Followup from Internets fanboy content about a glorified toy train wifi network that created a bit of faux social media conversation that I'm pretty sure was a product of all the "tech" (i.e. professional PR tweeters) consultants Mayor Sly has on his payroll.
Description:
"Computerworld presents this look at the KC Streetcar project, which not only is connecting parts of the Kansas City, Mo., area, but also attracting new development, residents and a multitude of data for city officials."
Take a look at the Internets video that's mostly floundering on Youtube which proves that so man KC social media consultants were pushing this story harder than that Phase II failed toy train extension:

Don't fret. This thing is totally going to save KCMO. Just wait, and wait and wait and wait and wait some more once the training is complete at the end of 2016.
ReplyDeleteAnd you'll see!
AND, the streetcar is the real reason the Pope visited the US for he first time!
ReplyDeleteAnd the reason the leaves are turning color.
In fact, there's NOTHING that can't be claimed for this comical fiasco.
Frosty.
Toot toot, here it comes!
ReplyDeleteLie on the tracks if it makes you feel better.
That damn funny "TOY TRAIN" term should establish you as regular on Ruckus.
Really hard to believe the public policy strategy of endless whining has not worked for you.
More to bitch about later. Plus, here comes the marathon. Did you know aerobic exercise is actually not healthy?
Toot toot.
Tony's been on Ruckus. Where have YOU been?
ReplyDeleteYes, we should all look forward to giving as much of our personal data to folks like the Think Big guy who made a killing working closely with the payday loan gangs who were just indicted for stealing from hundreds of people whose account information they stole. Why would anyone want to know more and faster about how KCMO city government operates? It's best to watch the whole fiasco unfold in slow motion.
ReplyDelete62 Million a mile.
ReplyDeleteI love it when they say "the wifi will be free" .... dumb-ass. We've already paid more than 100,000,000...
At one point is anything free?
Once the train and hotel gets built and the convention business doesn't increase look for another expansion of Bartle.
ReplyDeleteLet's just all pray that the 15 second sound bed, (all perky brass riffs) they used ad nauseum on their rah rah video is not played on the Toy Trains. Perhaps its something Rick Usher from City Hall (a character on the video) suggested, that he loves from a favorite porn video: "Sly Does KC XXX"
ReplyDeleteA true waste of money. Is the street car an art obect?
ReplyDeleteUsher has the depth of a pot hole.
ReplyDeleteAnd, Tony will not like the color of the seats, either.
And NO ONE will care.
Those last 2 pictures are really an artists rendering of what downtown CK will look like in 10 years after Sly has spent everything and promised enough to bankrupt the next 2 generations. But at least we will have nice sewers.
