http://thekansascityexplorer.blogspot.com/2011/03/plaza-nichols-folly.html
The Kansas City Explorer. Thursday, March 3, 2011. The Plaza: "Nichols' Folly". Raised by Hercules, Julius Caesar fortified me, with high walls and towers, I was conquered for the king of heaven by Garcí Pérez de Vargas.". Spoiler alert: That quote is not about Kansas City. Instead it is a popular verse- blending both mythology and history- used to describe Seville, Spain one of Kansas City's sister cities. It may or may not be well known around town, but. Kansas City has 13 "sister cities". JC Nichols, a.

The Kansas City Explorer: February 2011
http://thekansascityexplorer.blogspot.com/2011_02_01_archive.html
The Kansas City Explorer. Thursday, February 17, 2011. Alright fellow Explorers, last we left off, we had discovered one of the defining characteristics of the City by going to the genesis of Kansas City barbecue. But a city isnt always defined by what makes it famous. Sometimes a city is defined by that little known sandwich place around the corner, the boutique shopping neighborhood only visited by locals, or the small but vibrant city park squeezed between two high-rises.

The Kansas City Explorer. Thursday, March 31, 2011. The Plaza: Groupon, Group-off.
