  1. Great Idea - let's rename MLK Boulevard "MONAE STREET" to honor Janelle, someone who has actually set foot in this town.

  9. Street names are just a representation of the heteronormative patriarchy. I’d say just name all streets after letters but the Latin alphabet is inherently racist and sexist, as is math, so numbers are out. It’s a truly unjust world when 2 + 2 = 4.

  10. ^^Ugh huh...hey pops you've got Matlock on!!!

  11. Hope when they rename MLK "Monae Street" nobody confuses it with "Money Street", that's what its called now by the King Family.

    How much do we have to pay them each year, has anyone uncovered this?

    ReplyDelete
  12. ^^No because we don't care. Only pants-shitting goons like you care, and you don't count for shit around here. Do your own work!

  13. 'Sprint sold its Overland Park campus for $250.9 million - tens of millions of dollars below Johnson County's appraised value of $342.5 million.'

    Estimated construction cost of $700 million. New York Times 1998.

    Overland Park issued $1 billion in revenue bonds in 1997 for this place. The abatement expired in 2013.

    Quite a deal.

  14. Does "appraised value" for Johnson County, or Jackson County, or anywhere have meaning for market value anymore?
