11 Surefire Ways To Always Spot A Tourist In Kansas City
Sometimes, you’re casually people watching and you notice something out of place. Is it a tourist? Odds are, there are a few easy tells that’ll give you an idea where they’re from. Besides the obvious difference of state tags and faraway football teams, here’s some great ways to spot them. Tourists aren’t a bad thing to have around… but they are funny to watch sometimes.
We’re aware that these uncertain times are limiting many aspects of life as we all practice social and physical distancing. While we’re continuing to feature destinations that make our state wonderful, we don’t expect or encourage you to go check them out immediately. We believe that supporting local attractions is important now more than ever and we hope our articles inspire your future adventures! And on that note, please nominate your favorite local business that could use some love right now: https://www.onlyinyourstate.com/nominate/
I mean, does anyone really live here until they've tried these?
Some of us might go tasting other brews, just in case a good one comes along, but we've all pretty much made our choices by adulthood. Boulevards or bust!
You can tell they don't know about our weather when they have so many layers on in the fall. It's going to be 80 in three hours, don't you know?
You can always tell whether they're just in the spirit or if they've genuinely never seen it before.
Though many Kansas Citians do come here for races, odds are you're also seeing a lot of tourists.
We've been there and done that more than a couple times already.
Double points if they tell you that you have the accent.
We just don't mention this, ever. It doesn't even have anything to do with us!
We don't expect you to do it to everyone, but if you meet eyes, at least lift a couple fingers to say hi.
Odds are you've already planned to wear earplugs or earmuffs. You just know better.
This ties in with the accent part, but sometimes their vocabulary is what sets them apart from locals.
If you’re looking to avoid tourists, you probably won’t find many of them at these family-owned restaurants right here in Kansas City.
