    Westside

    Kansas City's original suburb, first settled in the mid-1800s. Thanks to the West Bottoms packinghouses, folks migrated from Ireland and Sweden, and Latin American countries, and made their homes up on the hill--only a short walk to work at the stockyards. Diversity lives on in Westside businesses and residents.
