I totally agree there are bad seeds and aren't doing their job properly.   Exactly, and it would really be too bad if poor oversight over such employees leads to major public embarrassment for an entire district.  Seems like it's in everyone's best interest to reign in bad employees. Make it a prio...

Do you honestly think Cordish is training their staff to not allow in people of color?  Have people gone completely insane? It would be stupid/insane, I agree, if they were TRAINING their staff TO not allow in people of color.  I think it's more likely that they're simply not properly training thei...

But I've been told I couldn't enter a place with an untucked shirt, then I tucked it in and I went it.  Not a big deal. According to the articles I've read, access was denied because a dude in their party had an untucked shirt.  Dude tucked in said shirt, access still denied.  No reason given. Alle...

It's highly likely it's still under the ongoing fraud investigation process.

We got ours last year at Carolyn's, and did the corn maze as well. Going to pick out a pumpkin the the patch and doing all the associated stuff (drinking hot cider, taking a hay rack ride, maybe feeding some goats) is a big growing up tradition for me, so I'll generally always choose making it an ou...

I moved to the KC metro from the farmland of northern Illinois, and grew up in farming culture...when I was grown, I took a job in journalism, and covered what was going on in agriculture in my region, among other things. It's an incredibly gruelling lifestyle, but one that is near and dear to my he...

Biscuits and gravy at Cook Shack Cafe just south of 89th and Wornall.  Not trendy, just cheap, rib-sticking breakfast fare served up by a family headed up by a retired firefighter who used to be his station's cook, I believe. Tiny and very small town diner in feel. Boxty at O'Dowd's is Irish comfort...

Yep, it's pretty uncommon to even FIND a CVS or Walgreen's where the competitor isn't located within a block or so, if not right across the intersection. Pretty standard.

First, I think that, while racism, some obviously overt and some covert, is a large part of the issue, it is also added to a large amount of sore-loserism.  The Republicans honestly expected to have a permanent majority a few years ago- they thought that the Democratic Party was headed the way of t...

:shock:  I hope they go the more "gourmet" mexican route.  Everytime I have ever been to a "mexican buffet" it has always been a horrifying experience involving scary amounts of congealed glop.  It seems like the standard tex mex "tortilla-bloat" menu items do not lend...

Uno's chain concept is virtually worthless, although their original location and sister location in Chicago are okay.

? The atmosphere of a Ted's is determined by the activity level of other patrons in the dining room? I'd say places like Ted's, Outback, Yard House, Chili's get more unpleasant with the more people you stuff inside. Yes, the atmostphere of a restaurant is greatly dependent upon whether or not it's ...

I will say it is usually busier the times I have seen it compared to that one experience you had. That's why I asked.  I figured there was no logical reason it would still be in business if it routinely attracted 1-2 tables of diners throughout the weekend dinner hour.  Figured it must have been a ...

Except there's no atmosphere at all in a restaurant that's literally empty in the middle of the dinner hour on a Friday night. 

I guess it makes sense...The food was only okay, and we stayed in P&L for a while, but ended the night in Westport, and by that point, I was wishing I'd just had a Flea Market burger. Next time...

I don't eat dinner at the district often by any means, so I don't know if my experience was typical, but my SO, a friend and I were one of a whopping two tables of diners in Ted's Montana Grill Friday evening, about 7-ish. That seemed odd to me, but as I said, I don't eat dinner downtown often enoug...

Kinda like how some people say Brookside when they are really in Waldo.  I've even seen some agents refer to listings east of Troost as "East Brookside". Kind of like how that one porn shop that seems to always be advertised in the Pitch is billed as "on the extreme eastern edge of t...

That area is referred to as the Country Club District, and having spent much of my social life in it during high school and grade school I have to say you are dead wrong.  No, it's not an 'urban' area and it is mostly houses, but it makes up for that with how beautiful it is.  Those neighborhoods a...

Probably 45-ish, total.  About 15 minutes for the front yard, about 30 for the back.  The back yard would be no problem, except that it's mostly comprised of a very steep hill. Boyfriend typically does it, because he's never had a yard to mow, and still thinks it's "novel."  I grew up rura...

Hah!  I work with a Rockhurst alum who says Harling's was one of her collegiate haunts and swears up and down that it's no longer open...I didn't think she was right.
