6-figure towns

  CNN has another of those reports from Money Magazine and this one is on small towns with a lot residents that have high incomes and that are great towns to live in.
  I have lived right next to two of them Overland Park (KS) and Plano (TX).  They list 28 small towns.  I was sitting here and thinking OK if I won a big lottery would I move to one of these towns.  The answer is no way. 
 
  I live in Miami (FL) and no town was on the list.  I can understand why they did not list any town in FL and I agree with them.  Now I would never want to live in TX but if I had to live there Plano would not be a bad place.
  Now Overland Park (KS) I know a great deal about that city.  I never lived in OP KS but I worked in Overland Park.  Keep in mind the last time I was in Missouri was 2000.
 
  Overland Park is a town with a lot of people that think they are better than other people.  They had some nice shopping malls and I would go to the malls and take my kids.  I spent a summer working security at a the Oak Park Mall.  I worked for a different security company as a patrol officer and checked on sites in OP.  I had all the car dealers on Metcalf except for one.
  When I worked hospital security from 1972 to 2000 most of the directors of security live in OP.  It was like a code word between them. 
  Let me give you one small sample…I was working security at Oak Park Mall.  I was making my rounds a walked by a jewellery shop.  The owner was standing by the door and he said to me “Lot of people here today from Missouri.”  I said yes and walked on but I was thinking how does he know unless he went out to the parking lot and looked at the car tags.  Then I noticed the people.  There were a lot of black people shopping.  That is OP Kansas.

  I been watching HGTV and enjoy it when they are showing high priced real estate.  I like to think if I was rich which one of those homes would I buy. If I was rich I would not be living in Overland Park KS.  I would not be living in Kansas.  I might live in the South of Missouri.
