I live in Scarritt Renaissance, which is a great little neighborhood of Kansas City. You can read a bit about the neighborhood here and here. The Neighborhood is wonderful.
The view from my balcony is The Concourse, a park with a fountain that is beautiful, what was once the Crossroads of the town.
