Re: Kansas City Officially Has A New Mayor - Mark Funkhouser

Now there's word that he's trying to set up a second job in auditing consulting...saying Fridays are for his other business so he can make money. It must be hard trying to make ends meet on a mere $100,000+  :shock: One thing I didn't realize until reading coverage in The Star is that Funk's daught...

Re: Need advice on flight problem

Thanks for the feedback - I didn't really expect any compensation, but I'm still too pissed off at the whole situation to be open-minded.  Anyway, if you don't ask, you don't get.  Not really the airline's fault, except with the lost luggage, bitch flight attendant and rude employees at KCI.  Once a...

Need advice on flight problem

I'm looking for any kind of advice on what (if any) compensation I can get from Continental Airlines on the following problem I encountered: I was traveling with a group (14 of us) on a company outing and we transfered in Houston at IAH on Wednesday. After going through Customs, we checked out bags ...

Check out craigslist - you can at least see pictures and prices of places for comparison at least before having to go out to look.

Re: KC in TV and Movies

Nice topic... we have a similar one on the Omaha forum.  Of course, some of the publicity we could do without... such as a timely one the other night on the series "E.R."... "If my kids grows up to be like him I'll drop him off in Omaha! You hear me!".  Nice. (for the record... ...

Ah...here's a link to KMBC stating the upcoming GMA interview and a little preview: "We worked hand-in-glove, intensely for months, while campaigning for the job. What was I supposed to do after I got elected? Just dump her? Say, 'See ya, honey?'" Funkhouser said. http://www.kmbc.com/news/...

My favorite part of The Star article is when Burtin said she was disgusted by seeing the Mayor AND his wife going into the mayor's bathroom together. Eeeeewwwww!!  Apparently Funk can't even wipe his ass without her approval  :lol:  Or maybe they were just gettin' busy. This morning while getting re...

Man, that would be fantastic. Do you know if the plan is to move it into the old Apple Market space, or one of the other spots in the center? I know the Apple Market spot was supposed to be turned into a health club, but that seems to have fallen thru. From my understanding, Scott Fitness was going...

Didn't MODOT say that if they were to cap the freeway they would need to deepen the 'trench' to meet overhead clearance guidelines?  I was wondering if anything about that was mentioned in the meeting?

Re: New Planning/zoning/parking regulations

I still can't believe the car wash got built on Main/Linwood without scrutiny from a planning board.  Slipped under the radar, from what I understand.  And then they spend $50K to help defeat light rail - would light rail on Main even have ended up costing a car wash $50K in revenue? Anyway, I hope ...

Re: Premium Drinks

Best thing to do is just ask the bartender - that way you won't get stuck paying for something that's not included.  I agree that if you're getting something mixed with pop, then just order a call liquor like Jack.  If you're into tequila, they have some great higher end stuff out there that will ch...

Re: California Prop. 8 gay marriage ban - national protesting - coming to KC

If you can target an entire organization whose leadership funded the campaign for Prop 8 why would you waste your effort targeting a black church whose members may or may NOT have campaigned against it.  Watching this issue on the news for weeks, reading about it in papers, magazines, gay publicatio...

Re: California Prop. 8 gay marriage ban - national protesting - coming to KC

African Americans and Hispanics may have voted for Prop 8 disproportionately more than other demographic groups, but there was no national organized black or latino church providing funding for it and allegedly spreading lies about what would happen if it wasn't passed.  That's the main reason the M...

Re: California Prop. 8 gay marriage ban - national protesting - coming to KC

And you wonder why the African-American community is against gay marriage?  Perhaps it's offensive to relate the struggle of a race that was stripped from their homelands, brought here in chains, beaten while they worked for nothing until finally given freedom and then forced to live in seperate sq...
