I was told by a few fellow providers that KC rocks. I was also told by a few hobbyists that not many providers travel through. Looking through the ads, it seems you have more visiting providers than NOLA. I am going to take my chances because airfare is reasonable enough. I am so unfamiliar with the area, is it larger than New Orleans?
Within the actual city limits, Kansas City is larger than New Orleans. If you count Jefferson Parish, Lake Ponchatrain (and the Causeway), the North Shore (Mandeville, Covington, etc) and Slidell, the greater New Orleans area is larger.
Why not just use numbers. The KC metro is about 2 million. Go out 30 to 60 miles and you probably pick up another 500,000 or so. And you won't need waders.
Although,
I was walking down Bourbon Street this Mardi Gras at 4:00AM and was propositioned Four times in a two block walk,
(once by a Stunning Blonde who drove down the middle of Bourbon Street in a brand new Toyota Camry)
