Hugely disappointing news from Joyce Smith today in the star... Habitat relocation The Crossroads will soon lose another retailer. Habitat Shoe Store, 1800 Baltimore Ave., plans to relocate to southern Johnson County this fall. The store opened in late 2005. “We hope this move will strengthen our bu...

June 20th for Best Buy

Screenland has what appears to be a new website, www.screenland.com (to my knowledge).

You can now buy tickets to see Indiana Jones at the Armour Theater!  It looks like they will have midnight showing next wednesday to usher in the theater. 

Nick and Jakes is great.  Top quality service and great food.  Every night they have a dinner special and it's usually great especially Fri & Sat nights. 

October 11th: Third Day, Swithfoot, Robert Randolph & The Family Band, and Jars of Clay Third Day, Swithfoot Lead "Music Builds" Tour Christian rockers Third Day and alt-rock outfit Switchfoot will lead the "Music Builds" tour, which takes to the road this fall to benefit Hab...

And they've also put up a cool, old-school marquee  that looks like it will light up quite nicely! 

IT IS ABOUT IMPACTING THE LEARNING ENVIRONMENT WHEN THAT IS WHAT THE REASONING IS BY THE SCHOOL DISTRICT! IF THAT WASN'T THE REASON, THEY SHOULD HAVE STATED ANOTHER REASON! READ THE ARTICLE! I call BS.  I work for the district as a teacher.  Despite the rule you cite, students wear PJ's to school e...

For as much trouble as KC seems to have with cashing in on the urban condo wave, I'd bet there's quite a bit of demand for dense bungalow-belt or north bronx or queens style urban single family houses. I know I would never live in a multi-family dwelling, although I'd consider a row house if there ...

Tim McGraw June 17  -- with Jason Aldean and Halfway to Hazard

It looks like we have a booking for the Midland.  This is the first act I've heard confirmed for the Midland.

I think the guy is hillarious.  I'll be there.

I think so.  That seems like the right area. 

One of my favorite moments or kansas city radio in 2007.  Soren Petro's rant in defense of Mike Sweeney.  Despite how you feel about Sweeney or Petro, great radio.  http://www.stationcaster.com/clicktrack/index.mp3?media=%2Fstations%2Fwhb%2Fmedia%2Fmpeg%2FSoren_s_Rant_about_Mike_Sweeney-1179420314.m...

Thanks for the pics.  As a UMKC fan, this kind of stuff is hard to come by. 

Sweeney is one of the best guys in all of professional sports and when healthy swung a monster bat.  I've never understood the hatred for Sweeney.   If you think for one second that Damon wanted to stay, you're kidding yourself.  Same for Beltran.  Damon and Beltran are nothing more than Boras money...

Why rip Sweeney?  I can understand ripping Glass, but Sweeneys only crime was that he was always hurt. 

On the news last night they said the new station would play "music not heard in KC" Seriously, how many adult alternative stations do we already have? I thought they meant cool music. We actually don't have an adult alternative station that I'm aware of.  The nearest comparison would be 9...

Agreed.  Great win for the Roos tonight.  As for the LJ thing- no connection, he's just a huge sports fan.  I go to every game and he's almost always there. 

Thanks for the replies so far.  Good suggestions.  And yes Fang, lots of programming. 

Any thoughts on LCD versus Plasma?

I wanna try and stay under $1,500 

Also, I would prefer to stay away from Best Buy, Circuit City.... But, are these places my best option? Does anyone have any places to recommend?

I'll likely have it mounted above my living room mantle. 

Habitat Shoes I can't recommend this place enough.  Awesome and unique shoes for both men and women (from sneakers to high end dress shoes).  Great selection of T's, denim, sunglasses, and bags as well, but shoes is their main thing.  The place is hip and cool without the attitude.  John, the guy th...
