TKC BREAKING NEWS!!! MISGUIDED NEW CROWN CENTER POLICY KICKS KIDS OUT OF THE FOUNTAINS AND ENDS A KANSAS CITY SUMMER TRADITION!!!



Crown Center corporate policy strikes again . . .

To wit and thanks to AWESOME TKC TIPSTERS . . .

CROWN CENTER IS RUINING A KANSAS CITY SUMMER TRADITION BY KICKING KIDS OUT OF THE FOUNTAINS!!!

This is a local summer tradition and the corporate marketing presser doesn't make a good case . . . Through the outbreak of so many new diseases and viruses over the years kids have kept playing in these fountains with no problems. This is horrible Kansas City corporate policy at its worst.

Check it:

New policy for Crown Center Square Fountain

This summer we've seen a dramatic increase in the number of visitors to Crown Center . There are now more family-oriented things to see and do in the Crown Center District than ever before. As a result, this area is now a true hub for families from throughout Kansas City and the region to spend time together, and we couldn't be happier about that.

With the large crowds, however, has come a growing concern about the safety of adults and children playing in the Crown Center Square Fountain. The increase in visitors also increases the potential for accidents, or for exposure to water-borne health issues in a facility that was never designed or intended to be a public pool.

That's why, effective immediately, people will no longer be allowed in the Crown Center Square Fountain . We know this will disappoint many people who have enjoyed a run through the fountains on a hot summer day, but guest safety is our utmost concern. Crown Center Security will ask anyone stepping into the fountain to move to nearby dry areas.

The fountain will continue to operate, and will continue to offer periodic programmed water displays with music recorded by the Kansas City Symphony, so visitors can still enjoy the fountains - just not run through them anymore.

    Stupid asshats: Chlorine kills bacteria. That water is chock full of chlorine!

    Another move to get rid of the black and Hispanic children that use the Crown Center as their only respite from the summer heat and a terrible economy.

    Thanks for keeping it "white" down there.

    Fail.

      Weird a racist comment blaming whitey. I love it. White man's fault cause they don't allow people to not use the fountains as a water park. Why don't you start up your sprinkler and let the kids play in your yard.

    If you could charge people to play in the fountains then that would also eliminate the target group - poor minorities. But rather than make it a financial issue they are making it a health issue (with an insurance liability added in on top of it, for "extra protection"). TOTAL BS - they are getting rid of the "black blight" and that is plain to anyone with eyes to see it.

    The city is already responsible for paying their medical bills, why should they be responsible for washing their kids too? It isn't white peoples fault their homes are too dirty to take a shower in.

    I have heard that are these things called public swimming pools and spray grounds, built with tens of millions of dollars provided by the taxpayers of Kansas City, that are fully staffed and operated by the City for water recreation.

    Maybe the poor black and Hispanic children could use those?

    For years and years there have been stenciled notices on the stones surrounding the fountains instructing people to stay out. This isn't a new policy, they're just finally enforcing the old one. It sucks but I don't blame them a bit. It's amazing they haven't been sued to the point of having to turn it off completely. There's a nice public pool in Gillham Park less than 2 miles up the road.

    Since P&L was built with hundreds of millions in taxpayer subsidies and continues to suck down a cool $12 million a year from the general fund, I think the City should require Cordish to provide free access for City residents to The Jones.

    They also are said to have a wonderful watermelon mojito and the best DJ's in the country. All the baby's mamas would be sure to enjoy.

    That kinda sucks. All kinds of kids go play in the fountains. It's in the middle of Midtown and the Westside. It don't get more diverse than that. The fountains are a better time than a public pool to a 5 year old. Your anonymous racists can look me up. You are the reason that we fuck each other over. And I will continue to do so. Thank you.

    In todays "Sue em if your coffee is hot" society, I'm shocked it's taken this long. Correct me if Im wrong, and I may be, but Crown Center is a private owned business, it isn't city property. If that's the case, it is their right to protect themselves from legal action when some kid splits his melon and momma sues the ass off of them. Hard as it is for some people to accept, private business isn't required to cater to your whims. The outrage over a private businesses decision just shows how self entitled most of you morons have become. If you dont like the decision, dont shop there.

If you are that torn up about it, then do what my brother & sisters had to do. Go out in your OWN YARD, TURN ON YOUR GARDEN HOSE, and play in your OWN WATER. No matter how you feel about it, the fountain is private property and your opinion does not pay the bills

    Just a thought here. I always thought that the Crown Center fountains were built specifically for people (and kids) to run through.

    If you were going to build run-through fountains, how could you possibly build them any differently?

    How is a policy that effects all races possibly seen as racist? If they came out with a policy that said "only white people allowed in fountains" then I'd understand and say that shouldn't be allowed. When did holding everyone to the same rules become racists? They don't want to be sued by any race, I get it. Any private organization that has any rules or requires their guests to dress and act a certain way are labeled racists in this city. If the rules and policies are the same for everyone, that's called equality

    If you look in your public parks rules and regulation it's technically a violation of city ordinance to enter into a fountain. But it makes more sense to get all upset over race baiting and lack of common sense in regard to basic sanitation and general health and well being of the public. If you want a free place to have your kids play in the water go to home depot get a cheap sprinkler and have the kids go at it in your yard on your own bill. Not a private business who you would sue if one of your nose miners got sick or injured.
