    Most cities do something fun with their kitschy rotating restaurant. Not Kansas City. No sir, they’re good practical midwesterners, and by god a surplus Air Traffic Control tower from the third biggest airport in the Dakotas will be fine! Plop it on a pre-fab concrete hotel and get on with your day.

    Also, their barbecue is overrated.

        LOL, all in good fun. Except for the barbecue thing. It’s fine, but it’s just slightly less delicious Texas style, LOL.

        Oh, and NFL refs’ love affair with Mahomes and the Chiefs.

          No worries, didn’t figure it went too deep lol always seems like when I mention being from KC online people go right at the barbecue. I’m a fan having grown up with it but I understand to a lot of people it’s too sweet or saucy, personally I like all the regional kinds, KC, Texas, STL, Carolina, etc.

          Never been a huge sports guy so tbh the most enjoyment I get out of our superbowl wins is just getting off work early whenever they do the parade lol

      I don’t believe it has for a while, I got to go up in it once maybe 15-16 years ago as my mom’s ex boyfriend used to tend bar there for some time and he mentioned that it used to rotate but didn’t anymore. I love the look of brutalist/utilitarian architecture so it makes it one of my favorite parts of the skyline.
