We are renting out the house we inherited from my mother in law. Apparently there is a heat wave happening right now. The AC unit went out on the house so we found a HVAC company to go check it out. They found out that only the filters on the furnace needed to be replaced. They could have totally screwed us and install a new unit and we would have been none the wiser. I've had the best luck with honest people in that city. Makes me love to visit there.
Honest and nice... I moved to the KC metro from Seattle 7 years ago. When I first arrived, I was on an elevator - it stopped and a married couple got on. The elevator started going again and they said "Hi! How are you doing today?".
I was so startled I jumped a foot in the air! I was from Seattle - you NEVER talked to people in the elevator - eye contact and head bob, maybe - but a "Hi! How are you doing today?" Not a chance... Seattle Freeze you know...
Love it here - not only did I escape what WA has become, but folks here are awesome!

There are 3 kinds of people, those that understand numbers and those that don't.

I lived in the KC area from 1984 until very early 1999. I moved there after living in Madison Wisconsin for 6 years. The folks in KC were much more friendly than the people in Wisconsin as well.

One of the many reasons we decided to move back home to KCMO after retirement instead of staying in Virginia.
