Scooter says there IS downtown parking . . . All you have to do is believe it!!!
He drew a map with colors and dots on it so there must be downtown parking!!!
Here is hoping that he hasn't come down with heat stroke or he has finally walked far enough away from whatever is chasing him.
For a more realistic view check out my monster, epic polemic in which I point out that parking is going to be one of the many problems that kills the so-called downtown renaissance that wasn't going to happen anyway.
Thing of it is . . . This kind of hobbyist approach to real problems that are facing downtown is what makes places like the KC Rag Forum so dangerous . . . Parking is a problem, it's a problem that City officials are scurrying about trying to fix at his very moment but downtown cheerleaders who get a little publicity for their feel good civic efforts can't see anything but their own child-like belief that everything will work out if we just believe . . . Just like the biking crowd in this town Scooter's efforts and uninformed rhetoric represent everything wrong with KC Proper from white people who can (and have) easily pick up and move if anything ever gets too thick. At best, both the biking crowd and Scooter are guilty of willful ignorance of the real problems that face Kansas City (Crime and real estate speculation) and there is mounting evidence to suggest that their feel good and inconsequential contribution to civic involvement has misplaced the priorities of the local blogoshpere and has thusly put responsibility for every unsolved homicide on the Eastside on their heads.
Sure, the "Stop Snitchin" movement is bad but Scooter's misplaced priorities for Kansas City are even worse.

ReplyDeleteI've given you documented proof that there are thousands of parking spaces readily available.
ReplyDeleteYou flap on and on and on about this so called parking crisis of epic proportions yet have not produced ONE SHRED of evidence supporting it.
So far all you have done is link to your own tired tomes as your only documentation of this nonexistent problem.
Where is the evidence???????
Dowtown at 3:00 p.m. on a weekday is where my evidence is . . . It's practical and not made up like yours.
ReplyDeleteThere is no question in my mind that Scooter is somehow responsible for EVERY Eastside murder!!!
ReplyDeleteWhat do you see at 3:00, Tony?
ReplyDeleteWhen I look out my window around that time of day, I see multistory garages only half filled and east-loop surface lots about 3/4 full. I see streets with only about half the metered spots filled up and empty spaces in the blocklong strip of free parking near my office.
And what does 3:00 in the afternoon have to do with events at 7:00???
You're going way off the deep end on this one.
(And yes, I did it. I killed all those people and singlehandedly put Funk in office. I hand-dug every pothole, created all the litter, put all the junk cars on Tony's lawn, splashed turpentine on the paintman, scared all the white people away, and founded Johnson County.)
Pictures are it didn't happen!
ReplyDeletewith all your imaginary parking Scooterj. What is the total of these imaginary parking spaces you came up with?

Here's an abridged version of this post:
ReplyDeleterabble rabble white people evil rabble rabble rabble bikes, suburb rabble rabble.
I agree with Scoot. I work downtown and I park in the same garage every day...because I pay a monthly fee to do so.
ReplyDeleteIs that really the issue here, Tony and "paint"? Are you bitching about the lack of FREE parking? Show many any city that provides acres and acres of downtown real estate for free parking.
And, even the garage that I pay to park in is wide open and free to the public on the weekends.
Plus, there are two gigantic new garages being built smack in the middle of the the entertainment district.
Unless you're trying to park ZZ Top's tour bus, there is no parking crisis downtown.
Okay. I get it. You're being ironic. That's the only explanation.
ReplyDeleteOtherwise, you're clinically insane.
what's the total number on these so called parking spaces?
ReplyDeletepaint - why would I bother counting something that I don't have any trouble finding?
ReplyDeleteWhat is YOUR count on the negative side that you think needs to be there and aren't?
Again, are you whining and bitching about the lack of FREE parking?
Because there is a virtual plethora of paid parking spaces available.
What, exactly, is your complaint, paintman?
How many parking spaces do you think exist today?
How many parking spaces do you think we need tomorrow?
Why do you think we need that many?
What are YOU doing to correct your percieved "problem" besides whining and crying?
You know what they should do? Bulldoze those dumpy old houses to the west of 35 and put in a big covered parking garage.
ReplyDeleteAlso, have you ever left KC and went to a sporting event in another town?
I left KC once and went to Buckner. HOLY SHIT TALK ABOUT PARKING. THEY GOT PARKING LIKE NOBODY ELSE! If KC was to host Earth Day, the Olympics, and a pope visit, all on a Tuesday in October? WHERE WOULD PEOPLE PARK?
ReplyDeleteIF BUCKNER CAN DO IT, WHY CAN'T KC?
