Metro Center Northbound

Newcomer
Reflecting on the theme of wonder brought me back to when I first visited KC ten years ago and decided to move here. Feelings like awe are often expressed silently, at a loss for words, but the expression in one’s eyes is loud. Wide-eyed and truly gazing at Kansas City–even though this has been my home for a decade– I fall more in love all the time.
