%{}% The Kansas City Star’s editorial board sounded its unhappiness Tuesday with the Kansas City, Missouri, Aviation Department. The department that manages the city’s two airports got caught handing the daily paper an incomplete list of who receives free parking at Kansas City International Airport. A September 11 editorial in the paper charged that the Aviation Department had no policy regarding the…
%{}% Should three unoccupied apartment buildings near the Country Club Plaza get demolished, the way the owner of the property wants? Or should those buildings, a part of Kansas City’s architectural heritage, receive a historical designation to allow for more deliberation before their remnants get hauled away? That question, which has simmered all summer, now goes to the City Plan…
%{}% In support of her forthcoming full-length album Revival (due out Friday, October 9), Selena Gomez — international pop star and vetted BFF of Taylor Swift — has just announced a North American tour in 2016. Gomez stops in Kansas City at the Sprint Center on Friday, July 1. Tickets go on sale Friday, October 17. Details here. Categories: Music Tags:…
%{}% The future of local arts organization Charlotte Street Foundation has been a bit murky since the departure of founder David Hughes in 2013, and artistic director Kate Hackman in 2014. Last week came word that Julie Dalgleish, brought in to succeed Hughes as executive director, is already on her way out the door. She’s being replaced by Amy Kligman,…
%{}% One of Kansas City’s best-loved bartenders, Jenn Tosatto — formerly with the Rieger Hotel Grill & Exchange — is a blond-mohawked whirlwind behind the sleek gray bar bar at the new Dempsey’s Burger Pub at 4120 Pennsylvania. She says the hair color is temporary (“I’m going back to red hair as soon as I can”), but the job —…
%{}% White flight is so deeply stitched into the fabric of Kansas City that they almost made a museum out of it a few years back. Census numbers indicate that between 1990 and 2000, about 28,000 whites left Kansas City, Missouri. Between 2000 and 2010, another 2,200 left the city. But data in the Census Bureau’s recently released American Community…
%{}% Seth Shaver is not from Kansas City. You can hear it in his voice, in the way the rounded vowels of his native Iowa draw themselves out, a memento of his years in South Dakota. Nor is the American Restaurant’s head bartender a longtime maker of craft cocktails, though that relative lack of experience isn’t something your senses tell…
%{}% If a theme emerges among September’s restaurant openings and closings, it is deja vu. Take, for example, the return of Papa Keno’s Pizzeria to Westport. Co-owner David Hawley and managing partner Tyler Parker revived the popular pizzeria inside its original site at 415 Westport Road after a seven-year sabbatical. In the years between the 2008 closing and last month’s reopening, the…
We scoured the web for the finest local visuals for your eyes, and September’s video selection is a split down the middle of both astonishingly cool live videos from the likes of Sterling Witt and Josh Berwanger and dope-as-hell music videos from rappers Tre Tha Lyric and Tux. It’s this month’s Cine Local, and we can guarantee they’ll live up to…
