What’s your KCQ? Ask us your questions about Kansas City’s history, culture, quirks
When you are walking down the street or driving to work, what questions about Kansas City pop into your head?
Do you wonder about the future of Troost? How about the history of the Crossroads? Or does your mind wander to why burnt ends became so popular here in the first place?
We want to hear your most curious questions about Kansas City, the people and businesses that make the metro great, our culture or our region’s history?
Since 2018, The Star and the Kansas City Public Library have collaborated to answer your KCQs about the history, people, places and culture that make our region unique. We encourage you to ask your questions, the serious and the quirky, the big and the small.
Here are a few of the questions we’ve answered over the years:
As a kid, I remember hearing a body was once found inside the Waldo water tower. Did that really happen?
Where is she? Mom accused of killing husband and lover’s wife is a Kansas City mystery
