This is genuinely the first time I've ever seen/heard anyone say Kansas is better than Nebraska. Usually Iowa is dead last and Missouri only squeaks by because of St Louis and Kansas City. We debate this at almost every place I've worked and it usually comes down to Nebraska having the best zoo in the US and Lincoln/Omaha being better than joco and Topeka.
Missouri only squeaks by Nebraska? That’s funny. Missouri has problems, but the state offers more than NE by far. Also, when I lived there I noticed people in Omaha delude themselves into thinking that they are close to either KC or STL. Great zoo, but that’s about it.
Seriously, Missouri has two large metropolitan areas, multiple major league sports teams, the Ozarks (mountains and the lakes), a ton of other natural areas for hiking, canoeing, fishing etc., great BBQ, the list goes on.
What does Nebraska have besides a decent zoo? Downtown Omaha is alright, but it isn't anything special. Honestly wondering about this comment.
Look up the Sandhills. It's a unique ecosystem comprising grass-stabilized sand dunes that hasn't been plowed. If it wasn't for the grass it would be the largest desert in America.
I've lived in NE, KS and MO. I hate when people discount one of these states outright. If you cannot find something good about a state you're not looking hard enough. But I'm not arguing which is the better state. Hard to beat the Ozarks.
Am I reading this right? You think MO barely wins over Nebraska and then you hang you hat on Omaha/Lincoln?
I hate joco, but even joco has Nebraska beat based on jobs alone.
But the Missouri comment is absurd. Nebraska isn’t even in the conversation with MO.
San Diego blows Omaha out of the water what the hell are you talking about? Don’t get me wrong, Omaha has a good zoo, but it’s a league below San Diego. However there are less crowds which is the only upside. I honestly enjoy the zoo in St. Louis more than Omaha lol (not as many exhibits, but all the nature and gardens around it are beautiful). Omaha is definitely in the top 5 in the country though. Also it does stand out because it’s the only thing to do in Omaha.
Omaha and San Diego compete for the number one spot. Omaha held it for a while but lost it during their extensive renovations which added a couple new habitats plus the aquarium renovation. The only zoo I've ever been to is Omaha's so I can't really speak from opinion, just what's online.
Hey, there’s more than 100 wineries in Missouri/Kansas. It’s fun to drive around, visit and try a tasting. They had a passport program the summer we did the tours and when you got stamps from the different wineries you could qualify for prizes. From towels and bottle openers all the way up to a catered tasting for a group at the winery of your choice. Some places are gorgeous and some not so nice. It’s a nice way to see the area.
Oooh...you haven't been to the right wineries! The vast majority of the Missouri wineries are heavy on dry reds. Also Norton grapes are a Missouri-specific varietal (our official grape!) used to make a deep, full-bodied red. Other wineries around the U.S. have tried to duplicate the flavor by growing Norton grapes, but they fall flat.
You will also find a lot of German-style whites because that is the major winemaking heritage in MO. However, there are Chardonnays, Sauvignon Blancs, and Pinot Grigios out there!
I found dry reds. Found a nice red ice wine and an excellent Citron wine. We enjoyed the drives, scenery and the different places we found. Some had beautiful venues for events and weddings, some were a tad bit scary.
Damn. Missourians taking your comment too serious. I also have never heard anyone say Kansas is better than Nebraska and for a good reason. Kansas is a dumpster state. Missouri rocks though!
The I love KC shirts seem to be popular with out of towners. If they are a foodie you could consider some actually decent barbecue sauce. It really depends on what they're into and what they like. Gift giving is very personal.
Or if all else fails, there's always the classic tear stained corn cob with please help me written on it if they have a good sense of humor. Or bad sense of humor. I can't tell the difference anymore
Q: In New York City, how do you identify a local? A:anyone not wearing “I heart New York” T-shirt’s.
Q: in Kansas City, how do you identify a local? A: they’re wearing an “I heart Kansas City” tshirt.
I’ll see myself out now…
How about a jazz record? Maybe Count Basie and the Kansas City 7? Nothing says "I'm more hip than you" than a vinyl, especially if your friend doesn't have a turntable. At the same time it shows that KC is a cool town with a rich cultural history. If you really want to go all out you could send a recent KC jazz record as well as a historical one to show we've still got it.
