    Much like a lot of cities you wouldn’t notice they were two different cities unless you knew there was a border there. My hometown of Omaha has a similar relationship with Council Bluffs on the Iowa side, plus a half dozen or so other small towns and cities that it more or less grew right up to the border of.

      Yeah it doesn’t matter. I just say I live in the KC Metro so I don’t have to explain this. And when I’m talking to my family back home, it’s just Kansas City. Technically I don’t live in KC, but they don’t care.

      I imagine it’s like being from NYC. If you’re from there you tell someone what borough but to everyone else it’s just NYC
