Well, I'm a neighbor then. I was born in Kansas and it's where I live now. Weather, much like yours... maybe slightly more drought prone than MO added to the usual nightmare that weather in the midwest is. And of course there is the natural rivalry between our states going back to bad blood during the civil war (Missouri Compromise, Bleeding Kansas, Quantrill's raiders and the Lawrence massacre.) But for as much as Kansans are suppose to dislike Missouri... good gods its so beautiful compared to Kansas. I've vacationed in Missouri a lot over the years, most Kansans have. I really doubt many in Missouri do the same except for stopping on I-70 for a few minutes on their way to Colorado. In Kansas there are some lovely foothills in the eastern 5th of the state, and the remaining 4/5ths is driving past the same completely flat farmland for hundreds of miles until you are ready to just give up in despair for wanting a curve in the road or something other than a silo or windmill in the distance.
So that covers weather and scenery... now the food then. Mostly similar to Missouri, other than we can't lay claim to the really good barbecue because that's in KC which is mostly yours. There was at one point a sizeable number of Lebanese settlers here in Kansas, so there are some touches of that in the food here and there. Example you are just as likely here to be offered Baklawa (ba Lay uh wa) as you might be Baklava elsewhere. And of course that's not all we pronounce differently. Like Arkansas, which when referring to as the state we pronounce like everyone else does. But when it comes to the river, or a town in southern Kansas called Arkansas City... to us it is (ar-Kan-zus) as opposed to (ar-kun-Saw.) I don't know why, it just is.