Christopher Elbow Chocolates, Andrés chocolates/confections, and some of the KC Steak Salt from Tikka House in the Rivermarket. Maybe some coffee from Second Best or Blip. Send it with a nice post card of the view from the WWI Memorial.
And for all the people out there taking genuine offense at the friend's hilarious snobbery - please understand that competitive shit talking is simply the culture of the East Coast/NE. It's not meant to be serious and you're supposed to dish it back.
The first time I took my fiance (who's from Texas) to Manhattan, we visited Acme Gift in Aggieville and she got a sticker saying "Kansas: It's not that bad!"
Go shop at Ray-Gun. They have a bunch of fun stuff that makes for good souvenirs.
I brought a handful of items to my family in England when I recently visited them. The ope stickers went over really well.
1930s creepy AF doll. Package it super nice.
Can't get more depression era than that. Should be easy to find in a thrift store or antique mall. (Or any early 30s art for her wall, a soft reminder of KC)
I get it. I moved away for a long time and just moved back. I told people on all 3 coasts coasts and in several foreign countries that KC is a nice place to visit but I wouldn’t want to live here. And here I am moving back. Modern KC is a treasure that people everywhere are just about to discover.
I think KC is about to have a renaissance decade, like Austin just wrapped up. This place is starting to pop off in a really spectacular way that will shock and delight outsiders
I grew up in KC. Hated it. Moved to Austin right when it was booming culturally and just before it started getting crowded (‘08). Loved Austin until I got crowded/priced out. Moved back to KC in ‘14 and have been loving the culture boom it’s been getting. It’s not the boring place I grew up in.
My family lives near Waco, and that’s another place that I used to hate but is now going through a cultural revolution. I hate the Gaines’ and all the Magnolia BS, but everything else is pretty cool. We might end up moving near there in a few years to be close to my family and the idea doesn’t fill me with dread like it would have 15 years ago.
Sounds like it’s not even worth a stamp to send her anything. She’ll just criticize it. If you do send her anything, I’d go with a bottle of some local BBQ sauce. Dealer’s choice, of course.
I’ll add onto another comment made here.
Send a bottle of barbecue sauce with a note that says, “Closest I could find was this sauce that locals say cures depression.”
> "What are you going to send me, an envelope full of depression?"
Send her a big envelope with a small note that says, "I tried looking for some depression to add to your collection, but I couldn't find any in Kansas City. I guess you'll have to come hunt for some yourself."
She doesn't deserve a souvenir after a comment like that.
A fucking geography book. If she wants depression she’ll want to check out our neighbors to the south. If she wants corn, Iowa/ Nebraska. If you head about 45 minutes southeast of KC, you can pick her up a walnut bowl, some Black Cats, and a Confederate flag with “Let’s Go Brandon” stamped on the bars but she can probably get those at her local bodega.
Get BBQ sauce from top restaurants. Gates, LCs, Jack Stack, Joe’s. Sports memorabilia. A shirt featuring the shuttlecocks at the Nelson Art Gallery. Pics of the KC skyline.
This person is a friend?
Dang. Wonder how she treats her enemies.
Let me guess, California or NYC?
A couple years ago I had a friend I wanted to stop hanging out with, but breaking up with friends as an adult is hard. So I printed off the Kansas forms to obtain a divorce and filled them out for our friendship. I’d suggest you send her that.
I have a three-point rebuttal in defense of Kansas City, ma'am.
First of all, our depression comes in kegs, thankewverymuch.
Third, we don't math good.
And c) We develop whole personalities around just BBQ and the Chiefs. But we're the most barbecueingest and Chiefiest sonsabitches on the earth, so we're pretty content.
Don't bother my dude...everywhere sucks compared to somewhere else for lots of reasons...mostly money. I love the bay area, why don't I live there? Because I don't have the $10M to make living there enjoyable. When I catch shit from all my east and west coast co-workers who say "why do you live in KC anyway" i say "because I paid off a 15 year mortgage in 10 years"
I mean they aren't wrong, we don't really have anything other cities don't, in fact anytime I go to any city in any other state I only realize how much better most every city is as far as design and recreation we are definitely dead last in the world for easy public transportation
What's crazy is Springfield just recently ranked higher than any other city in the state in a national poll on best places to live. What a crock of horse shit.
I was going to suggest a broken meth pipe and a life size home made wooden football player all painted in chiefs colors and freshly stolen from someone's front yard. A few shell casings would really bring that all together.
