Nice bit of reading on how this town was founded on something other than family money, a sense of entitlement and phony politeness . . .
I want to talk to you today about a rock ledge along the south bank of the Missouri River at Kansas City that served as an all-weather landing (or wharf) for thousands of steamboats over an interval of 75 years.
The rock landing sped up the development of Kansas City by 2 or 3 decades and is testimony to the benefit that geology has contributed to the building of a city.

I like it but that has to be one of the worst written articles about local limestone I've read in awhile.
