A gentleman posted a message asking, if somebody knew some Czechs living in Kansas City. To which Mr. Ross 'Rosta' Hedvicek replied: I don't know about any Czechs in Kansas City, but if you go to Lincoln (Nebraska) and yell out in the middle of the square "Are there any Czechs here?" you will have a bunch of them around you in no time.
