Re: Westport's fate post-P&L

Snipping the thread here for one comment. I saw some Facebook chatter regarding Ca Va, today: "If Cava has to close because the city can't keep up with the times..." Anyone know a rumor about this bar closing? Gotta assume its parking-related.

Re: wtf is happening to w. 39th?!

Is yoga 'whiter' than sitting around the internet and getting excited about which fast food corp has decided to plunk down a franchise in their giant suburban city? No.

Re: Why is there so many NIMBYs in KC?

What is YFC? Oh, youthfront- well, no and this is a false choice. ...nice to see that one year later and my presumptions were correct. My NIMBYISM has borne fruit- the first phase of the Woodside expansion has made a shitshow out of Rainbow from 46th to 47th. There's two stoplights within a block an...

Re: KC sci|tech|startups|entrepreneurial thread

Can anyone link to a story, essay, recollection of the Startup Village experience? Its a fascinating concept, curious to know more. I'm not in Tech and couldn't find a way to utilize the place. I thought the day fees were too high

Re: Kansas City Music

Current KC act Scammers has a similarly lush-sounding electronic LP using fake orchestras:

So far, the best-looking LP cover of the year is this one for Deathly Hollow.

You can catch him this coming Tuesday night @ The Ship, Raggers

Alright, this is a favorite release of 2016. Former KC act now in Los Angeles making soundtracks,

Imagine a PlayStation 1 game about Dead Can Dance, you gotta get the band to the venue on time. No stateside release

Re: wtf is happening to w. 39th?!

Are you serious that the neighborhood folks forced them out? I could see something like that happening in Olathe but not Midtown KC.

Re: wtf is happening to w. 39th?!

It sounds more like a landlord decision. It's pretty unusual a neighborhood would force a tenant to relocate, unless there were noise or related issues, not ladies sweating. Unless they have a new landlord, I'd be a little surprised that they didn't figure it out during initial negotiations. Or may...

[rimg][/rimg]The record store at 39th & Wyoming, Vinyl Renaissance, has closed. They might've moved? Cold staff, too much space. The space issue seems to be addressed by the landlord- a glance indoors shows new sheetrock dividing off the garage-windowed side facing Wyoming. Also, a Goth-esque bo...
