Kansas City Hipsters Move First Friday To West Bottoms After Deadly Shooting?!?!

Tonight, for our most loyal bloggy denizens, we share a quick observation . . .

Kansas City hipsters, scenesters, poseurs, Instagram white women and all manner of assorted scumbags seem to be moving the better First Friday party to the West Bottoms given that festivities in the Crossroads will be forever tainted by the tragic shooting of a local teacher who was killed by a stray bullet.

 Let's take a moment to explain this eternal game of cat & mouse . . .

First and foremost, this move is inspired by a bevy of real estate speculation over the past few years. West Bottoms has constantly garnered public subsidy and assorted schemes to convert the nearly abandoned old school warehouse district into a party mecca. This plan FAILED in the 1970s but a new round of speculators have bet millions worth of investor dollars & taxpayer bucks to try the gambit yet again.

But more interestingly . . .

It's clear that the Crossroads ruined First Friday as the progressive artsy party angered longtime residents and the creative class by turning the event into free-for-all urban extravaganza rather than the quaint art walk imagined by hipsters throughout the nation. 

Street-racers and low-end urban gangsters spoiled the party and left an innocent person dead in the aftermath.

And so we start the ritual search for consenting white ladies with blessedly loose morals YET AGAIN in a slightly new locale. 

Don't worry, we all know the outcome will be the same because of endemic Kansas City violence. 

The fun part will be watching more than a few suckers plunk down their life savings in order to invest in the party.
