Kansas City Attractions

Kansas City

This double city in the Midwest, straddling the border between Kansas and Missouri, lies at the junction of the Kansas River with the Missouri, extending along the high banks of both rivers (the Bluffs). World-famous for its steaks and its jazz, Kansas City is now the centre of an extensive agricultural region. The great stockyards and packing stations of the 19th c. have given place to highly efficient foodstuffs industries and other processing industries (automobile construction, engineering, chemicals, paper). A glance at the skyline of Kansas City, Missouri is enough to show that it remains the more important of the two sister cities.
