I went to this game last night and it was one of the best hockey games I've ever been to. The boys battled hard, especially during a crazy 2nd period.

Hi all! My wife and I may be considering moving to Kansas City this year. Why should we? Why shouldn’t we? What makes Kansas City special? What are it’s pros and cons? Thanks for any information.

I really like Laura Kelly's takes here; glad to see that the looming water crisis, education crisis, and rural hospital shutdowns are taking center stage in her budget. Hopefully the Republicans are willing to support these measures as well, and even better if they drop the idiotic flat-tax proposal and school vouchers proposal they put forward perennially at this point...

I'm bumming around on Google maps and saw this. Is it used much? Is it planned to shut down? Seems like it's a pain for everyone that has to put up with the noise.

If it were rewritten what would it be about? Would it still be a crazy way of lovin' and Kansas City wine?

Saw this thread and it reminded me of something I found lacking in most areas. I went to Raytown Rec or whatever poolhall back in the day. What's the thing now?

I do Arthur Bryant's most often but I do like looking at what other people recommend.

See some art? Hear some music? What's going on?

I hope this comes to fruition, it has so much potential.

Is it really still closed or are all the internets confused?

Anyone have any tips on good places to view this outside of the metro area? I live in Olathe and have tried the area around Hillsdale Lake before which was alright, but still had quite a bit of glow in the horizon.

There's a couple missing on this list, one I'd recommend is International Tap House - Crossroads. It's free and the winning team/s get free beer and other items.

It’s hard to pin an exact number, but throughout western Kansas’s ~400 mi slog to Colorado, I was forced to view semi trailers with trump’s visage printed on the side, hilariously corny White Jesus signs, and Anti-Abortion signs approximately every ten miles.

I found it so disheartening, knowing that someone went through the effort of painting a semi trailer with Trump’s face on it and planting it right next to the interstate.

What does this accomplish? Who’s vote is being swayed by this garish tribute?

I have seen endless discussions online about Trump fans being culty, but this (apart from the coal rollers with flags) is the first time I’ve seen this type of undying loyalty in the wild.

The Jesus and anti-abortion signs are painful, but nowhere near as painful as these Trump shrines.

I am interested in the opinions of anybody, regardless of political affiliation. What do you think of this?

Also, I’m sorry I didn’t get a picture. I feel like the guy that claims he saw a UFO but has nothing to show for it. If anyone is driving through Kansas on their way to Colorado or vice Versa, PLEASE try and snag a picture of these Jesus signs and Trump trailers, so that people can properly contextualize this post.
