Absolutely, without a doubt, it's got to be Lake Tapawingo.

Now we know why children don't have the right to vote.

Not to mention the fact that, with rare exception, the roads you drive on are also publicly subsidized.

(BTW the BEST local pizza in my opinion is Fun House, but I didn't mention that one before since technically they don't have any KC locations and are mainly known in Eastern Jackson County.) BINGO! I was waitin' for someone to say this one. I use to absolutely love their pizza when living in Indepe...

I noticed this morning that the heavy machines are back working in the section between the pedestrian bridge and Berkeley Riverfront Park. They are grading, clearing brush, and it appears they may also be starting to lay the gravel bed into the trail itself. This is good to see. It's the first sign ...

This has been in the works for a long time, if nothing else, they should change 71 in Missouri to an interstate. Yeah, I've been hearing about this one for at least a few years. It *is* on the high priority list but it's years, if not decades from completion. Lots of work has been done in southern ...

And speaking of make things pedestrian friendly, we need to have significant fines (like $300) if a car enters a crosswalk with a person in it. Denver and LA have fines this stiff and it works. What's with all the people inside the loop who stand their on the corner while their light is green, then...

creature feature- was that the weeklong things they had on Ch 5? Planet of the Apes week, Godzilla week, etc.? Actually, that did have the same name, but what I'm talking about came slightly after that. Weekly show on channel 41, Saturday nights at 10:30, in the early 1980s. Roberta Solomon (who ma...

Chubby's Back in my college days this was a late-night staple every single night of the week (except Mondays!) at their old Broadway location. Kim Son, Blue Koi, and Princess Garden are favorite places I like to take out-of-towers. Oh, also, Taqueria Mexico. I can't stand Waldo Pizza and don't get ...

This JOCO goober reminds me of one of my coworkers, who lives south of 151st st. in Olathe. I overheard an amusing conversation this afternoon between a southern JoCo woman and a man who was trying to giver her directions someplace. She kept interrupting the man telling him that the directions coul...

I work in the Power & Light Building and I grabbed the camera when I noticed this view near sunset last night. My apologies for the mesh, all the windows on the north side of the office have it and I couldn't get any of them to open more than an inch. :? http://www.syphon.com/personal/scott/pix/...

Towards the bottom of this PDF there's a chart showing projects from 2001 onward. (Don't know how current it is.)

Well, that owner commitment does make me feel better about it. Still for the pricetag, I'd rather the tax go ahead and be a little higher and move at least 1 of the stadiums (baseball!) closer in. That would make me feel like there was more of a benefit. I just don't want to pay a tax that's mainly ...

Don't read this until you vote, I don't want to taint your response! :) . . . . . . . When I read the article this morning about Bistate II, I cringed. I'm all for things that help the area, but with the economy still in shambles I cannot in good conscience vote for a tax that basicly gives hundred...

What kind of food do they serve for breakfast? I always thought that was an Italian place (I have never been) and can't imagine what that would mean breakfast-wise.

This is completely pointless. People who hate KU are dissing Lawrence and people who hate MU are dissing Columbia. Where is the objectivity? I don't like either KU nor MU. :) As for the cities, I like Lawrence better. Outside of the eastern industrial area and the stretch of 23rd street that resemb...

Crime? Only crime I've ever had committed against me or my property was living in a KS suburb.....take that for what you will. Since finishing college I have lived in Blue Springs, the Hyde Park area of KC, the Crestwood area of KC, Overland Park, Olathe, and Downtown KC (River Market). In that tim...

Thanks for posting the info. I was awakened early this morning by the strong smell of wood smoke and thought there was a fire in my building. Went outside and the smoke was so thick I couldn't see buildings more than about 6 blocks away. The only source I could find was the smouldering remains of a ...