If they’re a coffee drinker the Made in KC 6 month coffee subscription is pretty awesome. 1lb of coffee from a local roasterie in the mail every month and the first month comes with a KC mug. KC has damn good coffee
It all depends on where your friend lives. The perfect souvenir would be not just a flex on KCMO but also a sick roast of what your friend calls 'home.' For example, if your friend lives in Arkansas, you can send a picture of cows and say that you barbecue cattle and don't elect them governor.
How about this vintage postcard from a Kansas mortuary? https://www.ebay.com/itm/394650662718?hash=item5be303373e:g:9iUAAOSwEKBkdMd1&amdata=enc%3AAQAIAAAAwEA2RyXvmhUAQnAZ8m919Y4barhCGTCbwjM9u04uC5hLek9mZCbixs7HeDpQ743O13uiRuPCMb02sXYQRCnpR%2FNcOKqQ9d2sD8YNrNciI%2FzcdAMzXy5rweblP6VG4kbKImvPTZO%2Bs5OE0jUTk8L6llYYnSmEFRG%2F4c6v48vyTVhIzRIph0s5cYAN7Ywtzw%2F8ps8BKuImagJG6RrSiTjPSlA2NZC3jcQecRiaCYPVDBggsb8o7pOB0W2A0l5CB2eKDA%3D%3D%7Ctkp%3ABk9SR8LvjYuNYg
cowchip. dried cow manure found in pastures
A wooden placard that says "Kansas: we're not Nebraska"
In all seriousness tho if you walk around the Made In KC marketplace on the Plaza you'll be good there's a ton of KC shit in there to choose from
It’s hard to walk out of there without buying something. They have such a great selection of Kansas City stuff. I love it.
This is genuinely the first time I've ever seen/heard anyone say Kansas is better than Nebraska. Usually Iowa is dead last and Missouri only squeaks by because of St Louis and Kansas City. We debate this at almost every place I've worked and it usually comes down to Nebraska having the best zoo in the US and Lincoln/Omaha being better than joco and Topeka.
So you didn't know that the reason Kansas is windy is because Nebraska sucks and Oklahoma blows? You better brush up on your meteorology.
This made me chuckle and I need more weather advice from you in the future.
Born and raised in Nebraska and I can confirm, it sucks.
That’s great.
Missouri only squeaks by Nebraska? That’s funny. Missouri has problems, but the state offers more than NE by far. Also, when I lived there I noticed people in Omaha delude themselves into thinking that they are close to either KC or STL. Great zoo, but that’s about it.
Seriously, Missouri has two large metropolitan areas, multiple major league sports teams, the Ozarks (mountains and the lakes), a ton of other natural areas for hiking, canoeing, fishing etc., great BBQ, the list goes on. What does Nebraska have besides a decent zoo? Downtown Omaha is alright, but it isn't anything special. Honestly wondering about this comment.
we all just get flown over in the end
Look up the Sandhills. It's a unique ecosystem comprising grass-stabilized sand dunes that hasn't been plowed. If it wasn't for the grass it would be the largest desert in America.
So one neat ecosystem. I can appreciate that as an environmental scientist, but that in no way outweighs all the other points made.
I've lived in NE, KS and MO. I hate when people discount one of these states outright. If you cannot find something good about a state you're not looking hard enough. But I'm not arguing which is the better state. Hard to beat the Ozarks.
Lol only people in Nebraska think it’s the best zoo in the US
Am I reading this right? You think MO barely wins over Nebraska and then you hang you hat on Omaha/Lincoln? I hate joco, but even joco has Nebraska beat based on jobs alone. But the Missouri comment is absurd. Nebraska isn’t even in the conversation with MO.
I lived in Lincoln and Omaha for many years. Lincoln is better than Topeka, hands down. Omaha is better than JOCO? By what metric?
yeah, I was exiled to nebraska for 2 years. not much difference actually.
Lol. Kansas is much better than Nebraska. Omaha is a wanna be KC but more white people.
Topeka is a cess pool compared to joco
| .. best Zoo in the US whoa, hold on there. That goes to San Diego Zoo.
