You are a bunch of classless dunderheads in that Cheap Trick review: f#@&ing would have done the job. ALL WITNESS THE DECAY OF AMERICA !!!
Yeah, we have a pretty weak brew scene here. Part of the problem is that microbrew restaurants were illegal in MO until 1990 I think. I've always wondered why Boulevard doesn't open up a restaurant like Schlafly though. Anyway, McCoy's is a decent place but their beer sucks. Haven't been to the other TWO microbrews in the city. Well, I've been to Biersch and Granite City but they're both out of town crap.
So, I guess someone who actually does their homework should point out that it was not Travel + Leisure that made this proclamation, but readers of the magazine who rated 35 cities on a number of features and ultimately determined the ranked list with their votes. Crowdsourced lists like this are hardly ever truly accurate, but at the very least, this one speaks to the fact that people hold Kansas City in high regard in the beer world. Posting an article with a headline like this seems opportunistic and inflammatory for the sake of being inflammatory. Do better.
Craft beer fans - and Kansas political news fans - should go on the iTunes and look up Sunflower Brew. It's a podcast where Kansas politics is discussed over a craft beer.

Who really goes to an airport for fine dining and high end gift shops?? Get me on and off the plane as quickly and with as little hassle as possible. I travel extensively for work and live in the KC area and even if i park in the KCI Economy parking lot i know that once i step off the plane with my carry on, i will be in my car in about 20 min or less. @justmywords----What exactly is it about KCI that doesnt work??

I think an address may have helped with this article.
For all the lip service about security and enhancing the customer experience, it's ultimately about squeezing more dollars out of passengers on their way through.
Most airports today are shopping malls with planes parked out back. The reason KCI feels old-fashioned is that it was designed to take you from curb to plane as quickly as possible. I guarantee you the new design will make sure passengers have to walk past as many shops as possible.
My only gripe about the airport is that it's too far out of town. I'd rather see money spent on a light rail system linking the airport with downtown.
A BILLION DOLLARS Yikess! On something that does not need to be done at all! This is a resume' stuffer idea. Air travel get more expensive every year = less who want to use it.
NO BILLION DOLLAR BOON DOGLE THANK YOU.
im still out done!! Nasty and desperate poor excuse for a man - from Chrisean
Nonsense.
The layout at KCI as it is now not only works but nearly everyone who uses it--whether a lot or a little--like it and like its convenience and accessibility.
There's no reason in the world we can't take Terminal B, make it the security clearance terminal, as either wanted or needed, and then run enclosed walkways out to Terminals A and C, thereby getting everything needed--security, convenience, additional concessions (if they come) and cost savings. To a) throw away an airport and then b) build an extremely costly new one is both financially and environmentally irresponsible to the point of stupid.

JustMyWords hit it dead on the head. I'd love to hang out at the concessions prior to the gate but I won't because the expense and the risk of missing my flight is greater if I'm on that side of the glass. It's just not worth it.
Decent sushi? Kokoro Maki is the best most affordable sushi in the stretch from Waldo to downtown. My personal opinion.

I loved this show, thanks for writing about it!
Hi Charles! Delighted Kokoro is getting the shout out it deserves. But I miscounted — there's also Korea House at 888 Market. It's really just a lunch stand in the very large Asian supermarket but their food (especially stews) is solid and they make their own kimchi and banchan, which they also sell.
Copeland's.
Baliff, whack their peepees!
Excelsior Springs is so pround of Courtney's accomplishments
Re: “Soundgarden's sludgy sound, last night at the Midland (review)”
My take was that the sound and lighting were designed for a much bigger venue. The sound engineering made them unintelligible. I'm not sure what was up with the 5 minutes of feedback at the end. One of the strangest things I had ever seen at a concert.
