Re: KC in TV and Movies

Parked Domain Girl is from Kansas City! http://www.urlesque.com/2010/11/03/parked-domain-girl/ That's my wife! Unity Village, where we were wed. After class, of course.

I assume a country band? Are they big?
Country. They're kind of big, but probably couldn't fill Kauffman by themselves.

Re: Crown Center: urban disaster, shining star, or in-betwee

It's hard to tell if they were ever sued for a fountain injury. Casenet is returning a whole bunch of personal injury stuff with Crown Center on it, but that appears to be related to the Hyatt collapse.

Their PR person needs to be fired.

Re: GO ROYALS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Vin Mazzaro, statistically speaking, pitched one of the worst games in the history of baseball, when has was the first player in Major League history to allow fourteen runs in less than three innings. I remember that game. A little shot from the seats right after all the carnage was over: http://ww...

Re: New (ish?) google street view for KC

It seems kind of hit and miss on the updating. The new stuff looks much nicer.

Try going north (the right arrow) a couple of times from this spot. http://goo.gl/maps/xuUH. Not bad for three-ish years difference.

AMC Mainstreet has showtimes listed through the 31st, so if anything happens it will be after that date.

Re: O.CO Coliseum

I've only seen it on tv, but the outfield wall configuration make it look deserted, even when there are 20-30k there. Note to stadium designers: if there are no fans visible in camera shots of the outfielders, you have screwed up. The best renovations in the last 15 years have involved putting seat...

Dug around a little bit on the website. They make it really hard to find that "you must have a kid" clause, and it seems like something a lot of people would miss. In that digging, I found this: "We will host adult nights for our Adult Fans of LEGO without children. Follow us on Faceb...

Re: Don't play kU fight song in Missouri schools

I know more KU fans that go to Rolla than actually go to KU. It might have something to do with being from the Missouri side though.
