area in the U.S. With more than 2.1 million people this city is bigger than you think!
#2 It’s BBQ Crazy. You may have heard about Kansas City’s famous BBQ, but did you know the city actually has more barbeque restaurants per capita than any other city in the nation? So, pack your fork and get ready for some tasty dinner options!
