This special series explored the history and impact of the most distinct lines in Kansas City: Troost Avenue, the State Line, the Wyandotte-Johnson county line, and the Missouri River.

Where You Draw The Lines In Kansas City

A metropolitan area that straddles a state line provides plenty of fodder for a discussion on how Kansas Citians choose to divide themselves.

This week, we wanted to know where you draw the lines in the metropolitan area.

We went on the air and used social media to ask: What are the Kansas City metro’s strongest dividing lines? How do they affect your life?

You most commonly pointed to these borders: the Missouri River, State Line Road and Troost Avenue in Kansas City, Mo.

But you also pointed to other highways and issues that dissect the area.

See the highlights from the Tell KCUR conversation on Twitter below.
