Rising Downtown Kansas City Crime Shuts Down 'Cashless' Biz

Without question crime is getting worse in and around downtown Kansas City. 

With the help of the BEST & BRIGHTEST TKC READERS it's important to point out one example out of many.

We talked about the embattled small eatery earlier in the month and hoped that digital tech would assist their survival.

WHEN/WHERE DOES THIS SPATE OF RISING KANSAS CITY CRIME END?!?!

KCMO has invested hundreds of millions in the streetcar but that doesn't seem to be helping.

This location is right in the middle of an EPIC real estate boom and developers are plunking down EPIC CASH to invest in this area.
