KC Footnotes started with two Kansas City natives who couldn't stop talking about their hometown. Kristina Light is a lifelong writer for local publications whose love of Kansas City is absolutely contagious. She's spent years uncovering the stories, characters, and history that make this city extraordinary. Alexis Webb-Bechtold is a local artist and adventurer with a passion for finding hidden gems around every corner. Whether it's a stunning mural or a piece of architectural history most people walk right past, we know where to look and what makes it special. Together, we created KC Footnotes to share the Kansas City we love—the stories that don't make it into guidebooks, the details that bring history to life, and the hidden corners that make this city home. Whether you're visiting Kansas City for the first time or you've lived here your whole life, we promise you'll discover something new.
