Talk:History of the Kansas City metropolitan area

message: What idiot put that in! With a market of 2.2 million people, KC is average. While in the 80's this may have been somewhat true, that is no longer even close, as way smaller markets like Nashville, Jacksonville, Indianapolis (the winners of the last super bowl) Buffalo and Miluwakee (Green Bay) have major teams. Also similar-sized markets like Cincinatti, Cleveland, Tampa Bay, Denver, and Pittsburg also have teams. The statement that we are a "small" market is total BS, as Kansas City is the 26th largest metro in the US, and is similar in population to all cities ranked from 19-28.

Kansas City ranks #31 on the List of television stations in North America by media market placing it at the bottom or near the bottom of cities with professional baseball and football teams.

replies: text: As per usual the best way to improve a Wikipedia article is to improve it yourself.  The Exodusters (which needs considerable work) points out this occurred in Kansas.  The Benjamin "Pap" Singleton is a good article giving more detail.  Kansas City, Missouri is in Missouri, which was a slave state.  The black migration to Kansas City was due mainly to good urban jobs. Americasroof 01:45, 12 February 2007 (UTC)

message: A section needs to b e created that describes the annexation program and the Cookingham years. This was probably the defining development of that era.  The Kansas City main page describes it pretty well. Should we copy and paste this in the history page? Efficiency84 21:40, 16 June 2007 (UTC)

message: I am going to add a section about R.A. Long, the R.A. Long building, and a connection to the Liberty Memorial. Mr. Long was a prominant citizen and businessman in the city, built the first steel framed skyscraper, advocated for the memorial and was the founding president of the commitee to secure funding. I would venture to surmise that there might not even be a memorial in Kansas City if not for Mr. Long. 
Someone from the area with access to local records can jump in at any time but Mr. Long's company(and subsidiaries) where part of everyday life in Louisiana and he even founded Longville, Louisiana. It seems only right that mention of him in the Kansas City, Missouri, History of Kansas City, the Misouri state article, as well as some mention in the Liberty Memorial article be a given. 
He was a resident having built Corinthian Hall, a very wealthy businessman referred to as a lumber baron, and philanthropist. I am sure records will reflect that he gave to charties in his adopted city if not much to the city itself. Otr500 (talk) 04:10, 31 May 2010 (UTC)
