Hello from Kansas City...

[RCupp]

My name is Robert. I have a decent home shop with an Enco mill and Southbend Fourteen lathe and other equipment. My primary interests are engine building, model railroading and anything else mechanical. I'm a long time watcher first time poster...

Thanks everybody...

Finally starting to get the shop moved, wired and set up from old to new house. Haven't got any work done in 6 months so I'm really itching to get at it again.

BTW I'm on the Missouri side

Just curious but does Kansas city overlap 2 states? and which side is the Missouri side?

Best Regards

Welcome, Robert, from just down the road in Eudora (just East of Lawrence).

Bob,
There's Kansas City, Kansas and Kansas City, Missouri. The Missouri side is the East side.

I'm not from that area but I believe that KC, MO is the older city. According to Wikipedia it was founded in 1838, some 17 years after MO became a state. The name derives from its proximity to the confluence of the Missouri and Kansas rivers. KC, KS was founded in 1868, some 30 years later. Apparently the Kansas settlers didn't notice the city of the same name just across the river when they named their city.
