we found a place and are in the process of sealing the deal on a place between wornall and ward pkwy, just south of gregory.  i think waldo has a lot more of the housing stock we are interested in north of 75th.  most of it is pre-war, bungalows and tudors, teen and thirties.  i personally dislike t...

maybe we could start a photo thread of the worst, repeat-offender/aggressive gandies in town, so we all know to never ever ever ever to give anything to these worthless leeches.  i wish i had enough money to buy ad space in the star and on metro busses to publish their photos.  i really hate panhand...

my wife and i are striking out in volker.  the houses in our price range are largely shit, or formerly nice houses that have been cut up into rentals, or poorly redone as single family gigs.  the few houses we liked are either near-yardless (we have three dogs and a cat), or well outside our price r...

i second bahua's comments.  along with the lie detector, and the random drug test, this push for surveillance is probably the most worthless and despicable of all modern, techno-fascist, un-american invasions of our basic freedoms.  it makes me heartsick to hear innocent people call for these kinds ...

yellow lab and a corgi?  huge dark brown tom cat with white belly and paws?  corner of windsor and bales?

now you and michael have taken pictures while standing in my yard.

i can see that doll's "private street".

this sort of pipe dreaming will only lead to dashed hopes and cursing this town in a few months.  i'm with grid on the transportation thing, i just don't realistically see kc getting on the ball in my life time (please surprise me). i think it would be cheaper and better received by the taxpayers if...

i had a 150 cc vespa.  you do have to follow tag/helmet/insurance laws for bikes that size.  50cc bikes are not considered motorcycles, so no tag/helmet laws, but if you by a smaller scooter, i all but garauntee you'll be try to upgrade to something with more power in a year.  i'm 225 lbs of fat and...

my real fear is that no matter what plan is put forth, having clay chastain's name attached to it gives anti-public transportation advocates all the fodder they need to kill the plan.  this man, for all his apparent passion, is a thorn in the side of everyone who wants to see meaningful progress mad...

Most people consider KS as nothing more than an annoying obstacle that you must drive through to get to places like Denver. . many people would say the same thing about kansas city.  then again, many people are ignorant.  i find it amazing how consistently people who live in urbanized area forget t...

i'm worried that if they have a rail line from the zoo to the airport black people from other cities might fly here and rob the animals from our zoo.

this article was absurd.  the criteria for determining efficiency were the kind of thing that has made consultants and quality assurance professionals the bane of rational thinkers everywhere.  fire departments were ranked based on whether or not they ran the ambulance service, which is a pretty sil...

i'll only comment on places i've been to: 1. nyc, specifically manhattan.  it deserves a lot of praise, but its cultural currency as the dreamland for every american kid who's never left their hometown finally tips the balance for me to overrated.  queens, the bronx and brooklyn i love, and i unders...

if kc wants to be a world-class city, we need to start charging more for drinks. 

if that happens, i think i will move to a world class city, because, really, the cheap drinks are a large part of what keeps me here.

good, because our geographic area for house hunting is already prohibitively small.  i'd hate to see it shrink.

i think those townhouses are within 5 blocks of ku med. probabley 45th or 46th st and rainbow.  the south east end of the med center is 41st and rainbow.  seems pretty walkable to me.  i know my wife and i are looking on the mo side and felt like a 7 block radius was pretty reasonable for her to wal...

Good to see KC's top shelf citizens out and about... i'm not really top shelf myself.  i'm a blue-collar white kid from rural kansas living in an ethnic fringe ghetto.  and while i have never, and probably never will participate in any kind of demonstration outside of a labor pickett, i have to say...

there is a house that has been perpetually for sale in volker between terrace street and wyoming street on 41st street (north side) its a two story, older style house (not really a bungalow, not really a shirtwaist, its from an earlier time period, possibly 1900-1910. it is three blocks east of sta...

it takes all kinds, i guess...
