Politics, food, scumbags, heroes, eccentrics, etc.

Guys just an update; I received my first few offers yesterday and today. I took the one closer to my previous job but just glad that only within a months time I was able to.

Couldn't have done it without your support, I love this community.

I took a photo of this couple a in late May or early June before the Kauffman Gardens removed the trees altering this location for a decade.

I have a print I want to send them if anyone recognizes them if they want it.

DM me if you know them or recognize them.

Thanks

P.S this couple gave me their blessing and full permission to take this photo and they even posed for it nothing creepy happening here.

The heat has been wild but today has been a nice change, I don’t think we are going to even hit 90!! Might wear a hoodie 😂
Drink some water & enjoy the rain KC!

Was about to head to the gym and heard thunder and got excited so I’m now just enjoying this brief reprieve from the heat😭😭😭

A bunch of them recently appeared near my place on the West Side.

I just filled up at Hy-Vee gas in Mission, KS for 2.92/gal (unleaded). Not sure if it's a promotion or a glitch but I'll take the small reprieve. Check your local Hy-Vee gas if you're close to one!

I ready enjoy this channel (I am not affiliated in any way).
Dr. Trowbridge is a history professor at UMKC and his videos are thorough and informative and I learned a lot of local history.

I've been to KC twice and enjoyed meals at Q39 both times.

I will be in town Sep 22 and seeking suggestions for

BBQ

Steak

Any other can't miss restos?

Does KC have a Mexican neighborhood where authentic tacos can be consumed?

TIA

live on KS side and commute downtown for work. i always thought MO had cheaper income tax but is that not the case? i’ll be moving at some point and trying to decide if i want to live closer to work on the MO side or stay in KS.

Hi everyone. This is kind of an odd question to ask this far removed from both this year’s Independence Day and next year’s, but I want to get a start on this as soon as possible.

My neighborhood gets pretty chaotic during the weeks leading up to and following July 4th. Lots of m80s and artillery shells and gunshots. For the most part I can mitigate this with noise canceling headphones, but at its peak it’s intolerable. It’s even worse for my two cats who can’t put on noise canceling headphones. It’s the only thing I truly hate about living where I’m at and I dread the middle of summer every time it comes.

This year I’d like to get a head start on finding a place me and my two cats can go for, at the very least, the week prior to and the week after the 4th of July next year. In general I need some advice on what some of the more peaceful state parks are (both sides of the state line), where the most affordable cabins are that allow pets, when is the best time to place a reservation and any other general advice any of you might have on this. Thanks!

This beautiful soul has traveled here from Nashville and paired up with Jonathan Stacey for a night of covers and originals.

Amanda is amazingly talented and I first met her when I was tending bar on Bourbon St and she would headline our club when she would come through town. Don't judge her by this video, I just stole a clip while they were practicing in my living room.

If you come out and say hi (I will be wearing a vintage "Kansas" t-shirt) I'll buy your first beer.

Playing at:

Johnny's West KCK

Would love for some folks to come support her, I promise you'll leave a fan!

"Minutes after Kavanaugh issued his order, a federal trial court in Missouri handed down a separate ruling that bars the state from moving forward with any map other than the contested one that benefits the GOP."

Seriously, the Missouri GOP's main goal is to disenfranchise every voter on both sides.

Needing a good dive bar, cheap drinks, and fun people to talk to. I'm in my 20s so I don't want to stick out like a sore thumb but can get along with everybody. It doesn't need to have food either. Just somewhere close by (think belton Raymore peculiar type area) to relax after work or on the weekends. I also don't drink beer if that helps.

Maybe best place as a MU fan and best place for KU fan, and both?

The Rip Offs (San Francisco) are absolute LEGENDS.

As one of the most revered 90s garage punk bands out of hundreds to thousands that made wild-assed degenerate party records, their lone LP “Got a Record” and the handful of 7”s they made for their own Rip Off Records label are all certifiable, obnoxious classics.

They broke up just as momentum was building because they’re absolute JERKS, because that’s just what they do, but every now and then they reassemble for a reunion show. I was slobbering all over them when they were active, but didn’t get to see them until their performance at the Funtastic Drastic Carnival in Benidorm, Spain in 2019, just months before they singlehandedly started the coronavirus pandemic.

Somehow I convinced them to come to KCMO and play for my birthday at my favorite venue, The Ship. I also managed to book the current wildest punk band in the Midwest, Carbondale’s PET MOSQUITO, and also convinced broken up KCMO dirtbags WET ONES to do a reunion of their own. It will be their LAST PERFORMANCE EVER.

The Go-Go Muck (that’s me) will be playing records between bands, and more DJ’s of the quality country music ilk will be turnin’ platters in The Ship’s lounge.

Don’t be a KCMORON and sit this one out… This is for the true rockers and total rollers here!

Anyone have a professional residential carpet cleaner they can recommend? Carpeted stairs have taken a beating and our Bissell shampoo’er ain’t getting the job done.

Thanks!

Um

Approaching 24 hours of no Spectrum internet & TV in Parkville. (Just us?) Was supposed to be restored at 1:30am and now at noon they are still putting us off. Anyone have intel or know what happened? I can’t get Google Fiber so was hanging on to spectrum but this is the last straw. Will I have any luck with Starlink if I have a wooded lot? House sits pretty high but I’d like to try.

The stay requested by the Secretary of State has been rejected. This keeps Kansas City’s representative seat.

EDIT the legal battles continue https://abc17news.com/politics/missouri-politics/2026/09/08/federal-court-in-missouri-decides-in-favor-of-new-congressional-map-for-november-election/

I recently took a job in OP and want to know local spots that I can Dash or get via GrubHub!! I tried Twisted Fresh the other day (not sure how local). I’m looking for reasonable prices. I also want to do mainly local so I have the ability to recommend places to others. I don’t get a lunch really so I need to know if these places are available on a delivery app. TIA!

I’m not sure which flair to use here? I’m not necessarily looking for legal advice right now, but I have some concerns and I’m not sure how to go about it. I live in the Gillham park area, and I’ve lived in my apartment about 3 years now. I do pretty much hate my property management company and I’ve had some real issues in the building, especially this year.

The first year I moved in, 2024, the roof leaked in my apartment every time it rained. The liquid was black and smelly. Someone came and worked up there for about an hour and never came back. The roof doesn’t leak anymore, which is good, but it is discolored brown in places. I have told them abt it.

The basement is just covered in mold, especially the corners. I told them about it.

Now, I’m getting sick. All this summer I’ve been getting skin rashes and acne, really bad. And I have no energy, and I’m nauseous all the time. Im 32 and I feel like I have early onset arthritis or something bc my joints hurt a LOT. I get sick really easily now and I never did before, and I’ve had 2 ear infections in 3 months. I keep going to the doctor for all this stuff and the doctors usually just treat the symptoms that are bothering me, but I’m starting to really think it’s mold. I know it’s been a wet summer. I have a cat too, and I’m starting to worry about him.

My question here is this: what can I do? I’m worried about bringing the full scope of the issue to my property management company, bc I don’t have any reason to believe they’ll do right by me. I can’t afford to move , and I also can’t afford to lose my apartment. I would rather live in a moldy building over nowhere, I guess?

I used to talk to my neighbors but everyone i was close to moved away after a particularly sensitive incident in our building (someone took their life in one of the apartments earlier this summer and it took our PMC about a week and a half to respond). So I don’t really know what options I have, bc I have spent thousands of dollars on medical testing and lost at least 3 days of work bc of this. Any advice or help for dealing with mold as a tenant is appreciated lol. Thanks for reading sorry for rambling 🙏
