All the St. Day for those who celebrate in the Hellenia de los Muayatos.
Starting point is 00:03:17 Of course, part of my podcast is geeking out about really mundane. My day job on Saturdays happens to be the KC streetcar, which unfortunately I can't take to work because it doesn't go all the way there. but I have made a habit of driving from work. A number of attempts trying to record this for YouTube and really succeeded, so we're going to do it. And I'm going to keep talking because dead audio makes for terrible podcasting for the audio. Over.
Starting point is 00:04:36 So I'm going to flip the camera now. Yes, you see me driving? I'm choosing to start here I guess this is the end of the line We just had the big expansion Open last week And that will be part of the upcoming 10th season
Starting point is 00:05:03 Just have to get that in So to your right right now This is the UMKC stop This is the end of the line UMKC, YOVSA Missouri, Kansas City Also, it's going to be where I went to college So yeah, this is where So the streetcar is going to stay to my
Starting point is 00:05:30 Right for at least one more stop Before the southbound Trains across the middle of the street We've found to our next stop This is the big plaza Stop, the country got plaza The plaza itself is to my left Spanish influenced architecture
Starting point is 00:06:00 and all that I read recently. They're going to put more high rises in there, which I think would be awesome. Certainly help out the density issues. But yeah, you saw the big platform there on my right. That is the plaza stop. That's where all those festivities happened last week that I happened to attend.
Starting point is 00:06:26 So, yeah. You got a bill tow truck from me. And this is the connection. Okay. So we're just sitting here. And yeah, this is exciting times for our area. And just the beginning, because we have another extension that I will show you in this post. Going up to the riverfront.
Starting point is 00:07:06 And then we got at least three. I would dare say four future stops coming up over the course of the next few years because it really does take years for this sort of thing to happen. How it's a decade of planning and three years of construction to get this extension done. And you see here's your southbound train. goes down the middle of the street here. This is Main Street. It was Brookside Boulevard until we crossed the street there, and now it's Main Street,
Starting point is 00:07:50 and then it becomes Delaware in the River Market area. So right here, there's the next stop coming up at the light. This is art museums. The field right here to your right. That used to be the Four Points Hotel, where I started a... My security work back in the day Of course, it's been torn down, so And you probably just saw a street car right there
Starting point is 00:08:23 And I think this is the closest Between stops on the line because we just passed our museums and we're coming to Southmoreland Another interesting example of a field they used to have a building The southwest corner here with the actual platform is that used to be a liquor store used to be a brabelia stood there and they tore it down and then bother putting anything else in so my first ever job have conge was a have the navy actually was working for a floor crew this uh total line mora we just passed that used to be an office depot that we cleaned right over here to your right is uh
Starting point is 00:09:24 St. Paul's, where we currently have chess school, chess clubs after school. Crossover, there's a crossover right here at Westport Road. And right over here, that's the bar formerly known as Harlings, where we would hang out after AFC when I started. And we have reached Westport stop. And there is a beautiful street car right there. And sound bad, there's another one in the one about 39th streets over here. That's part of that, that would be part of that east-west study that they're looking to.
Starting point is 00:10:18 Again, don't expect any construction on it for another few years. So, another night, while the current jackasses in the office, that would, that spur would go down to get you met. first bits to cross into Kansas. The next time, this is armor for armor boulevard right here. One stopping because there's no one there to take it. And then that east-west thing that I mentioned a minute ago, the east parts would be kind of about here at the next lights. This is Linwood Boulevard.
Starting point is 00:11:27 and it would go east all the way down to Van Brunso. It hit the poor parts of town. It had truce and prospects and the VA hospital. Fun little fact I wound up at the VA hospital for DoorDash this week a couple days ago. There's the Fainless Gates Barbecue right there. The next stop is Union Hill, which is close to a lot of things that have been. important to me including the KCPT studio which is just a couple blocks to your right. That's our PBS station.
Starting point is 00:12:10 So this is Union Hill. You see the tower there. That is the to your left. That is the Federal Reserve Bank. And yeah, they actually print money here. We'll have 12 places in the entire country to do so. folks look for the letter j on your dollar bills it came from this bank there's also a really cool money museum i highly recommend checking out if you are ever in town and right across the street
Starting point is 00:12:50 from that is the well that's in the next side of the world war one museum and memorial The locals just call it the Liberty Memorial And there you have Crown Center To your right Here, this whole thing is a Crown Center It's based in, you can think of it as a company town for Hallmark And that right there is the Weston The Western Crown Center where, yes, I did work security
Starting point is 00:13:26 In that building as well And we're going to go out to where the new line meets the old line this is union station so union station itself to your left and kudos to the for making it out working station and then to your rights right here is across the street and actually hit the platform this is washington square park currently only used by homeless i we're back so uh yeah what happened there was uh uh uh uh uh uh Yeah, for some reason it doesn't like my connection crossing the railroad tracks here, but we're back I said to turn it around so we're going back on the
Starting point is 00:15:39 Streetcar line So this is the 12th Street so the next step would be the Crossroads so this is the Crossroads district And right here is the crossroads stop for the streetcar. So this is the main this is the starter portion of the line from New Seation and we're approaching 18th Street here. You're important to point out because they just started a study for an 18th and Vine line, which that's 18th Street. Vine is 18th of Vine district is to my five blocks. This is the Kaufman Center stop. The actual Kaufman Center is to my left, up a hill.
Starting point is 00:16:42 On top of the hill, it's a very hard building to miss. And for any, any chiefs or a swift east, the 1587 is within walking distance of your two. So this right here is Pirate Lights stop, parent lights, district. This is the closest you can get to Bartle Hall from here, which brings us to the unofficial route. time as in as KCSA didn't bring this up yet but it's been floated by the council m-rc it would come right here this so this is a metro center stop right here there's no platform on the southbound but there's there's no shelter on the southbound there's a shelter on the northbound the southbound the southbound Let's run from the tallest building in the Stan, Missouri, one KC place.
Starting point is 00:17:54 But that's, but that 12th Street line would connect downtown KCK to also go to Kansas, to the East Village Transit stop. We go to libraries over here. And this stop right here is the library stop. And hell is going on, you know. Anyways, so what was I saying? Oh, yeah. Yeah, the Green Corridor, which would go all the way from Independence Square to Village West, the Legends area.
