The Paris of the Plains, in Pictures For people who frequently make the six hour non-stop flight between coasts, the “flyover” states are a mysterious patchwork gazed down upon between movie one and movie two. But, amid the waves of grain, in Kansas City, Missouri, is a thriving cultural scene, rich in food, music, architecture, and history. The strong bonds shared with its thirteen sister cities from Morelia, Mexico to Kurashiki, Japan, have made Kansas City an exciting international destination.
A walk through Country Club Plaza, the first of its kind in the nation, transports visitors to Seville, Spain, KC’s most well known sister city. Tile murals, mosaics, wrought iron balconies and terracotta roofs adorn the buildings that line the grand boulevard.
