Of course, I don&#39;t write news articles, but when speaking or writing to people who are not from around here, I just say Kansas City. If they are savvy enough to wonder, I explain. For Kansas Citians, I add the state when I mean Kansas City, Kansas. Seems to work. <br /><br />I just thought of something. If you Google &quot;kansas city&quot; on Google Maps, up pops the map for Kansas City, MO. Whatever that implies.Royhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13374537094067415065noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7122549.post-4010466945718170642009-07-09T16:54:28.995-04:002009-07-09T16:54:28.995-04:00Is there a list of such cities without states/countries? Is this like one word people like Madonna or Prince?<br />What about Paris, Kentucky?<br />Also, I agree with Nick.Michaelhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11305474697512612487noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7122549.post-60344237678388660482009-04-05T11:55:00.000-04:002009-04-05T11:55:00.000-04:00A dateline city is one that isn't supposed to be routinely accompanied by its state or country. Whereas it's "Lyon, France," it's "Paris." Whereas it's "Rochester, N.Y.," it's just "New York" for the city.Billhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01512881095588291721noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7122549.post-28282710707371203262009-04-05T11:53:00.000-04:002009-04-05T11:53:00.000-04:00Might be a stupid question, but what's a dateline city?JD (The Engine Room)http://www.blogger.com/profile/00836972574430969375noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7122549.post-22199733835039863532009-03-25T21:12:00.000-04:002009-03-25T21:12:00.000-04:00Ha. I remember when the existence of that New Mexico town led some to justify "Las Vegas, Nevada, gambling" in the name of AP style.Billhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01512881095588291721noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7122549.post-86204720117704976862009-03-25T21:07:00.000-04:002009-03-25T21:07:00.000-04:00But what about Las Vegas, New Mexico?JByrdhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08471973109690213328noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7122549.post-70014960172483549952009-03-23T17:26:00.000-04:002009-03-23T17:26:00.000-04:00What he said.Billhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01512881095588291721noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7122549.post-55093400629313470002009-03-23T12:08:00.000-04:002009-03-23T12:08:00.000-04:00At The Wichita Eagle, our style makes a clear distinction between "Kansas City" the metropolitan area and the dual Kansas Cities in Missouri and Kansas.<BR/><BR/>More often than not, when a local person talks about "Kansas City," they're talking about the sprawling metropolitan area generally, and not specifically about a municipality named Kansas City. When I say I'm going to visit my sister-in-law "in Kansas City," I'm actually planning a trip to Lenexa, Kan. If I'm planning a shopping trip "to Kansas City," I'll probably do a little shopping in Kansas City, Mo., Kansas City, Kan., and Leawood, Kan. When you're talking about Sprint headquarters "in Kansas City," you're really talking about the company's campus in Overland Park, Kan.<BR/><BR/>Long story short, outside of datelines, there's often _no need_ to add the state to Kansas City. It is one place that happens to straddle two states.Nickhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03328084068949300461noreply@blogger.com