Starting point is 00:18:41 All of which I think should have some form of rail on its butt. Because our area is run by a bunch of fucking Cheapos, we're only getting a streetcar from KCK to South and Minnesota trying to stop all the way to East Village tried to stop around which is nothing and should have been where they put the ballpark
Starting point is 00:19:08 in the first place. Right here is a North Loop stop which is the least used the main line stops but they try to fix it by opening these parking lots up for free on weekend
Starting point is 00:19:27 like today. And now we enter the river market portion. And I will actually go drive around the entire line. This time, I usually don't, but I got a shitload of time before I actually have to be at work. And this is a one-way driving. See right there, no entry. And it's from this loop that the North Rail would spin off. that's the next
Starting point is 00:20:07 to come up and I think we will hit North Rail because it does coincide with my route to the office at least part of North Rail I shouldn't say I'm not going to
Starting point is 00:20:28 trade the whole extended loop this is the city market stop of the streetcar just the one platform and right here is the opera house. I do highly recommend this place. And, uh, okay, this gibbonny is, uh,
Starting point is 00:20:48 stopping. Moving is poop emoji the end. Okay. Nice advertising to. Okay. I got to go around. Clearly, got to go around. Oh, by the way, you're blocking the tracks asshole. I'm going to turn
Starting point is 00:21:14 here because, again, staying on the line. the turn is here but if North Road goes away I think it would continue down the streets here hit Columbus Park before crossing the Missouri River
Starting point is 00:21:29 on the Heart of America so in terms of driving three bridges to be well yeah three to be aware of when traveling downtown going west to east we have Broadway bridge then Harvard America
Starting point is 00:21:48 and the Kett Bond Bridge, you know, the head of the guy. So, and there is a streetcar, yeah, making the turn. So, uh, right here, this is interesting. So, so altogether, I think they're going to call this river market. As, uh, the platform ahead of me, this is the northbound river market platform. This is part of the riverfront extension, but, but we're still doing the loop here. they have it so you can go either way. You have another platform right here,
Starting point is 00:22:30 and we are going to be right behind the streetcar right here. This is the original platform. This is called River Market North, but I'm going to take a wild guess that this will also be renamed River Market, because when you're actually right in the street car, when you hit this, the announcer says, yeah, this is the river market,
Starting point is 00:22:59 which means you think, yeah, they're going to have to rename that in time point because it's still a river market north. So we continue down following the street car. The 8-11, especially made in, UMKC, blue and cold, go ruse. And uh, because it says UMKC on the destination, uh, thing.
Starting point is 00:23:34 You got Roo up. So this is now Delaware Street. And this will become Main Street once we, uh, the loop again. But we're not crossing the loop again now, are we? Um, so it's stopping right here because this is the next stop. This is River Market West. Stop. And right next door to this is the place former than Dunmas, the cup and saucer is now
Starting point is 00:24:08 Thoumaeus, one of many locations for Thoumaeus, including the one I'm going to recommend for everyone, the Nelson has a Thoumast within it. And there's a rival wars to New MKC. And as to how UMKC came to be the ruse in the first place, we're going to go back around the loop here. And I'm going to show you the riverfront extension, but how UMKC came to be known as the ruse in the first place was, short for kangaroo, first of foremost,
Starting point is 00:24:58 it was a confluent thing back in the Depression era, where you had the KC's, adopting a couple of kangaroos and Walt Disney himself creating a mascot for the then University of Kansas City didn't become University of Missouri Kansas City until like the 60s before it was a private university called the University of Kansas City and and Walt Disney created Casey the kangaroo
Starting point is 00:25:43 which remains our mascots to this day so yeah you can credit Disney for
Starting point is 00:25:55 creating our mascots how cool is that I don't think that was the case for Oregon even though
Starting point is 00:26:05 Donald Duck is basically their mascot right So yeah, we're doing the riverfront extension now, so we're back at that river market. So this is the northbound river market. It will not open until I was told February or March. So give it a few more months.
Starting point is 00:26:30 It still got a lot of testing to do on this portion. And this portion took about a year to actually build. So that's pretty cool. right so much smaller extension than the main street extension we just drove down and and again back to that whole north rail thing if north route does include an enlarged river market loop it would connect it connect it could connect westbound here so this is uh the river market's loop it was connect it so this is uh the platform and then we're going across a bridge now that that also tracks to the depot right there and here's the bridge you see there's another bridge being built right next to it and that would be for
Starting point is 00:27:33 pedestrians and bicycles so that's pretty cool unfortunately they went out of business recently but that's a dog bar the bark or barque or whatever the fuck you wanted to call it would be to your uh would be off the bridge to your right here where the dog takes you back home or a friend the conradum would say uh yeah the tracks would go there so this is close to the sounds we could get whoa bright sun today. This goes to we come to the tracks on this part of the line.
Starting point is 00:28:29 It continues down and this is the river front line. So the Missouri River River is just literally right next to this stop. We have all this beautiful development right here. We're
Starting point is 00:28:45 nothing. So we've got some new buildings. And this is the riverfront stop right, two mile. left here with two shelters in place and provision for extending it. Should the casino over here ever decide to get on board with it, it could be set down to the casino. And I think it would behoove the casino to do just that. It passed that women's soccer stadium that's down here to two.
Starting point is 00:29:25 And no, I will not be, I am not a current fan, and I don't think I will be because I don't want to get bringing my homes any money. So we're going to double back. And I'm going to show you what the North Rail would look like. Should that ever come to pass it? And I hope it does. That is that in the big East West, So they're next two on deck.
Starting point is 00:30:00 18 of mine just, that steady just started. The green corridor, that's not a streetcar authority. It's steady just yet. So it's either east-west or north rail. And because I'm going to work north, North Rail, it is, I may have to show you east-west, Probably on a Monday or a Wednesday, just because I got to go that way for work as well. All right, so we're back at River Markets.
Starting point is 00:31:01 So you see the track right there where the streetcar made the left turn earlier, and there's track here for the right turn. Would you make people playing the loop a little more, uh, should I say Musikashi? Here's your Japanese lesson for today, folks. Musukashi means difficult in Japanese. All right, so I'm going to turn left here. So with North Rail, the track would continue going down Fifth Street. They would close off the loop, so they'd put more track between that.
Starting point is 00:31:49 southbound portion on Delaware into the existing eastbound on fifth which would be which would be at quite an engineering feat but these guys have done pretty good job with what we have so far so I so I trust that trust their judgment making that happen but go but North Rail yeah so continue down this way down fifth streets and almost double the length of the existing line then we're going to turn onto Cherry Street because this would be the next portion they would put a stop right here at this empty field this is this is the Columbus Park neighborhood right here and we're going to stop as third street so so there yeah the loop would go this
Starting point is 00:33:04 way your left but north rat itself would continue over this bridge this is the heart of America and this building right here is the streetcar depot going up north North KC I remind everyone North KC is a separate city from Kansas City Kansas State does take up space another over here see entering Clay County from early in Jackson County would do the track would I'm basically driving on where the track would be which portion of the takes there's a lot of shit that goes on in playing transit so we cross the Missouri River we're crossing some rail crossings and there is a reason I'm turning here and that's because I'm following the rounds that was prescribed so I go forward this is
Starting point is 00:34:33 Burlington Street up until the end of The North KC Asane limits where it splits In two One is Missouri Highway 9 And that goes to Riverside and Parkville And the other is North Oak Trafficway
Starting point is 00:34:53 So we're going to go Down here And this is Swift Street Taylor's version And it's down Swift Street that the line would go excuse me
Starting point is 00:35:13 and we're talking about ballpark locations earlier sorry I'm just choking on stuff here we're talking about ballpark locations earlier about right about here
Starting point is 00:35:30 is where if the ballpark were to be built in North KC and not Washington Square Park which again is my preferred spots but if it's a North
Starting point is 00:35:44 KC Ball Park, it would be built about right here to my right. Is where it would go. North Rail would be as well. This is largely industrial, not a whole lot to write home about. In fact, I think a lot of it's abandoned kind of thing about it. So stuff to think about. Not all of it, though, so this high rise right here, that's still, that is.
Starting point is 00:36:22 This is a brand new architecture right here. That's apartments, I think. And it's not like North KC is devoid of life. Absolutely not. We're coming up to another Armor Boulevard. I think this one's just Armour Road. Same spelling, by the way. Which denotes downtown North KC.
Starting point is 00:36:53 So yeah, I guess this would be a downtown ballpark ballpark to just not downtown Kansas City. Yeah, this is Armour Road. So this is the this is basically the downtown of North KC. To my
Starting point is 00:37:13 rights down this street at both chapels sports museum and restaurants, highly recommend the place. In fact, yeah, we had Jim Chappell on the winning sign and that
Starting point is 00:37:28 And if you have been recycled into this podcast, I do highly recommend that. And screen laying is down here too. Both about within the next couple of blocks over here. And then the North Rail would just continue down this way all the way to the end of the streets, which I think it's a 32nd street. We would continue this way. So, yeah, we'll do... Later on then this blog series, we'll do the East-West at some points when I, on days I have to go out to Blue Springs.
Starting point is 00:38:19 And we'll do 18th of mine at some points to, and probably get some of the green line in as well. And once again, I think it's bullshit that the rail portion is so small. for the green line. It really should be the whole line. Let's face it, you want to increase transit and make it green? I don't think buses are the way to do it. We've had buses in this metro for
Starting point is 00:38:53 God knows how long and nobody wants to take them. Everyone, and for good reason, because the bus, especially in the suburbs, the buses have been inconsistent, At best, if existent at all. And the buses are pouring it. Rail is fun. And I was reminded of that last week when we did all that with the extension opening.
Starting point is 00:39:31 So we are, yeah, continuing to tool down. Swift streets. Taylor's version. But, but, yeah, I kid about that. But seriously, how could you not be happy for Taylor and Travis? It's been a couple of months, about a couple of months now that since they and Ness, they were getting engaged. It happened right here in this beautiful city, and this is about where the end of the line is. I guess you could extend this further north and having joined North Oak at this point.
Starting point is 00:40:16 points, but you'd be coming through this auto sales in this dog park here from me. Once again, the dog takes you back home, and I'm going to continue down the North Oak. So this is the actual North Oak right here. This is farmland parkway bullshit. I saw in the, but this is North Oak. and this is the main thoroughfare through the northern parts of Kansas City. We are now in KC. Bromper, again. So North KC. is enclave by KC. North.
Starting point is 00:41:03 If that makes any sense to... I'll flip it back to... There you go. That's the streetcar line. And over the course of two videos, yeah, that's a good way to get... not pad, paum, mom to do a good start. So, I'll do at least once a day
Starting point is 00:41:35 here during the month. Remember, if I do multiples, like I had to today, because the fucking thing cut off on me. So I want to thank everyone for, if another post happened today, let it happen, continue.
Starting point is 00:42:10 Oyes, the Day de los Murtos. So, the dead for those who celebrate or as I'm sure the late great Sam Kennyson would say the day of the day so part of what I want to do today is talking about the ex-mormon experience those are regular listeners know I am an ex-mormon I left the church well over 20 years ago now and do not regret it. I've been
Starting point is 00:43:13 a friend. Today, unfortunately, it's one of those days I can't go because the coffee is in, so the coffee's in Topeka today that is a good hour and a half for me on a brand new engine
Starting point is 00:43:35 and I'm still trying to pay down he wants to make. Well, first of all, I should explaining it today is the first Sunday of the month and first Sundays in the month are traditionally fast and testimony meeting Sundays within the LDS church. Why don't mean by that, I mean that you're expected too fast for 24 hours. You're supposed to take the money that you would have used for food. turn that period and give it to the church.
Starting point is 00:44:32 I noticed how a lot of the charitable donation in Mormons too is to the church itself, not to any other causes. Those of you think it might be a cults. No, there you go. So you're expected to fast. You're expected to give the money to the church as a fast offering.
Starting point is 00:44:59 And then you're supposed to talk about it during sacrament meeting, which is what the Mormons call the mass portion of Mass. Of course, I know that's a Catholic term, but that's about the equivalent of more time. Normally, in a sacrament meeting, you usually gets in and dated with speeches about the church Everything from local pre-sled holders to It can be anywhere from local
Starting point is 00:45:50 Brazil owners to local authorities I recall efforts in general authority when I was there When I was a testimony That changes somewhat Anyone can come up to the podium And bear testimony As they say it's usually very formalio
Starting point is 00:46:21 I know This the true church of Jesus Christ Jesus Christ, I know that Joseph Smith was a prophet. Whatever else they talked about that day, and I say these things in the name Jesus Christ, amen. Basically, that is what Professor's money is. Usually, you'll see your little kids get up there. I know that they get too.
Starting point is 00:46:56 I know that you're doing to the prophet. I know my mommy and daddy love. That's what I think. The sun is bright today. So we were... So, uh, yeah, that's... that's happening. BR.
Starting point is 00:47:26 I do apologize for blinding everybody. You can't project where the... When the sun is going... Especially in a moving video like this. I've been driving this whole time. The best thing I can do is try to mitigate everything. So, Goddog. And, yeah, other gods on in Mormon land right now.
Starting point is 00:48:01 Oh, yeah, there's a new prophet scene. because Nelson died. Does he lucky enough not to know who I'm talking about Russell and Nelson was 101 years old when he passed away.
Starting point is 00:48:19 Famously hated using the term Mormon. There's a reason they're called Mormons because they use the book of Mormon as a holy scripture. No, I don't hate it. God hates it. It's because my ass, everyone was still calling themselves Mormon anyway.
Starting point is 00:48:46 And new president's Dalai Jokes is the new president of the church. Basically the LDS equivalent of a pope. And the last I checked, there is now a vacancy in the quorum with the 12 apostles. credit to show McCraney for that which means there are 11 apostles on that quorum 14 till because you know the first presidency is president of the church and its two counselors and then your quorum of the 12 yeah do I well obviously I don't still don't believe the church is teaching certainly not Not there at teaching that there is a prophet on earth,
Starting point is 00:49:46 and he is a mouthpiece for God. And I'll tell you, a lot of people don't believe that because there are a lot of splinter groups from the LDS Church. A lot of them in my backyard, literally in Independence, Missouri, just on the other side of the metro, is a Mormon holy land. think the second coming is going to happen there and B you have the community of Christ church based there you have the temple lots there you have all sorts of issues from
Starting point is 00:50:26 both those groups and I could go on but as soon as I want to keep this one the real short especially after yesterday being a long a F Um, yeah, so I'm gonna make it to ex-Mormon coffee today. Um, hope you guys have a good time today. I hope to see you next month. Uh, we'll, we'll see about that. Um, because those are always a good time, always a good time to meet other, uh, former Mormons and hear their stories of how they left the church, why they left the church and, uh, all that, uh, good stuff. And I think this is a good time to call it.
Starting point is 00:51:22 So we might do another one later today, but if we don't, I will certainly see you tomorrow. Via this, and yeah, just got done in the oil changed. I'm going to start heading towards work here in a little bit. But first I'm going to check on my father And he called me at the last possible minute To try to help him with I'm sorry, that's not
Starting point is 00:52:13 Exactly how I roll You know, I have shit to do And Doing stuff at the last minute It's just a no-go I'm changed I was going to the air filter change And for a relatively cheap
Starting point is 00:52:35 because points, because here's a, if anything, when you go to a shop that has a points, a reward system, as warranties and stuff, you get to do cool shit, like, free all changes for a certain period of time. So, there will be a couple more of these later today. I think I'll do one out on the way. actually to work and I got the monthly free-playing tournament or against Christian College forgot to give a quick shout to my guy Jared I'm one of the bar mechanics around here so if you're in the Kansas area and you got to go to this
Starting point is 00:54:06 instrument and getting this new engine and then helps me out today with the old change so that turns out I don't need to help up my dad right now so
Starting point is 00:54:22 Bill Wileson until I get to where I need to go next so we might as well talk whilst driving
Starting point is 00:54:35 focus is football season I think it's about halfway if you're a regular listener to the podcast
Starting point is 00:54:56 I probably can't bring myself to watch the NFL anymore. Especially since 20, after 2015 season.
Starting point is 00:55:21 I'm sorry, but St. Louis is a great football town. They are proving that the UFL, the battle hawks, and that would not be possible. And Stan Crocky not given us the, a giant middle finger. And, oh, yeah, broken the NFL's
Starting point is 00:55:48 relocation rules as well. And that's the crux of why I want to talk about it. I'm sorry, St. Louis is a great sports town and a great football town.
Starting point is 00:56:08 That gets unfairly tagged as just a baseball town. That was the excuse that the NFL gave to justify screwing St. Louis have a team. As far as I'm concerned, that team, the entire concept of L.A. Rams died in the 90s when they moved to St. Louis in the first place. L.A. has now had a decade to demonstrate that they are not a football town. Never have been.
Starting point is 00:56:48 It gets a point just looking when the winers play them in that stand that should have never been built. It shall remain nameless. It is entirely red. Last time I checked, Rames colors are blue and gold, not red. That's whiner colors. So who's kidding who, Stan? Because the stadium is built in L.A., absolutely. The stadium in Vegas.
Starting point is 00:57:31 could have been built in, I would still argue, should have been built in Carson sites. And remember that committee that looked over those relocation plans, said five to one, should be Carson for the Chargers and the Raiders. Because I do think those two teams were going to move regardless of what happened with St. Louis. I'm sorry, but good luck trying to get stadium financing. in the state of California. So, so,
Starting point is 00:58:14 so yeah, San Luis did a plan, Dave Becock-Bock Blitz. They had a plan to keep the Rams in St. Louis and the NFL
Starting point is 00:58:26 blatantly it and went out cost in the NFL 790 million, which to this day, the San Luis authorities are still tripping on how to properly
Starting point is 00:58:40 use it. And no, that's fine. That's fine. They earned it. And they should do it however they see fits. And if it takes time to do so, so be it. But don't for a second think that the Rams are that legitimately, because if they, because if, if it, because it all goes down to, how do the owners in question, act in accordance with the NFL's own relocation rules. And you have to be an idiot to think that Stan
Starting point is 00:59:28 did that because he did not. He did not. That was adjudicated in courts that he didn't. The courts said there has to be good faith efforts between the city and the team to negotiate a stadium to
Starting point is 00:59:50 before they could consider moving and that did not happen, hence $790 million in judgment, and just to keep it from going to trial. San Diego, well, A, the Chargers were born in L.A., B. Dean Spanos actually did try his darndest to keep the chargers in San Diego but apart the last efforts to do so
Starting point is 01:00:25 it went to a public vote didn't even get half the vote and Oakland's they've been doing nothing and Oakland has now lost all of their team so this was the first this was the first baseball season
Starting point is 01:00:45 and a while that there were no Oakland A's. They were just the A's in Everland and Sacramento. Sacramento has a pretty nasty habit of taking KC teams. Although the A's or KC by way of Oakland, but still. So, yeah, not so much excited about the NFL. And I'm sorry, the chiefs lost their opportunity.
Starting point is 01:01:25 to bring me in as a fan when Clark Hunt voted against the Carson plan. And I know what some of you're going to think, well, well, he was okay with the Chargers alone moving to L.A. There was no plan for the Chargers to move to L.A. alone. They were always going to be paired with someone. The logical, boy, the logical baron would have been the Raiders. I don't care if they are. in the same division. I think neither team was going to be staying in San Diego or Oakland,
Starting point is 01:02:03 respectively. So that should have been the, there you go. And, yeah, if you had to realign because it's to get the teams at the same division, okay, that I would have been okay with that too. But Clark Hunt basically gave St. Louis one of these
Starting point is 01:02:31 and so yeah, you'll never see me wearing the Chief's shit as a result I once again happy for Kelsey and Taylor
Starting point is 01:02:51 but you will never get me to wear red you kind of blew it there about one of these during this month just to give my top moments from New Heights.
Starting point is 01:03:19 Because I do listen to that podcast, and I do enjoy. And of course, the top moment has to be my little contribution to the podcasts, telling them about that sandwich. So, yeah. Now, in addition, though, that's... So you may know I do a companion podcast within the RSS feed of uncalled for.
Starting point is 01:04:01 It's called Unofficial Fan Lounge. See what did their UFL. And it's about the UFL, the United Football League, which is the home to the St. Louis Battle Hawks. Best attended team in the United Football League. for those you living under
Starting point is 01:04:25 Iraq the UFO is about to go into year three as presently constituted of course they are a merger between the
Starting point is 01:04:44 most recent version of the USFL which brought back a bunch of USFL from the 80s names like Birmingham Stallions and Michigan Panthers and the most recent version of the
Starting point is 01:05:02 XFL, your battlehawks your DC defenders and all that. The league brought in the new owner, the league owns all the teams now. And they brought in the new owner and he
Starting point is 01:05:21 got to say he shook the things up the last couple of months would be an understanding to have three teams that have been moved. So Memphis gone. I'm sorry you can't keep a team on just 4K, under 4K average attendance.
Starting point is 01:05:45 So Memphis showboats gone. Michigan Panthers temporarily gone. They could be back. Should, uh, Detroit City get their stadium affairs in order. Because, let's face it, Fort Field. They weren't even remotely close to selling out that place. Fortfield, of course, the home of the Detroit Lions in the NFL.
Starting point is 01:06:18 And Santone Abram is also gone. same thing as Michigan But they do have a soccer stadium in San Antonio but it's too small for what this new owner is looking for
Starting point is 01:06:42 and I've seen a lot of people say well what about this stadium that's a high school stadium well I'm pretty sure there are rules against high school stadium serving alcohol and some other liturgical things and another shitload of almost college grade
Starting point is 01:07:05 high school and stadiums throughout the San Texas High School. So those three teams out. In their place we have the Columbus Aviators. Interesting name. Not too keen on the logo.
Starting point is 01:07:31 Then we have the Louisville Kings. Louisville has no major pro teams to it. And do we really need another horse-themed team? You already have the Birmingham Stallions. So do we need another horse team? Well, I guess the NFL has two. And then you have the Orlando Storm. So they didn't even bring back the XFL name, the Gordians.
Starting point is 01:08:12 then kind of sort of new. Kind of some people thinking the Tampa Bay Storm and the Arena League, but when they were still around, it would be interested in those three teams playing in soccer stadiums. And so the only UFO team that's still playing in an NFL quality stadium
Starting point is 01:08:40 is the bowhawks. And that's because we're the only team that's demonstrated. And so we can't. adequately sell a one that the league and the previous zone are kind of shit on. And the other two Texas team, the roughnecks are now the gamblers. So they're going back to the USFL name with a far superior logo. This time I'm never, never crazy about the original gambler logo.
Starting point is 01:09:25 And then you got the reg aids getting out of the prison. Sorry, Arlington, if you don't want me making that joke, don't spill it a ballpark that more closely resembles a maximum security patent entry. Simple as that. And they change the name back to Dallas, Ray Gates. Amles them not even in Dallas, it's in Frisco. The other 3-2 stallions, defenders, ball hawks, they're all staying put. Yeah, that's cool. to be the three teams, I think, have the strongest fan cultures of the NFL.
Starting point is 01:10:22 You have us, the badlocks with, keeps in attendance attendance record, so averaging 30K a game. Breaking, a spring attendance, we're going to have over 40K. Kakaunas along and fuckrocky. It's basically our culture. DC, their finger. Well, they set the example for playing in soccer stadium. And, of course, they got the Bear Snake,
Starting point is 01:10:53 which I still maintain is the coolest fan's tradition in the entire league. With Birmingham, you have everyone taking their shirts off and thinking their Jason Kelsey in Buffalo. And it doesn't hurt that Birmingham and DC had both won the UFL championship of Birmingham and in 24 DC in 25 and hopefully the battle locks
Starting point is 01:11:25 win in 26 and another thing I think is a really cool about this coming a year
Starting point is 01:11:32 is that they're a gang right of the conference designation so there's no
Starting point is 01:11:40 there's not going to be a USFL conference and an XFL conference it's just a single
Starting point is 01:11:44 table league with all eight teams and I think that's cool and everything, but as a fan of the
Starting point is 01:11:55 Premier League, which also uses the single table, what you really should be doing is instead of just the 10 games that you're planning because you can't play home in a way with 8 teams on
Starting point is 01:12:11 a 10 game schedule, you need to expand the season 10, 14, you know, so that you can guarantee home and away with every team. So I'm really excited about that. UFL season doesn't start until late March.
Starting point is 01:12:34 So there's a set consistent there in late March. Spring football ain't nothing like it. Yeah, once again, just difficult following. I know I've said I've adopted the Arizona Cardinals by post-Rams. team. Going against the move, voted against the final plan, to which I still give him
Starting point is 01:13:09 a ton of credit, honestly. But we're kind of sucking right now. The Cardinals are. Quite impressed with how the Colts had been under new ownership. And Jim Hersey
Starting point is 01:13:30 passed away, and his daughters now run the team. And one of them, Carly has been quite, hands-on as an owner, to the point that she's on the sidelines every game wearing the headsets and taking notes and everything. And I wish more owners were like that to. And the cults, I'll be, I'll be 100% honest here. The cults were always my number two team as a rampant.
Starting point is 01:14:09 Now that Jim Mersey is past, I could see a scenario where they could be my number two team again. College football, and I don't really follow college football all that much. Except that's Colorado stinking up the joints this year. And I have no idea how Notre Dame or Florida States are doing right now. I think we'll end to this particular post here. that's all I really want to talk about football-wise and if anyone wants to argue with me
Starting point is 01:15:03 about the merits of the merits of amnitude in St. Louis or that particular team coming back to Alex just because, well, they've been around for 50 years. Have you looked at the attendance assholes?
Starting point is 01:15:21 That is all. So, yeah, until next post. And everybody, so coming out you from beautiful blue springs Missouri I'm actually parked at the school I'm about to teach at this afternoon and you'll get at least one more of these today I know a lot happening today
Starting point is 01:16:01 from our Monday night our first Monday nights activities out at the Kansas Christian College if you're in the Kansas City area I want to play some of the chest. Come on town. I do charge a $10. A visitor fee.
