Kansas City mainstream media is mostly focused on drawing local connections to terrorism tragedy and fear in/near Boston.
But more than anything, we're once again impressed with the contribution of Kansas City sports writer and blogger Greg Hall.
Mr. Hall talking about coping with aftermath of the tragedy was not only inspiring but also helped to draw Kansas City residents even closer to the story. Real Talk: Greg Hall talking about shedding tears over the event was a powerful admission given that we really don't expect sports guys to have feelings about anything at the top of newscasts.
KCTV5: Sports columnist Greg Hall is back in Kansas City after running in the Boston Marathon but he still struggles with the trauma after the bombings.
And now, check out this extensive lists of stories about the drama near Boston with a focus on stories with a distinct Kansas City connection:
