KCMODevin (Resident of a Kansas City suburb, been watching/studying area development and architecture for 3 years. Interested in helping the pages regarding Downtown, Architecture and Local Development.)
Hobbes747 (Born and raised in KC and lived there for 31 years. Currently living in Dallas but I miss it and working on the KC pages is cathartic. :P I used to work for the KCMO school district and so did my dad.)
Chris Belton native. I want to help out with the geographic side of the Kansas City Area.
americasroof Old and senile and wanting to dump my knowledge base on KC as the center of the world before I die (who else thinks KC's interurban is cool or can tell you what EMT really means??!!!). Don't even live in the city anymore but am considering a return since ill gotten gains elsewhere go further in the big Wheat Head field. Interests: transportation, civil war (Westport was actually biggest west (and probably most important) of the Mississippi believe it or not!), north of the river, history, hard facts about KC, agriculture heritage, Truman. Turn offs: the marauding "let's prune wikipedia" crowd who don't understand the joy of eventually connecting the dots even if the initial article is a stub or poorly written and unfortunately the excessive boosterists (whose closed mindedness reminded me of why I was glad at the time of leaving the city).

Moonraker0022 Has lived in Overland Park and now in Olathe! He cannot wait until KC gets the NHL, WNBA, and the NBA inside the Sprint Center, plus when he gets rich will provided Arrowhead with that rolling roof!