Starting point is 01:16:20 But so come on down. Go on and, and, uh, all that. So, so, uh, yeah, just got done, uh, booking appearance on another podcast. So, uh, so right now, in addition to, uh, working on my own podcasts, I'm offering, uh, to appear on other people's podcasts. And I, happy here. I'm happy to announce I'm going to be a podcast called a drink o'clock
Starting point is 01:16:49 and that won't record for until December 17th so any time after that just keep an eye out for that
Starting point is 01:17:04 I'll probably spend a little bit of time talking about this podcast and we got another recording for uncalled for scheduled for the 20 seconds this month
Starting point is 01:17:21 I'm looking forward to that and then appearing on I'm doing a call with another podcast also in December and I also need to get back in touch with a friend of the podcast Brody Oat's way you can listen
Starting point is 01:17:39 Brody's episode of our podcast now Brodie Oat's Way Fandom's podcast is the end of the episode So do like that But is My episode on his podcast
Starting point is 01:17:56 Unfortunately Stuff happened And it sounds like we have to Rerecord Well Concern that we were talking about Star Trek When I was on his show
Starting point is 01:18:09 And there's been a lot more Star Trek to happen since that recording, I have a feeling that it'll be slightly different this time around, but we'll see. I do need to get that tank care of. And yeah, try and get some more locally sourced interviews as well. That's, yeah, that's it for, that's it for now. We'll see in a little bit. I'll show you around our setup. for that first Monday. So I have Rayso as promised.
Starting point is 01:19:06 I'm here at Kansas Christian College. And I'll show you on. All right. So there's our gear. Right there. Set up right there at the podium. Simple hallway, tent.
Starting point is 01:19:34 The hallway, we are underneath the chapel here at the columns of these stairs. This way you can see where I parked. Not very big campus at all, but still very noticeable. So down there is 75th Street. Maccalf is just blocked. So I left where I'm looking. behind the tree here. I can actually go down this way.
Starting point is 01:20:16 You see we have the pharmacy right there. That's where I get my men and send behind that is my shop. Yeah. Very familiar place for me. I'm going to get something at the car. real quick and yeah hopefully people show up for this is a monthly thing that we do and yeah I just hope we have good turn out this evening and and uh...
Starting point is 01:21:03 uh... have nothing else so I hope we don't need to do another one of these this evening But we'll definitely do a couple tomorrow. And until tomorrow, hopefully. See then. Things got to do. Get the car washed, especially since birds been shitting on it. Lately. Fun times.
Starting point is 01:22:07 Yeah, I got to get the car washed. I got the old cheese. Because the fun part, we just sit around for a while, so I might as well talk on sitting here. So today is Election Day, of course, and there are two races I want to talk about today, both local to me. The first is Ovalon Park Mayor. I already got my voting out of the way because, you know, we have early voting here in Johnson,
Starting point is 01:22:59 Kansas and my vote was for Ferris by Saudi I'm sorry Scoog he may
Starting point is 01:23:10 I don't know if he is a Democrat now or not he certainly wasn't when he was
Starting point is 01:23:16 on OP City Council he must be one of those he must be one of those moderate Republicans who switched
Starting point is 01:23:26 parties is now a dem but uh regardless, he seems hell-bent on continuing the sprawl. And, I would dare say, ignoring the parts of the city as evidenced by the fact that they're still,
Starting point is 01:23:57 that we're still talking about the possibility of the rural is going to South O.P., which I think is bullshit, so they belong downtown. Coupled with it, they just keep expanding Southward and Southward. It's going to get to the point I fear. It's going to get to the point where Ovalon Park winds up in Miami County at some point. I don't want to see that at all. and let's couple that with the fact
Starting point is 01:24:35 they announced they were moving City Hall from where it is right now up here near downtown OPE to where the NC2A
Starting point is 01:24:50 used to have their barred right across the street from the Sheraton yes bad Sheraton and they used to do security had and you know
Starting point is 01:25:07 and he's he continued to the path that Ed Eilert's put us down and I haven't on the flip side Ferris helped me out
Starting point is 01:25:20 four years ago when I ran for city council again and was a at least at the time was a
Starting point is 01:25:30 at them he definitely had more conservative views than I do and that's perfectly all right but but yeah
Starting point is 01:25:40 so it's parts I'm not happy with the direction our city is going and parts help help out someone who helps me out on that and the other one for Ward 1 at the
Starting point is 01:25:55 City Council I am I am disgusted that Healy is running on a post this year that is disgusting thing to me.
Starting point is 01:26:09 All right? And I'm going to address it once again. Some of you may be new to the program, but I'm going to address it. My
Starting point is 01:26:21 shall we say, feud with Logan starts in 2016 when he's the one that committed the D-on-D violence. I was already on the ballot for state Senate.
Starting point is 01:26:37 and the district and shit so anyways you know it's my feud with Logan started in 2016 when I ran for state senate district's 21
Starting point is 01:27:26 the seats well the current older is a Democrat Donna Sykes but she wasn't always she was another one of those moderate Republicans at the time
Starting point is 01:27:40 in this time frame right So it's held by a very right-wing Republican my name of Greg Smith. His platform was entirely both for me because my daughter was murdered. And I think that's the worst type of politics is to capitalize, trying to capitalize on the death of a loved one. If people have a problem with that, well, stop listening. Progressive.
Starting point is 01:28:25 persuasion. Get rid of a shot. Then comes on January 16. And it was running the party at the time, Nancy Liker. It forms, you have a primary opponent. It was Logan Healy. I could come. A few things happened in the months.
Starting point is 01:29:06 I was drunk just listened to either time I had Andrew Rainey on the podcast. Andrew was volunteering for Bernie Sanders campaign at the time has some insights on what happened, particularly at the caucus, because we're still doing caucuses in the 16th, you know, where everyone shows up at the same time and stands in different corners of the room to demonstrate who they're voting for. So the caucus is, that was the first major strike. and all these people going for the caucus, just about the same time the pitch had done a story on the race.
Starting point is 01:30:07 I was already on the ballot at the time. Logan was not. He actually had volunteers at this caucus collecting signatures, and this part of my beef with him and with the county party in general. One of those volunteers, allegedly, I can't 100% to prove this, allegedly. And if I were able to prove it in 2016, this particular case would be in prison. He was telling voters, sign the petition to get Logan on the ballot, or you can't vote, which would be highly illegal. That volunteer, by the way, is a gentleman by the name of Brandon Woodard. important for me to point that out because he is currently in the Kansas House of Representatives
Starting point is 01:31:13 by doing some scumbag shit similar what Logan did so maybe that's where he got it I don't know but at that caucus they were supposed to give candidates an opportunity to speak they let Logan talk for God knows how long and they never bothered getting me So I find, uh, so I find, uh, Andrew and I find, uh, Diane Edsel Wise to, uh, see, uh, if I can speak with all the Bernie volunteers, because all majority of those people there were there for Bernie that day. And I talked about that on the podcast, too, so go back and listen to thoughts on the 2016 election, which is, uh, not so much about Donnie, but about my experience, uh, as again. So that was the big strike.
