Your basic needs, however, should be done at a convenient location, and NOT wastin' fuel and spittin' out pollution jus' to be stubborn.
So basically, you guys would never step into a Barley's Brewhaus because it's in JOCO? Even if you were a beer fanatic and they had 99 beers on tap (even Rogue Dead Guy, bahua)? What about a great Italian restaurant like Gambucci's in Olathe or a delicious Mexican restaurant like Cozumel's in Leawood? I know plenty of "suburbadroids" that spend their dining dollars on Southwest Boulevard or the Plaza. Maybe I can understand shopping, why go to the same places they have at Oak Park if they have them at Crown Center or the Plaza (since the Plaza is becoming an outdoor Oak Park).....but the dining/drinking part of it boggles my mind.
Its a lot easier to support joco when you live there.
Don't you find it odd that so many on this forum live outside of JOCO, but work there, away from the core, outside of their state. I admit, I work in joco and live in kck, but to tell you the truth, I am almost forced to go there.
If I need specialty computer equipment, I have to go outside kck. If I want the best deal on electronics, clothing, or even groceries, I have to leave kck. In fact even fast food is priced higher at kck franchises, probably to make up for the high ass taxes. I persist, shopping at places with guaranteed low prices, like wal-mart here, but the wal-mart here doesn't carry nearly as much merchandise as any of the multiple joco wal-marts. I work in joco and kck is too far to drive back to for lunch, so money goes to their food establishments. If I want to see a movie, the closest theater is in Merriam.
What do I do, JOCO has a lot, WYCO has very little.
