We’re back with another round of curiousKC questions and you get to vote for your favorite one.

This time, your submissions were full of nostalgia and jogged our memories of days past. Kansas City has changed so much over the years and with talks of what folks hope for in the future, history felt like the perfect theme for August.

So get to voting and sharing this with family and friends. You have one month to vote and you can keep checking back on which query is winning any time you want on here or on our curiousKC hub. That’s also where we’ll post our findings.

You can write to us at the bottom of the page if you have a question about Kansas City that you’d like answered!

Good luck!
