You forgot to mention that Missouri (Kansas City) is home to the Negro Leagues Baseball Museum, the Jazz Museum at 18th Street and Vine in the Jazz District, the Nelson-Atkins Art Museum just east of the Plaza (they have a fantastic ancient Egyptian and ancient Chinese collection), some of the best colleges and universities in the country.

Did you know that Devry University (12 campuses in the US and Canada) was started in Kansas City? It was originally known as the Missouri Institute of Technology, then Bell & Howell and finally emerged as the tech-based school that we know today.

And Rockhurst University is one of the finest Jesuit Colleges in the country.

The world's biggest law firm, Shook, Hardy & Bacon opened their doors here in Kansas City first.

Two of the world's premier construction and engineering firms, Burns & McDonnell and Black & Veatch started their operations here.
