The cities also indexed their streets off of the same river, but at different places along the curving bank. As a result, traveling south in KCMO increments the street numbers, but in KCK, the numbers increment when you travel west.

For more hilarity, the cities to the south of KCK adopted the KCMO street number designations, so KCK is the odd city out.

A satellite view of the Kansas City Metro area, depicting a river that turns 90 degrees at the state line, with arrows indicating the direction in which the street numbers increment: westward for Kansas City Kansas, and southward for all other areas.
