My dad's side of the family is from the Kansas City area., and we are definitely what you'd call MIXED. You see, Grandpa was born in Pittsburgh, Kansas, while grandma's side of the family are old school Missouri, as in one of their (my) ancestors supposedly rode with Quantrill and Bill Anderson, and may have participated in the raid on Lawrence Kansas. Yes, that kind of old school Missouri (pronounced M'zura).
I lived in KC for a few years in the mid 80's, and JESUS but I still miss the barbecue. Never in all the years since have I had anything to match it. But food aside, I also remember the bumper stickers from rivals KU and UMKC, the one said "You can't spell 'Scum' without UM" and the other said, "I brake for small animals, except Jayhawks".