Starting point is 01:32:14 And I should point out that the co-chair of that caucus was a gentleman by the name Bill Rausch, who happens to be Logan's father. So nepotism much asshole. And then comes a little later in the process. About a month later, I'm at training. I come home, I find out that's Logan that sent volunteers to my house. Now on the Republican side, Greg Smith sent to folks to Dinah's house as well, and Dinah had an epic response for that. I'm voting for Dinah Sykes because I'm Dinah Sykes.
Starting point is 01:33:01 Well, I wish I was home for this. You know who I... You know I'm running for that seat, right? This is I lost in the primary. He lost in the general to Dinah, who is now a Democrats, by the way. And Bill Rash does owe me an apology for torpedoing my attempts to get back on the executive board to make sure what happened to me didn't happen to anyone else.
Starting point is 01:33:38 And, uh, but he torpedoed me and used the fact I supported Dinah. What Diana didn't treat me like shit like, uh, Logan did. All right. And, spoiler, two years later, Dina Sykes, Democrats. She switched parties. And I had sense that she could, because she did not sound like a Republican during the entire cycle. She could have gone either way, I think.
Starting point is 01:34:09 And, you know, I'm glad that she's a Democrat. But at the time, you know, it was all about, you know, how did they treat me? and she treated me with respect. And that's important for me. I didn't stop this scum back from running for city council one year later. And then getting re-elected in the 21. And I chose to run in 21 against him.
Starting point is 01:34:41 And it's the same shit over and over. Okay, I'm going to stop right now. I'm going to get some stuff before I start doing, DoorDash for a little bit of DoorDash before going up to the office. I might skip DoorDash all together, but I'll talk a little bit. Let's continue that story, shall we? So, yeah, where are we? Oh yeah, we're talking about City Council.
Starting point is 01:35:21 So, yeah, 17, he gets elected. Between 17 and 21, if you are a regular listener to the podcast, you already know this story, but I'll go on tell it for, anyone who's new. So next to my house, to the east of my house, since forever, there was a big empty field on the other side which was lined with trees and that was a big, my mom called it the snake tree. There's a giant tree just in the middle of this field. We're told to stay away from them. There were snakes there.
Starting point is 01:36:14 And it was actually the backyard of the house on the end. It's behind us. And a little old lady owned that house. And, you know, it never gets play there and everything and just having it ever rent next to my house. So it's kind of like an extended yard. Well, um. I was hoping my dad out this weekend he reminded me of that and also told me that he at one time tried to buy the house after that old lady passed away. But her son blocked it and I got a better deal.
Starting point is 01:37:04 Well, that better deal resulted in two additional houses being built right next to my house. there's still heads of a field at the very end there which you'll see when you turn into the end of the same the house is on
Starting point is 01:37:30 but there's two new houses there and they are ridiculously over priced and affordable housing is a discussion for another time but who but
Starting point is 01:37:44 the fact that this you have It got me upset, got my siblings upset, and got the rest of the neighborhood upset to the point that they formed a petition. Unfortunately, it was okayed. Obviously, they built the houses since then the plan was okayed. And guess who decided to condescend to my sister after that vote? Yeah, Logan Ealy. So when I one comes around, I'm.
Starting point is 01:38:27 Well, I'm, uh, I decided at the very last minutes that, yeah, um, I can't have this guy be unopposed, so I'm putting my name on the balance. And, uh, turned out I wasn't alone in my thinking that year. Because, uh, there were two other candidates, uh, for that two other challengers. Uh, one of them, Ryan Spencer, uh, Ryan, good guy, definitely more conservative than me. but still a good guy when I first met Ryan he was being helped out by
Starting point is 01:39:06 Ferasati as well so it would have been one of the two of us and I would have been totally fine with that but also he said well I know your brother Joe that's pretty cool
Starting point is 01:39:24 the primary come around and they go into the events and everything and turn those events I'm reminded of oh yeah I'm reminded very strong and how big a scumbag this guy actually is. He said himself when we did our 100th episode. He was a super douchey.
Starting point is 01:39:57 Well, that's putting it. That's a way to describe him. I'm using much stronger language than super douchey. He does come off as such. As you do, when you go to the rich kids school and you do your college, USC. I'm not talking South Carolina. And no, I'm talking USC Trojans there.
Starting point is 01:40:31 And everything in this mouth, oh, I'm about education. You don't hold an office that deals with education at all. So why the fuck are you bringing up education? Same goes with the Senate. Why are you bringing up education? The Senate has nothing to do with education. and there's separate entities for that. It's my characterization of him as being a noun of urban education.
Starting point is 01:41:08 And that's something that frankly, frankly, Dems, let's stop with that, please. I know I've tried to stop with that. So that's all my consciousness ever right now. Just stop talking about education because, uh, uh, A, a lot of people don't really give shit about that. B, unless, unless you're, uh, specifically running for a job that deals with it. Shut the fuck up about it. And, you know, it's another term. And now this bullshit of him getting going unopposed.
Starting point is 01:41:55 And so many contradictions with this guy, I swear to God. Um, oh, I'm for the important. environment while you okayed putting an express lane in a on a freeway that's hardly education that's hardly environmentalists but you okay to tearing down a golf course which uh if you feel a certain way about golf you know that that's fine but on the other hand golf courses are green space you're turning up green space uh for a district that no one asked for. And you're just continuing with this.
Starting point is 01:42:46 Let's push everything further south and be unaccessible. And he's given lip service to improving transit. I do say lip service. Now, to his credit, he did show up to the Main Street Extension grand opening. and to my credit I didn't punch him in the face he is the example of what we're talking about within the Democratic Party between corporate Democrats and progressive Democrats
Starting point is 01:43:23 he is clearly on the corporate side and Andrew friend of the podcast Andrew Rainey could tell you that as well as the Bernie campaign who they reach out to in that race not until no again, I'm telling you that.
Starting point is 01:43:43 They've reached out to me because I would like to think I'm more progressive. I certainly supported Bernie in 16. And here's how much I supported Bernie. I wrote Bernie in 24 because, let's face it, Harris is also a national example of corporateists of Democrats who are really, ruining it for the rest of us. So, so,
Starting point is 01:44:19 uh, we need to do something about, uh, 29. But, uh, in the meantime, fuck you,
Starting point is 01:44:25 Logan. Uh, am I now? Is where that, uh, political violence thing. Cause of mine. I didn't,
Starting point is 01:44:36 I'm not suggesting anyone go out and put a hit job on any of these people. Uh, I am suggesting, just don't vote for them. Um, and I just work to, get them out of office.
