I see more and more runners on Main Street all the time. It’s great to see renewed activity in the city, but it’s kind of awkward when trying to walk with someone else on the sidewalk and a crew of joggers comes barreling towards you. Has anyone thought about turning the alley between Main and Balt...

FedEx is moving its Plaza center into a Westport location. Don’t know where or why however it is planned to open in May. I was at the plaza FedEx location yesterday and mentioned I'd heard they were moving to Westport. The employee claimed they weren't allowed to discuss it. I pushed further, askin...

I'm.old enough to remember Westport CID bragging about all the things they do for the neighborhood to make it nicer. Now looking to cut those things to keep up the security theater. Catching up with the forum somewhat this morning; concurring with this point. This is kind of a microcosm of the nati...

Pardon the cynicism, lousy winterreise. But c'mon! Dude said it best re: Johnny Kaws, its a lousy local dynasty.

Stretch didn't support your street car and anyone could've pirated that space's tenant finish. But yes, good on flavor town. Enjoy the various flavor profiles of mousse and goatee. Cool neighborhood.

https://cityscenekc.com/stretch-expands ... yest-space Flavor Town seeps into yet another property. ”You can call it Thou Mayest 2.0,” Guy Fieri quipped. “They had a great concept and we want to keep riding it with the same flavor profile.” Just straight ripping off another concept and growing its g...

Alright! There was a four-year lull on this topic. Let’s get this thread happening again. Any interest in selling/buying via kcrag? Used Vinyls will be new to you, at least

Whatever the fucking Crossroads is now, YJ’s Snack Bar is all the better for leaving it behind & the relocation is an improvement. More space, taller walls finely attuned with artwork of an alt-history of civic pride & civil rights - like the old joint. Seemingly a newer clientele also &...

"I don't think Peggy's retaining her lease. There's a rumor that Birdies will also relocate. In the article, the developers claim to be getting 'hate mail' but don't elaborate. Actual reporting would enlighten this- and perhaps Sight Commercial Realty could be more transparent about their visi...

https://cityscenekc.com/kismet-on-18th-street-yjs-reopening-soon/ The new location for the Snack Bar will be 1746 Washington. The restaurant staff themselves are doing a good amount of the finish, interestingly enough. There's a fair amount of personal reportage on people's social media, but no sati...

The article really shorts Ford's pioneering efforts and business savvy. I'm proud of him for going on the record with rare, actual, passionate opinions. Better journalism had better be forthcoming.

Nashville is the Overland Park/Plano of Tennessee.

I'll check out Psychic Heat's recording, I was at their first show in KC at a defunct place called Outpost on the Lower Westside. I could tell then that they were good. I didn't listen to much local music this year, was hoping for a year-end retrospective that might help with the catch-up. First mus...

The Conquerors' - "Wyld Time" Tongues - Self Titled There were a lot of good, small releases. It's hard to say what the "best" was. Unfortunately our world is a hierarchical one and I just need to contextualize my opinion for discussion. If I could give the children a world with...

Lets start compiling a year-end list. The best Kansas City record of the year is Umberto's 'Alienation.' Yes, Umberto now resides and records in LA. Anyone have any contributions?

A long-running matinee in town is at the Holy Cow Market and Music at 31st and Cherry. I was in attendance today, in fact, and saw Abandoned Bells. I spoke with an old acquaintance about matinees being more amenable to our current lifestyles than nightlife. So goes Gen X https://www.yelp.com/biz/hol...

People you still live in the midwest, and its still like Footloose here. Congregation is still met with mistrust

Big demographic changes need to occur before you're getting a 1000-person venue operating weekly shows. Around 200K people need to relocate into the metro, and lets assume 20K of them are interested in nightlife, and maybe half of them are interested in live music. Keep heart, this critical mass of ...

Yeah, to be fair, there are a couple of non-freeway routes through the bottoms. But there's no route that you could walk or bike without feeling complete out of place. Partly that's the desolation of the riverfront and the West Bottoms, but it's mostly just the completely car-only design of the con...
