A relativly small, Kansas City, Kansas Neighborhood. Clarance Hightower says of the "Q": "the child poverty rate is an astonishing 62 percent. This is higher than 96 percent of all other neighborhoods in the United States.
Likewise, the annual median income is lower than 86 percent of American neighborhoods, and the real estate vacancy rate is approaching 30 percent, which is higher than 94 percent of other U.S. Census tracts."
Needless to say this exclusively Black neighborhood is very poor, dangerous, and holds many drugs, and other things typical to such areas in America. Though, the Q is anything but "typical"... It is quite historical in it's connection to the civil war per John Brown, and the Underground Railroad. Nobody can go there on just a visit, because it's hostile to outsiders. There is a Civil War museum not far from the street actually named "Quindaro", that's still within the old Q township, which may be visitable... Yet, please use due caution, and respect to the culture around you, and don't go unless you are really interested in this history.

If you go down to Quindaro, and you are white, you will look like Casper, and you better be just as friendly! Or else... "BANG!"

Nick name for "Wyandotte" County, home to Kansas City, Kansas... The other side of the state border to the still larger Kansas City, Missouri. Within this primarily urban county, there is enough poverty to create so-called crime epidemic. Neighborhoods such as the Black civil war refuge neighborhood "Quindaro", which is one of the poorest in the country, and the mainly Hispanic area of Central Ave. (To name a few), are riddled with a high crime rate... Therefore giving context to the obvious mash up of the two words "Crime", and "Wyandotte".
If u cross dat bridge when u downtown KCMO, an u wind up in Crimedotte, you Betta not make no mo' wrong turns, else u jus' might not be gettin' home tanite! Flip a Ue, an get back to ya plush loft, quick, nigga!

>^..^< Kansas City Kitty; an Irish Catholic resident of Kansas City, female, with children who she will viciously defend to the death, poor, and probably once a resident of the West Bottoms under the rule of the big Boss Man and crooked Irish Catholic Gangster, leader of the Goats fighting the Rabbits, and known to mess with people from KKK presidents to Jazz musicians, and the Italian Mafia: Tom Pendergast (now has a KC bar named "Tom's Town" after him). The KCK was made famous by a WB cartoon called "We, the Animals Squeak!" Which is a Looney Tunes cartoon animated short starring Porky Pig. Released August 9, 1941, the cartoon is directed by Bob Clampett. The voices were performed by Mel Blanc, Sara Berner, Billy Bletcher and Michael Maltese. You can find her in her modern form under hashtags like #KansasCityKitty #KillaCityKitty #KillerCityKitty #KCModel etc. There is a store in Colorado named after her, but not a real KCK, because it's in Colorado, so just a trendy wanna be Denver Hippy sorta thing. There is some WWII nose art depicting her. She is the Woman of all Women! She may enjoy fighting, spiting, cussing, drinking, cat walking, and more! 🐈 Also used as a code word for Kansas City Kansas (KCK), though typically thought of as a Missourian.
Kansas City here I come... They got a thousand pretty women, and I'm gonna get me one... A KCK, I hope!

This term is used to (re)define "Kansas City", using the initials "K.C.". In the Fat Tone song (the Killa City rapper murdered in a deadly, 2-way dispute with rival Vallejo, CA. rappers) he says "...he started calling..." "Kansas City": "Killa City", due to so many of those he knows being "knocked off". If this is merely a use of flamboyance, or a literal, and legitimate claim by Fat Tone, this author may not say. The use of an "a" on the end of "Killa" is a typical, trademark spelling, and pronunciation often employed by urban individuals, especially in rap culture... Eg. Nigga, Brotha, etc.
Shit be jumpin' off in Killa City... If you are in it, you best be packin' yo' hitter, else you gonna get yo' head blowed right da fuck off, nigga!
