• Bid on a piece of Kansas City food history

  When the Kansas City Zephyr first left Union Station in 1953, bound for Chicago, it represented the ultimate in luxury train travel and design. Less than 15 years later, the Zephyr was out of service -- dismantled for parts.In the years since, the golden era of train travel has acquired a nostalgic luster. The Kansas City Museum has a large collection of train memorabilia, including menus from luxurious dining cars. Charles Ferruzza highlighted several of these menus in an informative speech he

• Will Wendy's reverse auction reverse its decline?

  Flickr: Kit KathWendy's misses Dave. The chain's sales have stayed as flat as its square burgers since the lovable founder died in 2002. Since then, Wendy's advertising campaigns have been -- to put it lightly-- less than memorable. Wendy's was the first fast-good chain to do a dollar menu and the first to have a healthy menu, but for some reason it couldn't keep up the innovation. As this Time article from 2005 explains:Over the past two years, its competitors wised up and realized that they to

  View Larger Map An 83-year-old mansion at 6315 Ward Parkway will be auctioned on the steps of the Jackson County Courthouse tomorrow at 2:00 p.m. The Kansas City Star reported that the home went into foreclosure after SolutionsBank made the owners a $1.1 million dollar loan in October 2007 that since defaulted.The mansion's most recent owners had planned to expand the J.C. Nichols-constructed home, whose original design was based on Christopher Wren's architecture. But the work was abandoned,

• eBay says no to auction for man accused of killing George Tiller

  Scott P. Roeder​I'm shocked that eBay doesn't want anything to do with the anti-abortion extremists who are trying to raise money for the legal defense of the man accused of killing George Tiller. The Kansas City Star has the statement from eBay -- and gets the name of the man accused of killing Tiller wrong. It's Scott Roeder, not Dennis Roeder. Anyway, here's the statement from the online auction site. Based on the details we know about the anticipated listings, we believe these would violat

• Two auctions for George Tiller's accused killer ongoing

  ​Two auctions are ongoing to raise money for Scott Roeder, the man charged with killing Wichita abortion provider George Tiller. Earlier today, we noted Talking Points Memo's awesome coverage of the auctions to raise money for Roeder (although the items had been removed by the time we checked for them).After 10 bids, a "prolife Bible" that belonged to Shelley Shannon -- the convicted clinic arsonist who shot and wounded Tiller in 1993 -- is up to $51. The Bible's description reads: Don't belie

• eBay pulls all auctions for man charged with killing George Tiller

  ​It didn't take long for eBay to pull the last two auctions aimed at raising money for the legal defense of Scott Roeder, the man accused of killing Wichita abortion provider George Tiller. The online auction house removed several auctions for Roeder early Monday, including one for a pencil sketch of Biblical character David holding the decapitated head of Goliath, whose forehead read "Tiller" and corpse read "Child murdering industry."But two auctions -- one for a "prolife Bible" that belonge
