Kansas City is America’s 19th filthiest city

You have to love arbitrary magazine lists that pit American cities against one another. In this year alone, people who don’t live here have ranked Kansas City the 36th drunkest city, the 21st most dangerous city, and home of the nation’s second-best barbecue. Men’s Health even gave us props for an imaginary light rail project. Honors all.

And now Travel + Leisure has bestowed another ranking on our fair city: The 19th dirtiest spot in the country. Whoo!
