A REPLY REGARDING THE PRAIRIE VILLAGE X-MAS DISPLAY BAN
Well it appears the Prairie Village POLICE department is going to decide who gets to do what for the Christmas holidays. As I read the ordinance if the Police Chief or any officer hates Christmas you are in deep trouble. Yes it appears that Christmas is canceled in Prairie Village because the ordinance is so vague in so many areas of what a resident can’t and can do anymore. As well, what they can charge you is very vague so hope you have deep pockets because it could be costly. In short it appears the ordinance was written in such a matter that it is going to be such an ordeal to do people will just not do so. So many will just not do anything I am guessing and even if you think it isn't too much as I said if the police department has it in for you they will shut you down. Oh you can appeal it and they have it set up so that by the time you may get an appeal the holidays and your holiday cheer will be gone.
But wait it gets better. This ordinance that is supposed to be about the protection of the people and property as they would want you to believe includes Halloween as well. In fact is in effect all year long so careful out there in your holiday planning of any kind.
Now I guess if you want to do an awesome holiday display and show it for no more than 5 days you can knock yourself out and do that with no issues.
So it appears the city police department maybe is more behind this ordinance than anyone else. So next time you see Chief Jordon be sure and thank him for taking a good part of your holiday cheer away. Some displays have become a holiday tradition that has been in some families for over forty years just might not be around anymore.
It appears a few residents of Prairie Village are upset with the new ordinance but I am willing to bet in the end they will not unite and do anything about it. That’s the problem now days our government just keeps taking away our rights and abilities to do things and everybody just sits around and does nothing.
So I ask are the people of Prairie Village this time going to let Christmas be dictated as to how it will be celebrated by them by the leaders of Prairie Village?
The ball is in your court my friends.

Good stuff. Well written.
Bigger than Watergate
"Our Own" who's our?
Our is Tony's imaginary readership.
Tony makes Wiki leaks look like kindergarten kids.
Groundbreaking! Investigative!
Burp
We'll shiverrrr meeeee timberssss
Keep it above the belt now!
D-
Like we need to build more Data Centers to store this shit?
Actually, I think Dave's article is very insightful and makes an excellent point. This legislation is needless and SOB is right as well. We should hold our elected officials accountable in KC and the suburbs.
We shoulda, woulda, coulda hold our elected officials . . . DEVELOPING!
The format of this website changes with my mood. And just like Martha says, "That's a good thing." She says that and then yells something like, "Get my goddamn lawyer on the line!"
Christmas was invented by capitalists to give morons something to do besides rioting in the streets and complaining about the elitists.
Ho ho ho! HO? HO! HAHAHAHA HO'S!
Fucking Obama and the ACLU are gonna wipe Christmas off the calendar anyway. They'll replace it with Barackumas or something like that. Lights will only be allowed if they are solar or wind powered. And any wise men in the display have to be at least half black.
They're coming to take us they are they are they're coming to take us they are.
Rumor in PV is that Babick is buying a house near Superdave and planning on keeping the tradition going using donations that Dave will be in charge of collecting. A solution with which we are all happy.
I am so tired of Christmas and the Christians that believe it in should be tired of it too. That's what happens when you let the market run away with your mythology.
Looking for a councilman/woman yea or nay on this. PV website seems to have "misplaced" the meeting minutes on thier website.
More open meetings violations in Kansas obviously
This is what happens when politicians loose grasp on what is going on in the real world
I've had a few disagreements with him before but I wanted to say that Super Dave did a really nice job with this. On this one, we agree completely.
Nice job Super Dave!
It sometimes takes couple three days to get minutes posted to the website. I have the ordinance itself as was written to be approved if enough want it I will see if Tony wants to post it.
It is sort of hard to find.
Obviously, Prairie Village doesn't have much crime over there. Maybe the black kids from the hood can come over on Friday night and stir up some shit in the PV shopping center! Or trash Shawnee Mission East.
Holy Santa Claus, Batman! Its an attack on Christmas. Not really, Robin. Its just a village trying to get a handle on lighting displays.
Mr. Tony,
Oh for freaking sakes!! The crappy display does suck! It is very poorly laid out and too loud for enjoyment. There isn't enough space on the block much less this absurd man's tiny yard to host anything but a blow up Mr. Dithers in Santa gear bought from Big Lots. The man himself dresses like a freakish elfin clown and I hate Clowns! Bless his heart, he doesn't even know that he is very pedestrian and unimaginative.
He is asked to repay for using city services... so? He spends a whole lot on green and red garbage, he should send a little cash over to the local police. The police department has to patrol and do crowd control on the public dime.
Mr. Tony, the Star reported that this stupid man stores his stuff in a warehouse in the West Bottoms... Why can't the poor dear just set up shop there? The hobos would like the twinkly trash.
What a pair!
