6 Neighborhoods in Kansas City That You Shouldn't Miss
The home of swing and bebop for some, "The City of Fountains" to others, Kansas City is different things to different people. Music enthusiasts are drawn to the jazz clubs and old haunts of famous musicians such as Charlie Parker and Count Basie. With more fountains than Rome, there is ample opportunity for scenic strolling from fountain to fountain. Stop along the way to discover interesting neighborhoods and browse through eclectic shops. Families are particularly attracted to the city because of its child-friendly events and venues. Science City features hands-on exhibits including a mock television studio where kids can deliver a weather forecast, while the Zoo houses impressive African and Australian exhibits plus an IMAX Theater. The city's museums cover everything from the history of jazz music to a celebration of African American baseball players. Once a trading post for pioneers heading to the Western United States, today Kansas City is a burgeoning metropolis with activities and attractions for visitors of all ages and interests.

I've driven through this area on Sunday afternoons I do see the changes, different people have moved in. But this story repeats itself everywhere, it's "the hood, it's declining" because the same people are not there as much anymore. But too many folks want that nice suburban, cookie-cutter house, with all the same people who look the same, with nice cars that are not more than 3 years old. I was in the "hood" "declining" area of Panama City Panama in Casco Viejo 20 years ago, all the folks "fled" because of the changes. Now the same place and same abandoned, rundown buildings are for sale for $900,000, condos restored in historic places. I see in Little Italy the potential, so close to downtown. Maybe all the Italians can come back and mingle with those in this "hood" and bring back their culture.
