Thanks for keeping this CA native who randomly chose Chiefs as his team (on January 16, 1994) connected to the city he never knew.

Hope to see you guys around town and at tailgates.

I think this is another part of what is great about KC. Within an hour of the center of KC you have all types of options to choose from. It runs the gambit from urban center to rural country landscapes. There are areas where young people can do what they do, areas that are more for older people, and everything in between.

So are you looking for good schools, good BBQ, shopping, safe neighborhoods, Crack and drive-by shootings? Well manicured yards or yard art of old household appliances We really do need to know what you are looking for to give proper guidance.

Well put. At this point in my life I'm over bars and "nightlife". The restaurant scene seems to be hopping towards the core of the city.

It's pretty cool that in this city you can live in a great neighborhood with a 20 minute commute to downtown without more than 2 min on an interstate and be able to pick from two or three James Beard award winning restaurants and a world class art museum on your way home.

This is going to be like watching Footloose in real life.

I can't wait until you roll into town in your yellow bug blasting Quiet Riot and angry dance down at the feed mill.

I remember going to a 'Zoner event and we picked up TE on way there.

I was talking about how much I was looking forward to a weekend of nothing but Arby's, which I was able to achieve, and his exact words to me:

"You know what you look like to me, with your Wolverine boots and your cheap jersey? You look like a rube. A well scrubbed, hustling rube with a little taste. Good nutrition's given you some length of bone, but you're not more than one generation from poor white trash, are you, Rausch? And that accent you've tried so desperately to shed: pure Branson. What is your father, sir? Is he a factory worker? Does he stink of processed chicken and Drakkar? You know how quickly the white trash women found you... all those tedious sticky fumblings in the back seats of cars... while you could only dream of getting out... getting anywhere... getting all the way to Vegas."

**Rain Man** · 03-31-2015, 03:35 PM

Are you going to be changing your name to TinyTruman or TinyTwain?

He'll just change it to HUGEvil.

TinyEvil is appropriate out west. He's bland for that crowd. Almost motherly.

In the heartland he's the apocalypse...

Did he eat your liver? . . . because that sounds like a heckuva way to get shitfaced.

I was safe.

He made a point of saying he was trying to cut fats out of his diet...

Other than overcrowding, the stupid expensive cost of living, schools, high taxes, the lack of BBQ and fried chicken restaurants, SDSPM*, and traffic what did you not like about San Diego?

I got the feeling there was in insular older guard who really wasn't into taking on new members.

Having been here for a few years I don't really think that's the case. But that was the first impression I got.

It's just hazing. We all went through it.
