Moving to KC. Looking for info.

cahilj · 11-23-2008, 08:04

I'll be moving to the KC area sometime around April 09. This has been part of my life plan for quite some time now, and I finally got the ball rolling. I'm coming from the Commiewealth of MA, and thats one of my biggest reasons for moving.

I'm looking for some online shooting forums specific to the KC area, or MO I guess, just to start getting aclimated beforehand.

Any info you guys/gals could throw out there for me, would be great. Good places to look for a house (I had planned on somewhere south of the city), anything I should plan for with customized vehicles (they're my other passion), whatever you think I should know. Thanks!

Cahilj,

Will that be on the KS or MO side of the general area?

I live in Olathe, KS myself. It's a good city. There are a ton of options though on both sides of the state line. Are you looking to the burbs, or rural?

I am a member at http://KSCCW.com. Lot's of good folks there. Join in there and probably get a clearer perspective on what you are looking for.

My plan is to be on the MO side of the line. I also dabble in off-roading, and I've found more places to go in MO than KS, but maybe I just haven't looked hard enough. My g/f lives in Eudora, and I've really grown to love the area.

At first, I plan on some sort of rental, either apartment or house, whichever ends up being cheaper at the time. Then once I get settled, I'm looking to live rural. I've always liked living in the woods, I've never been one for the city.

I'll join up on the site you posted. Thanks for the info!

I belong to the KSCCW.com site as well there is a lot of knowledge and good people there as well. There are a lot of options in the area that you are talking about. There's a lot of racing in all forms, car shops, bikes, you just need to get acclimated to the area. Eudora is a neat little town outside of Lawrence. I am SE of Topeka in Overbrook, raised around here. You get headed this way let us know.

MissouriCarry.com has a KC forum and AR15.com (hometown forum) has a strong KC area group that gets together to eat, shoot and watch movies, etc.

You would fit right in at my neck of the woods. We do alot of shooting and we are into rock crawling and old hot rods. We do most of our hunting in the backyard or the nieghbors. My nieghbor has a carlift in his building when we need to put a liftkit or whatever on. I have a small range right out the back door. Come down and see us.. .. Plenty of houses with land for sale around here.
