Re: SICKO

there's a precedent for michael moore's films... it's called agitprop and no one should be surprised that it's successful again given how complacent americans have become with substandard and corrupt representation. why aren't we more angry? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Agitprop http://en.wikipedia....

Re: KCI Passenger Use Soars

i would settle for a local bus that runs on the evenings and weekends! BRT or express from 10th/main or CC/US would be an ideal low-cost option for serving KCI in the interim (and to boost LRT ridership). once they decide on a new terminal it could incorporate rail from the beginning.

Re: Crossroads gains a foothold

There may be some real efficiences to be gained by combining/coordinating coverage from all these security groups. Between the CID's and the private security, there has to be a lot of employees. i'm pretty sure the downtown CID is tight with the security guards that staff the banks and government b...

um, i thought the whole thing with real plates and a new dishwasher was to eliminate waste from disposables? i don't use paper plates and plastic cups at home for the same reason. funk is apparently kansas city's bill clinton. every speck of dirt becomes a dust bowl until people just start tuning ou...

Crossroads gains a foothold

Crossroads gains a foothold in KC's new downtown A year after opening, JP Wine Bar and Coffee House is way ahead of projections, drawing a crowd ranging from fashionably dressed 20-something suburbanites to sophisticated downtown condo dwellers. Business is so good, in fact, that JP’s is closing fo...
