  • Best to avoid Wyandotte between 12th and 13th streets today.

There are going to be some stinky hotel guests downtown. An overnight water main break has left the Aladdin Holiday Inn without water. It's also shut down Wyandotte between 12th and 13th streets, so reroute. As you'll see, you better bust out your galoshes.

That giant crack in the street is going to be a problem. TV news folks had trained their cameras on it ... and the water streaming down the street.

These Water Services guys were working on the break around 8 a.m. Notice the patriotism (that's why KC's the third most patriotic city in the country). USA! USA!

Cars were splashing through the flooded street.

Yep, just another day in the city that doesn't work. Can I get a metal plate?
