NAME YOUR KANSAS CITY PERSON OF THE YEAR!!!

And so we share a new feature for a blog community and offer yet another opportunity for reader participation . . .

NAME YOUR KANSAS CITY PERSON OF THE YEAR AND WHY THEIR ACHIEVEMENTS DESERVE OUR BLOG COMMUNITY PRIZE!!!

Here's how it works . . .

We'll look at the comments for this post and then share official nominees with newsletter subscribers who have the only votes that count. 

We're hoping to see some creativity at play and funny suggestions should always take the lead in much the same way that Lana Del Rey is our all time favorite faux Latina because Elizabeth Woolridge Grant is too boring to remember.

We'll announce the results sometime before the end of the year and the honor will be much more significant than the typical civic blathering over ballers and billionaires.

You decide . . .
