Kansas
Kansas City. Known as the Heart of America, I'll always think of love and marriage when I think of my time spent there.
It is the spirit it expresses,” he said. “The word 'America' gives it a patriotic flavor, and the word 'Heart' stands for all that is noble in life — affection, sympathy, enthusiasm, hospitality, generosity and the other attributes which Kansas City possesses in such distinctive measure.
Kansas City sits on Missouri's western edge, straddling the border with Kansas. It's known for its barbecue, jazz heritage and fountains. Downtown, the American Jazz Museum shares a building with the Negro Leagues Baseball Museum in the historic 18th & Vine Jazz District. The Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art, with giant shuttlecocks out front, houses nearly 40,000 works of art, from ancient to contemporary collections.
