Wait, I just flew out of Cincinatti last night, and thought it was the absolute worst airport ever. I flew out of the US airs terminal and it was beyond outdated. Very tight terminal, gates all close together, they didn't even have digital boards, 2 urinals in the bathroom (for an airport!), horrible lighting, and I could go on. I was surprised that terminal was in a major metro region's airport.

I like Cincy. City has character. Then flew into Charlotte..............................Don't get me started.

I think Kansas City is a highly underrated city.
It has as much history as Cincy or its cross-state neighbor St. Louis, unique identity (such as its fountains), cuisine (KC BBQ), and is probably the most significant contributor to jazz & blues music outside New Orleans and Chicago. It also has incredible, mostly unknown museums such as the Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art and the Negro Leagues Baseball Museum.

The Cincinnati airport's Concourse B (Terminal 3) which is used exclusively by Delta is much more spacious and modern than the cramped Terminal 2 which you were in.

It is underrated, Anthony Bourdain has been filming in KC all week and an all KC episode of No Reservations will be airing sometime this spring. That is a pretty high honor considering larger cities like Philly,Atlanta, Dallas, Houston, MSP, or St Louis have not had their own show. He loves the BBQ here

I think KC and Cincy have more similarities than differences, size, look, culture.

City Proper- Cincinnati
Suburban Areas- Kansas City
Natural Attractions- Cincinnati
Local cuisine- Cincinnati, very many upscale local options. Not even close.
Infrastructure/Transportation- Neither, but Kansas City is much easier to get around and more walkable. Cincinnati has the better airport, as well as two additional commercial airports in close proximity (Dayton, Louisville).
Economy- Cincinnati
Tourism- Cincinnati
Architecture- Cincinnati
Higher Education- Cincinnati
Shopping- Kansas City
Sports- Tie
Friendliness of People- Kansas City
Film/music/media- Tie
Diversity- Neither city is particularly diverse, but Kansas City is more diverse.
Nightlife- No clue
Housing Stock- Cincinnati offers a wide array of styles and architecture. The homes have attitude just like the people lol.
Name recognition/Prestige- Cincinnati

Although both cities are close in size and located in the Midwest, they are different in feel and culture. They both have their pros and cons, but I think Cincinnati wins here.