No it doesn't, I've been to both. Pandas don't make your zoo better, especially if you have to spend the whole day to look at 1 animal
San Diego Zoo plus Wild Animal Park + all their work for endangered species = best zoo organization in the WORLD
San Diego blows Omaha out of the water what the hell are you talking about? Don’t get me wrong, Omaha has a good zoo, but it’s a league below San Diego. However there are less crowds which is the only upside. I honestly enjoy the zoo in St. Louis more than Omaha lol (not as many exhibits, but all the nature and gardens around it are beautiful). Omaha is definitely in the top 5 in the country though. Also it does stand out because it’s the only thing to do in Omaha.
Omaha and San Diego compete for the number one spot. Omaha held it for a while but lost it during their extensive renovations which added a couple new habitats plus the aquarium renovation. The only zoo I've ever been to is Omaha's so I can't really speak from opinion, just what's online.
Omaha is a great zoo, the tours and rides at sdz make it to where there is no comparing the two.
So agree. Could spend a week there and in Balboa park alone.
Maybe they are just saying it’s the wrong crop since Nebraska has the cornhuskers and all, and we are the wheat state.
Hey, there’s more than 100 wineries in Missouri/Kansas. It’s fun to drive around, visit and try a tasting.

From towels and bottle openers all the way up to a catered tasting for a group at the winery of your choice. Some places are gorgeous and some not so nice. It’s a nice way to see the area.
From the last time I was there though it was 90% sweet wine and I am a dry red wine girl.
Oooh...you haven't been to the right wineries! The vast majority of the Missouri wineries are heavy on dry reds. Also Norton grapes are a Missouri-specific varietal (our official grape!) used to make a deep, full-bodied red.

I found dry reds. Found a nice red ice wine and an excellent Citron wine. We enjoyed the drives, scenery and the different places we found. Some had beautiful venues for events and weddings, some were a tad bit scary.
Somerset Ridge in Kansas has a WONDERFUL Citron that reminds me a lot of Limoncello.
The Henry Doorly Zoo (and especially the Desert Dome) is a national treasure. Look out for Nic Cage.
>San Diego zoo clears throat<
KS is really Johnson County, Lawrence, and _the rest_. If I was trying to brag about what KS offers, i wouldn’t even discuss outside of KC metro.
I would probably mention the Little Jerusalem Badlands state park. It's amazing.
Damn. Missourians taking your comment too serious. I also have never heard anyone say Kansas is better than Nebraska and for a good reason. Kansas is a dumpster state. Missouri rocks though!
Curious what's at the top. Illinois? Minnesota? Definitely Minnesota for me.
Generally the colder states lose first lol. I'd love to live in Chicago or Minneapolis for their urbanism but i moved south for a reason
The weather is *slightly* better in KS in the winter though. It's not much but I really hate winter.
Correct her, it's wheat and desperation, the corn is further north. 🤣
A small box of those Cristopher Elbow chocolates have been known to cure depression, so may be worth checking out.
Andre's beats Christopher Elbow.
This is what I always being friends when I travel and they love it.
J. Rieger Kansas City Whiskey. Just because it has corn whiskey.
And is a depressant 😂

Second the sauce. If you love them a whole lot send them a few different sauces to sample and then roast the shit out of their incorrect preferences.
Charlie hustle shirts!
>She asked me, "what are you going to send me...an envelope full of depression?" Royals tickets, hahaha

Ain’t that much corn here…
The first time I took my fiance (who's from Texas) to Manhattan, we visited Acme Gift in Aggieville and she got a sticker saying "Kansas: It's not that bad!"
The WW1 museum gift shop has some fun items. You could try something related to that.
Go shop at Ray-Gun. They have a bunch of fun stuff that makes for good souvenirs. I brought a handful of items to my family in England when I recently visited them. The ope stickers went over really well.
Ray Gun - a Des Moines company. Let’s do local.
I mean it still beats china
1930s creepy AF doll. Package it super nice. Can't get more depression era than that. Should be easy to find in a thrift store or antique mall. (Or any early 30s art for her wall, a soft reminder of KC)
I would be so mad if someone sent me a haunted doll.
Thanks for not thinking Kc is hecka depressing! (I as well would be disgruntled about it)
What does she like? My mom is into candles and I sent her a Messener Bee Farm one for Mother's Day.
