Sorry, they are all wrong. The truth is that this picture is Kansas City, Missouri.
Kansas City has a large and quickly growing hispanic population. It really reminded me to say we have a little Mexico here in the midwest too.

I guess I should have been more specific. I actually meant Kansas City, not State of Kansas.
Since we are now discussing geographical matters, why is it that at least TWO cities in the US that are named after ANOTHER state than the one they're in? I mean, Washington DC is in Maryland, Kansas City in Missouri, and New York City is located in a state called New York, which bears the name of its largest city, but whose capital is Albany???

I remember when in Geography we had to learn the names of all the states and we took some tests over them. I failed every single test, but i wound up with an A in the class. You're not truly an American unless you don't know your own geography and history.

My bitch of a teacher I had for 8th grade history made us learn all of the state names, while the other 8th grade history teachers did not make their kids do that. At least I never had to remember the capitols, or I would probably still be in high school now. Other then that, I never had to learn states or capitols.
