There are a lot of interesting things about Lee’s Summit, MO, that you might not be aware of, and depending on where you live, you might not have ever heard of this neighborhood in the first place.
- It’s not the biggest town in Missouri, nor is it the most exciting place in the world.
But it is a large neighborhood with a small-town feel to it, but this is the sort of neighborhood where everyone acts like they are your neighbor. There is a wealth of interesting history to the area, as well, including a few famous names from history, but have you ever heard of the James-Younger Gang in the outdated west? Jesse James ran the gang, however four of the Younger Brothers backed him up, plus that family is from Lee’s Summit! On a more positive note, legendary Jazz musician Pat Methany also hails from Lee’s Summit! There is one other thing you might not know about this area, plus that is the cannabis crops grown here are spectacular… For such a quiet plus unassuming neighborhood you would never feel that Lee’s Summit is condo to some of the finest, tastiest marijuana strains in the nation, however as a play off local history, one of the Lee’s Summit cannabis dispensaries sell a special hybrid they call the James-Younger Strain, a sativa that packs quite a punch! Most of the local budtenders don’t understand the rich lore of history here in Lee’s Summit, so usually when I drop by the cannabis dispensary I provide them an earful about the past in this community.
