Do you really get to decide the kind of place you want to live in? Let’s look at five ways Americans tell everyone how they have to live. Hint: it’s less about arrogance and more about ignorance. 🧵

@PrairieCzar Congratulations!

Awesome to see KC rallying behind @thekccurrent !

It doesn't have to be this way... Cars kill more pedestrians on Oct. 31 than any other day of the year as children crisscross streets in search of candy. bloomberg.com/news/articles/… via @citylab

Sun setting over Kansas City (Kansas). Beauty is all around us when we stop to look.

Saturday morning scrimmage regatta. Beautiful day to be on the banks of the Kaw River to watch the Kansas City Boat Club. The rivers are such a resource for KC.

So much potential with the Kaw River! kansascitymag.com/news/the-forgo…

@PrairieCzar Also my daughter mentioned the delicious beer cheese soup from Canal Park Brewery in a conversation on Tuesday. 🤣. And the beer was excellent.

@PrairieCzar Love Duluth. Been back there several times in the past few years. Also they are going to take down I-35 that cuts off the waterfront - so that’s another plus.
