A beloved Kansas City family restaurant earned national acclaim on a popular makeover show but a year later the metro surge in violence has directly impacted their biz.
To wit . . .
TKC READER REPORT: KCK BAR SHOOTING GUNFIRE FORCES TEMP SHUT DOWN & LOCAL BBQ FANBOY REGRET!!!
Here's the word, photo proof and support for the beloved biz:
"You know - this place - Jones’s BBQ - is only open five days a week. They’ve worked hard and made the area a bit better. Now some a$$hat at the bar next door goes off and shoots someone preventing the cooks from having a safe place to work. This probably cuts 20-50% of their revenue for the week. These areas that are up and coming or being redone are going to die if great businesses like Jones’s BBQ find safer places to work. The location is part of this places charm but I’ll travel gladly drive to Olathe or Blue Springs or another suburb if Jone’s BBQ moves. Everyone should go there twice or more next week."
By all accounts the place will be back open Tuesday and BBQ fans across the nation highly recommend this place.

Rampant gunfire across KC.
ReplyDeleteThat sad news is that we're starting to hear more of it in Overland Park as well.
I blame KCMO spillover.
DeleteThe violence is out of control and it spreads to other parts of the area. If KC can't get their homicide rate together, then the entire area in trouble.
The whole area is already in trouble. Arm yourselves.
ReplyDeleteJust close the store.
ReplyDelete^^^ wrong. Great store, great family. They will survive the hard times because they work hard!
ReplyDeleteI blame all the increase in crime on black flight to the suburbs. The grown-ups are wanting a safer environment much like the white flight in the 60s. but they never taught those values to their children. Which is why some people you just cannot reach, So you get what we had here last week which is the way they want it so they get it we don't like it any more than they do!
ReplyDeleteCalling it a job don't make it right, boss.
DeleteTotally predictable. It's located in a Blackhole.

ReplyDeleteDue to shooting at bar???? Classy. But hey ya'll come back now. Ha Ha I don't think so!
That bar is a white biker trash bar.
ReplyDeleteYour city. Your crime. Your problem
ReplyDeleteThat bar is trash, trash, trash. Why'd you put your restaurant next to it?
ReplyDeleteDefund the black controlled city government and give the money to the police yeah!
ReplyDeleteTakisha Ford is a dumbass I wish she post where the rest of us do and f*** a bunch of superfan Dave.
ReplyDelete^^^^^^^^^^ They are on Facebook where creeps like you can't post anonymous. Sad part is you all are missing the really good shit Super Dave says. I love his Goofus Lucas thing.
ReplyDeleteLooks like they have been eating the profits.
ReplyDeleteClose the bar before someone gets shot and dies.
ReplyDeleteIf every business on the east side was forced to close because of murders or gunshots, there wouldn't be any businesses on the east side.
ReplyDeleteOh, there aren't?
Never mind!
My neighbor who is a KCPD Cop is fed up. She says the morale is SHIT and cops ain't gonna do jack-squat. I can't say I don't blame her or the Department. Let the ghettos take care of themselves.......
ReplyDeleteBLACK LIVES MATTER, BLACK LIVES MATTER!!!!!! not really....blacks don't care about black lives.