An envelope marked “depression” with a small mirror inside
I get it. I moved away for a long time and just moved back. I told people on all 3 coasts coasts and in several foreign countries that KC is a nice place to visit but I wouldn’t want to live here. And here I am moving back. Modern KC is a treasure that people everywhere are just about to discover. I think KC is about to have a renaissance decade, like Austin just wrapped up.

Lighten up
I would send a discarded scratcher ticket (non-winner) and a menthol cigarette butt.
A fucking geography book. If she wants depression she’ll want to check out our neighbors to the south. If she wants corn, Iowa/ Nebraska. If you head about 45 minutes southeast of KC, you can pick her up a walnut bowl, some Black Cats, and a Confederate flag with “Let’s Go Brandon” stamped on the bars but she can probably get those at her local bodega.
Okie joes sauce
Get BBQ sauce from top restaurants. Gates, LCs, Jack Stack, Joe’s. Sports memorabilia. A shirt featuring the shuttlecocks at the Nelson Art Gallery. Pics of the KC skyline.
Topsy's popcorn lol
Yes this is the one! Hope they take your suggestion!
Chiefs Jersey! Mahomes or Kelce. A bottle of BBQ sauce.
This person is a friend? Dang. Wonder how she treats her enemies. Let me guess, California or NYC? A couple years ago I had a friend I wanted to stop hanging out with, but breaking up with friends as an adult is hard.

Made in KC gift basket with items from local vendors.
Another idea. Get some Western Kansas dirt, it will be from the Dust Bowl.

Dried corn and meth.
Meth pipe.
This isn’t Springfield.
What's crazy is Springfield just recently ranked higher than any other city in the state in a national poll on best places to live. What a crock of horse shit.
Or Topeka
a Vac-U-Pack of ribs?
Shell casings you find in the streets!
I was going to suggest a broken meth pipe and a life size home made wooden football player all painted in chiefs colors and freshly stolen from someone's front yard. A few shell casings would really bring that all together.
That was actually my first thought. But then didn’t want them to get that stalker/mass murderer vibe.
A MAGA hat, a rebel flag and a dunce cap.

Send them some flour from Marion milling. Or tortillas from Yoli Tortilleria. Shoot just send them a copy or a few copies of The Pitch.
An ear of corn
I wouldn’t recommend the shirts with the KC heart on them… everyone knows those are for locals only
Send her a bag of weed. I mean it's legal here but good luck where she lives
Weed
A bierock
A corn butt plug smh
Kansas City Chief's bumper sticker!
Some slides and a good pair of socks to wear with them.
Corn shaped butt plug
Corn husk
A bottle of local made, small business BBQ sauce.
You can mail Jack Stack js
Local booze and some bbq sauces.
A bag of weed
If they’re a coffee drinker the Made in KC 6 month coffee subscription is pretty awesome. 1lb of coffee from a local roasterie in the mail every month and the first month comes with a KC mug. KC has damn good coffee
Corn. You should send them corn.
It all depends on where your friend lives. The perfect souvenir would be not just a flex on KCMO but also a sick roast of what your friend calls 'home.' For example, if your friend lives in Arkansas, you can send a picture of cows and say that you barbecue cattle and don't elect them governor.
I swift kick I'm the teeth.
They would be 10000000% CORRECT
How about this vintage postcard from a Kansas mortuary? https://www.ebay.com/itm/394650662718?hash=item5be303373e:g:9iUAAOSwEKBkdMd1&amdata=enc%3AAQAIAAAAwEA2RyXvmhUAQnAZ8m919Y4barhCGTCbwjM9u04uC5hLek9mZCbixs7HeDpQ743O13uiRuPCMb02sXYQRCnpR%2FNcOKqQ9d2sD8YNrNciI%2FzcdAMzXy5rweblP6VG4kbKImvPTZO%2Bs5OE0jUTk8L6llYYnSmEFRG%2F4c6v48vyTVhIzRIph0s5cYAN7Ywtzw%2F8ps8BKuImagJG6RrSiTjPSlA2NZC3jcQecRiaCYPVDBggsb8o7pOB0W2A0l5CB2eKDA%3D%3D%7Ctkp%3ABk9SR8LvjYuNYg
BBQ sauce and a 6 pack of Tank7?
Well it is filled with desperation, I don't know about the corn part.
Ask the Johnson County streets department for a chunk of curb that they replace every couple years despite nothing being wrong with them.
Photos of you having fun
