Let's stop trying to be something we are not. We are not New York. Embrace our hick roots. We are a Midwestern city. Let’s stop trying to be something we are not. We are not New York.

That's an entirely different project that someone else is trying to do... not related to P&L or the NASCAR Cafe at all. Here is a picture of what the P&L District replaced. I don't see anything in that picture that contradicts what I said. The wig shop and Jake Edwards are not part of the Power & Light District.

And Kyle...maybe your own sensibilities about your own background are leading you to defend hillbillies, rubes and other bumpkins, but my comment in no way references them. That's a connection you obviously are compelled to self-consciously make. I looked out the window at Jake Edwards's BBQ and wondered what national chain would be using TIF money to locate there. I even looked in the wig store next door, a place that serves enough customers to keep about half a dozen people employed, and I wondered who considers their market segment insignificant enough to boot out. My comment about our town's idiotic choices are not about hillbillies, or populations of which "people" like Scooter might seem comfortable judging. My comment is about our ongoing inability to cherish local flavor and local business. Scooter, you don’t know the places of which you speak.

Maybe one of the wig/beauty shops? Or perhaps Bruno's Bail Bonds? All symbols of Kansas City's wonderful downtown for sure, damn those NASCAR hillbillies for wanting to put in a place that would actually attract people other than criminals.

Oh and acres upon acres of surface parking lots.
