And if you think the tornadoes are fun...just wait until those 95 degree/95% 
humidity days start with a vengeance! The air there in the summer AM is so 
"thick" with humidity you can slice it with a knife. (this is one reason 
that I moved away to Colorado where humidity is nearly non-existent)

A bit of history in the pop realm from that area...The Who played at one of 
the Shawnee Mission (East, South, north, West) high school dances in about 
1967. Over on the Missouri side...we had 'Frigid Pink" (anyone remember 
their cover of "House of the Rising Sun"?) in our school auditorium in about 
'72-73 or so...

Ah..."Cowtown".
