The demise of retail and light manufacturing leaves an impact in Kansas City and this part of town endures a great many empty buildings that evoke a sense of KCMO desolation. Take a look:
Commercial blight frustrates neighbors in south Kansas City
Outside a restaurant that has sat vacant for years, dozens of south Kansas City residents gathered to voice their frustration and anger about blight in their community. The residents said they "feel forgotten" and blame the city for "ignoring their community."
"I believe it is an equity issue, I do," resident Karry Palmer said. "I think this would never happen in certain areas of the city."
ReplyDeleteThere's that buzz word equity rearing its ugly head again. In the context of this article, it means "give us free stuff too."
But he's right that multiple commercial vacancies would never happen in certain areas of the city. Those certain areas being the ones that aren't so plagued by rampant crime as Mr. Palmer's area.
Good luck. That area is has been forgotten by every mayor since Cleaver. And my guess QL isn't going to do anything either.
ReplyDeleteIt's in no man's land. Sandwiched between Kansas City, Raytown, Grandview and close to Lee's Summit. A big indicator of that area's downfall was when O'Hara High School shut down. Another building that will rot until you see a story about it ten years from now.
The owners of these abandoned commercial property's are enjoying golf somewhere that we do know.
ReplyDelete...and regretting the decision they made years ago to build in areas that would eventually be infested by negroes. That's the real issue. It always is.
ReplyDeleteHow do we get rid of them?
@10:34. Also there's a muslim presence there too. Many live in the apartments or town homes in that area.
ReplyDeleteBad combination. You will never see anything build in that area worth a damn.
Yes I would recommend their extermination as well.
DeleteNo Byron, as long as there are humans willing to stand up against the vermin ruining the world, we will not be silent.
Die in a fire.
^^Can we get rid of you two?
ReplyDeleteByron, your a fag. You always were a fag and your always will be a fag. If you don't like it when people call you call you a fag then stop acting like a fag. But you can't because your the biggest fag here.
ReplyDeleteThanks for chiming in you two bit fag.
Gee, @11:00 you say "Fag" like it's a bad thing!
ReplyDeleteWhat are you afraid of, hmmmm?
Feeling some suppressed urges that frighten you?
Shame you've had to suffer this self-hatred all your life!
Yeah if we did a mass extermination of fags, negroes and muzzies what a wonderful, peaceful, prosperous world we'd have, am I right?
ReplyDeleteAnd Byron too. Yes you can join them.
The mooselimbs have their own wic and food stamp place right across the street, they put a crescent moon right on the sign, unfuckinbelievable.
ReplyDeleteYou can’t have a business where the koloreds live, it’s impossible, they steal and rob everything and everybody, just the insurance alone is astronomical.
ReplyDeleteDer Fuhrer Funkhouser
ReplyDeleteWe can’t get rid of you so......
And you have no business being here.
Years back the city pushed a number of things out of Hickman Mills drive with the threat of eminent domain, for an office park that never was, dont tell me you cant do anything.
ReplyDeleteBacala's previous job - spokesman for Hickman Mills School District. Plenty of expertise shoveling b.s.
The funny thing is I remember John Bacala was a horrible sports caster, at horrible K2Q in St. Joe. Now he's the PR man for south Kansas City.
ReplyDeleteI guess if you suck at your job in TV just go to PR or radio. Just ask Bonyen Lee, Hallie Shulman or Dana Wright.
What's wrong Byron? Can't find anyone near where you live to pay attention to you? Is this the only blog you can get on?
ReplyDeleteGood location for a county jail
ReplyDeleteThat's actually a good idea
DeleteMAGA, MAGA, MAGA - the economy is really booming now.
ReplyDeletePlease stop, we are winning too much!
