The Missouri KC, often nicknamed "KCMO" (pronounced K-C-Moe), contains most of what people think of when they think of Kansas City. That includes the two major sports franchises in the area (UsefulNotes/MajorLeagueBaseball's Royals and the UsefulNotes/NationalFootballLeague's Chiefs), the architecture and the culture. It features more fountains than any city in the world, save Rome, and more boulevards than any city in the world, save Paris.

"KCK" (the Kansas side) is home to Sporting Kansas City of UsefulNotes/MajorLeagueSoccer and Kansas Speedway, the region's outpost in UsefulNotes/{{NASCAR}}. It was also home to the Kansas City Current in the National Women's Soccer League, but that team is opening its own stadium in KCMO in 2024. Many residents of the region live in the ''absurdly'' wealthy suburbs on the Kansas side and commute to KCMO proper for work.
