The proposed ballot language from the political action committee would…
%{}% %{}% Big Lead Sports It was a dance number. No doubt about it. Early in the third quarter, Justin Houston scooped up an apparent fumble by the Pittsburgh Steelers backup quarterback Byron Leftwich and rumbled in for a score that put the Kansas City Chiefs ahead 16-10. Houston broke the plane and then broke one off. And like Lee…
Facebook: Smokey’s on the Blvd. The ribs are in the smoker. If you can smoke meat here, you can smoke meat anywhere. Smokey’s on the Blvd., a joint effort from Rob Harris and his son, Jason, has thrown its hickory in the ring. The father-son duo opened their barbecue joint last month at 14521 Metcalf in the Lionsgate Marketplace. The…

Leslie Hindman There are auction houses in Kansas City, but none with the national presence of Chicago’s Leslie Hindman Auctioneers. But as soon as next year, Hindman tells The Pitch, there could be a Kansas City outpost of her business. “We’re very serious about opening a Kansas City office in 2013,” says Hindman, who opened a Sotheby’s in Chicago 34…

Leslie Hindsman Auctioneer Andy Warhol’s Cartier tank watch was one of the David Stickelber treasures auctioned in Chicago last week.

Snyder is a septuagenarian terminator sent from the future to win football games. A Kansas team is once again ranked first in the nation. The only difference is that this time it’s Kansas State sitting atop the BCS standings. The number one ranking is a testament to head coach Bill Snyder’s singular focus. There is no room for pageantry or…
He knows we’d love to see him. Back in October, sad bastard-charming man Morrissey postponed his U.S. tour in order to tend to his mother, who was in poor health. No big deal around here, as the Pope of Mope hadn’t deigned to appear in either KC or Lawrence. Yesterday, though, Morrissey rescheduled those dates and added some new ones,…

Anton’s Taproom has a great menu. It’s just not fully operational yet. I’ve never seen a menu quite like the one currently being handed to patrons at Anton’s Taproom, the saloon, butcher shop and restaurant (and art gallery, I suppose) that restaurateur Anton Kotar opened last month at 1610 Main, in the 19th-century building last occupied by Daddy’s Lounge, a…
With his slow Queens drawl, high forehead and even higher hair, Christopher Walken has never been anything less than distinct. But in a career that spans (according to IMDB) 121 TV and movie appearances, the Oscar winner is most widely known for a specialty portfolio of volatile antagonists, unhinged protagonists and generally obsessive types (one of whom memorably keeps demanding…
Flickr: juhansonin Missouri and Kansas won’t be setting up their own exchanges. Missouri and Kansas aren’t going to be picking up the phone this week to tell the federal government that they intend to establish a state-run health insurance exchange program. Gov. Sam Brownback issued a statement yesterday that he won’t support submitting an application by the November 16 deadline…
Foodspotting The polenta fries at Urban Table might make you rethink fries. French fries (or freedom fries as they are known to Toby Keith) come from nearly ever corner of the vegetable aisle these days.

The almond nut butter sandwich at Little Freshie. Work is piling up, and noon has long come and gone, and you know that lunch will be something scavenged from a vending machine or a drive-through window. Little Freshie (811 W. 17th St.) wants to rid the world of those moments. The soda, coffee and snow-cone shop on the West Side…
