History

Kansas City, Missouri was first incorporated in 1850. It is the territory on the border between Missouri and Kansas on the shores of the Kansas and Missouri rivers. It was considered a good place to build settlements and find relocation for early American pioneers.

After World War II, the city experienced a great deal of urban sprawl with residents moving from the inner city. This was because the affluent populace left for suburbs such as Johnson County, Ka. and eastern Jackson County, Mo. And many also went north of the Missouri River, where Kansas City had incorporated areas between the 1940s to 1970s. So, the population of the urban core significantly dipped, while the city and the surrounding area gained population.

City officials are using New Urbanism. It is a style of planning that is occurring in some of Kansas City real estate. It is an effort to stem future sprawl in Kansas City. This recent strategy in urban planning has slowed sprawl and focuses instead on the revitalization of the inner city, its housing and existing infrastructure. A great effort is being put into reviving the city's downtown area. This is in the hopes that more people will consider it for relocation of their homes and relocation of their businesses. The Downtown Kansas City is an area of 2.9 square miles. As mentioned before, many residential properties have recently been or are currently under redevelopment in this area. This could easily be your next great relocation.

Neighborhoods and Real Estate

Kansas City, Missouri, is organized into a system of more than 150 neighborhoods, some with history as independent cities or the sites of major events. There are many opportunities to choose from a wide variety of real estate. For example, downtown is a great place to live because of its major and exciting redevelopment. Downtown Kansas City has a variety of smaller neighborhoods that include the following: historical Westport, the Crossroads Arts District, the 18th and Vine Historic District, Pendleton Heights, Quality Hill, the West Bottoms and the River Market. This is real estate market is worth considering making your relocation.

Other areas near Downtown Kansas City includes the 39th Street District, which is known as Restaurant Row. It features one of Kansas City's largest selections of independently-owned restaurants, shops and great real estate. It is also a center of literary and visual arts and off-beat culture. So, if you still have a bit of bohemian in you this might be a great neighborhood for your relocation.

Crown Center is the headquarters of Hallmark Cards, and is a major downtown shopping and entertainment complex. Connected by a series of covered walkways the center joins Union Station. By the way, Kansas City's Union Station is now home to Science City, restaurants, shopping, theaters, the city's Amtrak facility and some pricey real estate.

The Country Club Plaza, also known as the Plaza, is an upscale, outdoor shopping and entertainment district. It was the first shopping district in America designed to accommodate shoppers arriving by cars. The Country Club District to the south includes the Sunset Hill and Brookside neighborhoods. Its main thoroughfare is Ward Parkway, a landscaped boulevard known for its statues, fountains and historic homes. What beautiful real estate it is, and well worth consider moving to and making it your new relocation.

Also of note is Swope Park. It is one of America's larger in-city parks. It has 1,763 acres that includes a zoo, two golf courses, a lake, an amphitheatre and numerous picnic grounds. People who own real estate with easy access to this park have a great location.

Gravel and Grit: Childhood Memories of Life on a Kansas Farm $17.9 Rosemary is a spunky, outspoken little girl growing up in Kansas. She and her family don't have a lot of material things, but that doesn't mean Rosemary is missing out on life. She has much to enjoy on the family farm, including her dogs and the assorted farm animals she takes under her wing. In "Gravel and Grit," author Rosemary Coplin Dahlberg takes us back to the Kansas farm where she grew up in the 1930s and 1940s. These were the days of radios instead of television sets, games that required imagination instead of joysticks, and party lines instead of cell phones. Homes often had the unique smell of Lava soap and Spic and Span cleanliness instead of potpourri. Dahlberg shares her memories of how she met life's issues head on. Life lessons involving her beloved dogs, her classmates, and her neighbors are experienced and lessons learned, sometimes the hard way. World War II, a tornado, and family loss all bring changes to Rosemary and her family. But through it all, God is always present, giving Rosemary faith and a moral compass for her future.

The Prettiest Girls in Euphoria, Kansas $19.82 Bruce Kellner's New Novel Examines the Troubling Pull of the Past: In "The Prettiest Girls in Euphoria, Kansas," literary biographer Bruce Kellner probes the fragmented nature of memory in a narrative that does not tell time by clocks or remember it by calendars. On a midwestern farm in the last century, a boy is forced to come of age in a colorful family of dysfunctional women, scarred by the unfulfilled dreams of his alcoholic mother, his strange spinster aunts, his malevolent nieces, and especially "the prettiest girls in Euphoria, Kansas," his five unforgettable sisters. The hapless lives of frigid Emily, beautiful Louella, the competitive but dim twins Verda and Opal, and baleful Alice (also the lives of the losers they marry or don't) range from hilarious to heartbreaking. Inevitably, these women - equally appealing and appalling - dominate their much younger "Brother," an identity he can only escape by fleeing from them. Now, as a man in late middle-age, Brother must return to the town he escaped long before, in an attempt to cope with the shards of memory that have always haunted him. The impact of the past on the present dominates Kellner's novel, through the erratic, mysterious power of memory, simultaneously faithful and unreliable. "Memory is our sixth sense," Brother observes. "Is the fading of the other ones as we grow older the reason why memories of the past grow stronger?" As he sifts through his family's legends, his sisters' overwhelming personalities, and the enduring influence of his father, Brother's fragmented memories are woven with bitter nostalgia and earthy humor into an indelible account of a family's emotional history. By turns whimsical, bawdy, poignant, and heartfelt, "The Prettiest Girls in Euphoria, Kansas" examines not only the empowering sense of the past on the present but the indestructible threads that bind families together.
