Kansas City was on its best behavior when Major League Baseball's Midsummer Classic came to town. We helped tourists get around the Plaza. We chatted them up in bars. We even high-fived them at the game. We made them feel welcome. Even though we're still feeling a bit of All-Star Game fatigue, the event brought the locals together and gave us renewed pride in our city, even with all its problems. Sure, we might not have gotten the economic boost that the game promised, but being in the spotlight reminded us why we like it here.
