Strawberry Hill makes for a great view of Kansas City MO -- except for the ugly telephone wires. Oh well -- we love our infrastructure too. We have to remember that when it clutters up the shot!
The exact view is from the small monument in front of the Strawberry Hill Cultural Center. The monument is also a virtual cache!
From wikipedia, some history of this diverse area of Kansas City KS: (

"Strawberry Hill is a Kansas City, Kansas neighborhood on the bluffs overlooking the confluence of the Kansas and Missouri Rivers. It is now a mainly South Slavic community.
Strawberry Hill was previously known as Splitlog Hill, after Mathias Splitlog, a wealthy Indian mill owner who purchased the area and built a mansion on it in 1870.[1] He later sold parcels to the Catholic church and to railroad interests.[2]
After the area was subdivided, the new Strawberry Field neighborhood was established in the late 19th century Immigrants from Croatia and Slovenia found a home along the river's hillside. They built a community where people could worship, celebrate and prosper while maintaining their distinct Slavic heritage.
The neighborhood is bordered by I-70, 7th St, Central and Minnesota." [end]
