We have had several problems on our block with little response from the police. My boyfriend's rims and tires were stolen two months ago right off the street, and the police said they could do nothing and wouldn't even come to the scene of the crime. I'd like to help get more police patrols in our area. I also believe that the crime in our area is ignored and pushed under the rug so as to not scare the customers shopping just blocks away.
The Plaza is a great place to live and is full of kind people looking for only a safe place to live. It's not fair to anyone who lives or frequents the area that the police are not keeping us safe just to keep up appearances.

When I've mentioned the excessive bombardment of noise, they seem somewhat apologetic, though they are a group that amplifies their music to the level of a rock concert. Inside my home with the windows closed, their pounding music is still quite loud. After their concerts, the people are quite excited and yell and scream a lot and honk their horns at each other.
One of our country's greatest values is the right of each person to practice the faith of their own choice. I certainly support this freedom, as does my family. Both of my children are serving in the U.S. Army. I have chosen the Sikh faith to practice. We have a saying: "Those who don't see God in all don't see God at all."
I certainly have no objection to anyone choosing Solomon's Porch as their faith, and it is my hope that they can find a place (soon) where they can legally play their music for as long and as loud as they would like to -- somewhere other than a residential neighborhood. Until that time comes, I would like the people at Solomon's Porch to know that they could show respect for their neighbors by playing their music at a volume that doesn't cause such a nuisance.
I would also like to see Kansas City take the time to investigate this situation and make the choice to enforce the nuisance noise law.

On my last visit, my order of scrambled eggs was returned to the kitchen because of the addition of dead flies, which I had not requested. Five minutes later, the waiter returned the same plate of now cold and gummy scrambled eggs, without the flies. When I tried to complain, the waiter told me that the manager was doing the cooking. No wonder.
