A city with not many infrastructures, entertainments, good mall... basically a not really developed city.

It's developed, but certainly auto-centric outside the urban core. It's not going to be a fast-paced coastal city, but it isn't too bad of a place to live.

Wow, uh...

Kansas City certainly has plenty of infrastructures and entertainments, so that's not a problem. However, good malls are pretty common, so I'm not sure how that makes a city "not boring".

I've often heard K.C. described as having big city ammenities with a small town feel. Given the population and geographical location that is a pretty apt description.

I heard it to, but it's the opposite to me. A small town with a big city feel. No matter how many "big city" attractions there are, the people will be "country" to me. Not bad, but they like things slower pace/keeping to self

I moved here from Philadelphia. Philly doesn't have much more, if anything going on. The only thing I miss is the direct europe flights.

Cities like NYC, LA, Miami are in a different league.

This is not far off, though I would say the slower paced vibe is more prominent in the suburbs, especially the ones that lean working class. Once you get to urban parts of town, especially midtown to downtown, this vibe is much less pervasive.
