Agreed. Just looks a little like "here's a decent steak...side dishes consist of Cheetos and Funyans."

The article sounds nice, but why take on the expense of granite countertops if you're only providing basic/builder-grade fixtures/sinks and old-school (non-flat top) cooking surfaces????

Sounds like their first few units are coming online soon.

Meh...history and tradition are apparently passe. Too bad the folks at the Royal don't get it.

My GAWD....

Anyone else tried the 2013 batch of Bob's 47? It's typically my favorite local brew of the year, but the sixer I picked up this week seems a tad on the bitter side and frankly, not up to par with years past. Perhaps my local booze shop mishandled it. Anyone else have a 2013 experience?

Here is a recent update on the City's ED activity...I got his notes. 2013 Economic Development Update August 28, 2013 Raytown Chamber Presentation Disappointments: YMCA: -Contracted back to its’ comfort zone of urban ...

So, what are your perceptions of my city? Be honest.
