Scoop of cheez wiz? Clearly they don’t have cheez wiz in the uk.
They only found out that you could have flavor in foods like 10 yeas ago. Cut them some slack.

So, considering this has been a Grinders staple for over a decade, how is it that this ends up in such a fine publication as the Mail in 2018?

I've been trying to track this but they seem to have pretty much zero social media presence. Do you know if this just a production facility or will they have a tasting room too?

Why not have a tasting room? Noted that there was a Mean Mule cocktail at the new Hotel Indigo Crossroads, but they were substituting a different spirit because MM wasn't yet available...

The Better Block design on Oak is exactly what should have been done a few months ago.
Traffic moved along SB perfectly fine the first day and people were parked in the floating spots. About the only change I would have added is a temp middle turn lane instead of NB being two lanes.

Has the City ever taken any steps to implement Better Block proposals on a permanent basis? Or is the whole purpose to "get people talking" about how road diets wouldn't completely collapse Kansas City's drive-scape?

IMHO it's tough to implement on a permanent basis when you have a public works department that, from what I can tell, is still largely against any infrastructure that isn't for the automobile.

Is all the traffic lights being out on Oak during rush hour a part of this, or is that just an unlucky coincidence? (Today is the first day I’ve seen it and it’s a bit of a mess for both drivers and pedestrians.)

It’s better now, but at 5:00 traffic was backed up a couple blocks and pedestrians were hesitant to cross because they couldn’t tell if it was their turn or if it was safe.

I mean is a two block backup at rush hour really a mess? Cars not yielding to peds at a 4 way stop is just a mess that happens everywhere in this city because dick drivers.

They have not. One year they didn't even show up to the event they permitted. *sigh*
The flashing reds are part of the installation. We weren't sure PW would allow it, but they did. It's only a month and we're collecting data.
