• No one wants to live in KC

  Photo courtesy of the Kansas City Convention & Visitors AssociationFirst, they say dating sucks in KC. They they say we're fat. Now, Pew says no one wants to live here. No shit. If you can't get a date, and everyone is a bunch of fat asses, then who's going to want to live here? OK, maybe 15 percent of people do. Still, beats living in Detroit, Cleveland or Cincinnati.

  Flickr: Andjam79Kansas City brings the testosterone. That is, if you believe a new study commissioned by the snack Combos and executed by research company Bert Sperling (of the semi-famous Best Places to Live list).They determined Nashville to be the number one manliest city followed by Charlotte, Oklahoma City, Cincinnati, Denver, St. Louis, Columbus and then us.

Pitch managing editor Scott Wilson was pleased to see one Kansas City entry on the list: the pork and beef barbecue at LC's Bar-B-Que, one of my a

  Brooklyn's Talib Kweli and Cincinnati-born D Hi-Tek collaborated as Reflection Eternal on the monumental album, Train of Thought, then waited ten years before making a Reflection Eternal follow-up, which is due out this summer. So I worried when the duo abandoned the Granada's stage last night at 11 p.m., having performed for a little over an hour. Obviously, these guys don't mind keeping a fan waiting."You know we couldn't leave y'all like that," Hi-Tek reassured as the duo quickly reemerged an
