The Village of Loch Lloyd seems impervious to the pain others are suffering due to $4-a-gallon gas and falling home prices. Developers of the gated community in northern Cass County recently announced that Tom Watson will redesign the golf course and add new holes. More fairways mean more ostentatious houses; the developers say Watson’s work will open up 220 residential lots in a neighborhood where home prices reportedly range from $400,000 to $7 million.
The Department of Burnt Ends admits to being fascinated with Loch Lloyd and the inordinate number of interesting people who have pursued the good life behind its gates. At one time, Loch Lloyd was home to two people under federal indictment and a woman running for Congress.
Loch Lloyd was founded by an audacious man. Before his death in 1997, Harry Lloyd lorded over a Grandview-based multilevel marketing company that sold toys and gifts via a network of Tupperware-style home demonstrators. A giver to evangelistic causes, Lloyd once invited a Kansas City Star reporter to watch him pray to his statue of a tough-looking Jesus, noting, “He was a carpenter. He was a real man!”
Here’s the closest the Department of Burnt Ends might ever come to producing its own, Hollywood-like map of current and former celebrity homes.

Yes...it always seems that just because you make a lot of money and live in a nice gated community that automatically makes you evil in the eyes of those less fortunate and liberal pricks like the folks here at the Pitch. While I'm not anywhere near those folks, I bust my ass to make a good living for myself and my family. I live in a $230,000 house in Johnson County. Now automatically that makes me a Bimmer driving yuppie to these people. I'm a blue collar worker who spends 4 nights a week on an ambulance picking ujp drunks from street corners in every park of the city, responding to or hearing dispatched multiple shootings and assaults a day. I live in Johnson County and those folks live in Lock Lloyd to get away from that, because they can afford to and work hard to be able to. For those of you who mock these people, I would be interested to see what would happen if you had that kind of money given to you. Would you stay in your ramshackle abode in midtown? Or would you move into a nice safe big house somewhere else? I'll be I know the answer...

All I can say is WOW!
It is sad how jealous you seem of people who work hard to earn money. Yes, there are always a few bad eggs in any group that you make no shame in pointing out. BUT you never look at the positive these people do. For example, how many charitable golf tournaments has that neighborhood hosted? And how many people that live there own or found companies that employ a lot of people in the Kansas City area? I want to ask you what good have you done to help your city out? It seems that you are a narcissist that would rather complain about other people�s success rather than help out the people of your city.
