Not All That Bad

Independence, Missouri is just like any other fairly large, fairly old town. A city approaching 200 years old and having nearly 120,000 residents is going to have both old and new, good an bad. I am a Kansas City area native, having grown up on the "Kansas" side of the state line. I moved to eastern Jackson county many years ago and more specifically to Independence about 6 years ago. Independence has a large variety of things to do, it's a pleasant place to live and is a very affordable community. Yes there are areas of town that are not new and shiny and yes there is some crime in Independence however, the city and surrounding areas are decent and affordable. Those who bad mouth the area would be better served in participating in it's improvement and helping to once again help make Independence a shining star.
