Nebraska Furniture Mart is 'the single biggest tourist attraction' in Kansas

Nebraska Furniture Mart vice president Bob Batt came to Kansas to personally dispute claims made by Wyandotte County's Unified Government that the big box electronics dealer owes millions of dollars in unpaid property taxes.

Then at the Tuesday news conference, Batt reportedly reminded us how important Nebraska Furniture Mart is to Kansas:

"We're not the bad guys here. We're the golden apple of Wyandotte County. We're the single biggest tourist attraction in the state of Kansas."
This is sad and true. So take that, Prairie Dog Town. Suck it, Garden of Eden. Eat it, World's Largest Ball of Twine.  Uh, Kansas is really hurting for tourist traps.

You make it sound like at this point in time, telling someone you're from KC is an upgrade from Lenexa. Trust me, hank...it's not, dood.

I know a couple who met online and made their first date the Furniture Mart and then Cabellas. That is sad.

Uh, no, we're really not. Hurting, that is, although I'll admit we're short on tourist traps. It's one of the things I like about living here.

If you want to live around tourist traps, move to California. That should cure you.