Starting point is 01:44:49 You know, but do it legally. You know, do it legally. Don't try to take matters in your own hands and threaten people without violence. That's not how it works. Try them with them with ideas. Try and make more persuasive arguments than clearly I'm able to. But that also brings up another topic that is near and dear to Bernie Sanders' hearts. And mine, that's getting money out of politics.
Starting point is 01:45:25 So let's do that. Let's get money out of politics. You're ready for office. You want to take small donations? Okay, fine, but don't not allow an entire lobby to buy you like the education lobby completely bought Logan.
Starting point is 01:45:49 I've got a story about the thanks. This was during the 16th campaign at Washington Day's. Washington Days is the annual get-together of the Kansas Democratic Party. We're in March. around that time. And always in the Topeka.
Starting point is 01:46:21 Always fun things to do. That was like to the last Washington days I went to. The Southeast Democratic Party, they always care with everyone. It's always really, very good. And this guy's from Kansas City, by the way. And I sat with Nancy. Fuck him, but don't kill him.
Starting point is 01:47:12 Just let's reset for 2020. behind, find someone in office and office. That's how you win. That's how you're, that's not supposed to be done. Not with violence, but with traction. Yes, it is that dark. It is just after 530 in the morning. Wednesday and I am going to,
Starting point is 01:48:32 and yes, it is that's dark. It usually is this dark, but this time. See why I'm early to go to work on Wednesdays. This is what I'm talking about. All right. Up doesn't start until 7.30, but it just does take about that long to get from my house to... So my house is in Ovalon Park, Kansas, just in the northeastern corner of Johnson County. Where I'm going is Blue Springs, which is in Missouri.
Starting point is 01:49:15 first of all some cars on state line and uh about to pass the midway point into eastern jackson county missouri boys to get there conveniently happens to be a future streetcar routes i think we'll go that way today but the most convenient way just opened back up this past week that's uh gulburn road so good so the progression if we're going west eight east it goes uh preysion Star Parkway west of the renter boulemark to then becomes 95th Street and stays a bit past the mall all the way to the state line that's standline becomes Bannister Road it's the Bannister Mall back in the day which is now they're toward the mall down and starts slowly building stuff
Starting point is 01:50:33 back up there and then from Benzumal becomes Colburn Road into Haleigh Summons area and that and see a Colburn Road portion that recently reopened after being closed forever notes to K dots let's get the turn diagonal fixed too already it's been how long anyway that's probably probably the fastest way from here. Without taking interstate, of course. Another habit about me is I fucking hate taking the interstate and try to avoid it as much as possible.
Starting point is 01:51:23 One of the symptoms of avoiding interstates travel is, yeah, you want to avoid it, but it's going to make your journey slightly longer. was insanely longer but it's still an hour drive told me an hour back probably a little longer today
Starting point is 01:51:49 because I've shit to do this evening but uh yeah we'll do the yeah we'll drive the east west today the east west rap speed planes for the street car with a slight alteration
Starting point is 01:52:09 and when we get there, I'll tell you why. So I will see it a little bit. It's still dark, but we're almost here. So I'm currently in the planning phases. Don't expect this to be registered car until 2032 at the earliest. And that's entirely been on whether or not we get pro transit presidency after dot each. jerk off. This is the east-west routes and we're going from west to east today with a slight detour and I'll explain why including it there. So we're going to start and we'll turn
Starting point is 01:53:09 the camera over now. This is University of Kansas Medical Center KU Med. This is about where we're starting most anxious to charge on 39th streets which is not this light, the next light. Science 39th, one of the things I saw them about debating in their research is where the terminus would be, because this was either right here at the light, right here at the light, or right here at the emergency room. It's a brand new emergency room entrance right here, which happens to sit right on state line, and we will be crossing the state line, and three, move it, jerk off. So while we're here, I think this is jazz kitchen to your right. That's Cajun food. Friends sushi immediately to your left here. Best sushi place in Kansas City. And this is the 39th Street West District.
Starting point is 01:54:39 Everyone's complaining, uh, frick and frack can give them a shoutouts. Um, place we used to go whole time with IFC. There would be the first to stop after KU Med would be a, about here, Wyoming Street. As you see, the street here is pretty narrow and the streets feeding into this are also pretty narrow. But yeah, it is what it is. It is what is, but this would be ideal for decorations. Not even Christmas, not even Thanksgiving yet. Those we just got done with Halloween, not even only week. I think the next time would be either around here with Q39 to my Artigo Pizza also to my left but realistically I think the next up would be about here which is South Southwest trafficway oh missy Bs to your
Starting point is 01:56:06 right famous drag bar there's Southwest trafficway we are on the northern edge of Westport routes so yeah this round would just serve Westport too so that's pretty cool Pennsylvania Avenue not to be able to be able to visit with the one DC of course but just down the street to my right into the Harve Westport the Westport coffee house is right there next slide is Broadway and this be the next stop along this route if you're hearing this let's consider name it Westport Broadway just because it sounds
Starting point is 01:57:13 it sounds better I think and then the line would continue into the Westport stop at 39th in Maine which is up here but I'm not allowed to turn left onto Main Street so
Starting point is 01:57:29 will you fuckers learn how to use a fucking crosswalk I swear I got that sorry I almost ran into a couple guys try and cross the street right there. So yeah, that's the reason I turned here. And to my immediate right here, 3-8th in Baltimore,
Starting point is 01:57:58 is part of the streetcar extension now. This is the little outpost, if you will, that they built for maintenance along the major extension, which, oh, here is the maintenance extension. because we're back to the main street. So yeah, so yeah, that's, that portion of 39th would, empty it would turn into the mainstream extension.
Starting point is 01:58:30 And follow the main street extension up to Lelandwood Boulevard. Is that a nice little spur? What the hell is going on here? The fuck is going on there. Did you see that? Something's on fire. Speaking of the streetcar, yeah, there's a, First street guard that's a at armor stop.
Starting point is 01:59:01 Wood, uh, to use the, so, uh, on the, uh, streetcar map, Glenwood is between armor and Union Hill. And, uh, you know you're at Linwood because, uh, immediately right there is, uh, Gates Barbecue guy, like, hi, I'm I help you. And that's actually where we'll be turning. So strategically this helped. This works a two things where I need to go this morning. It's okay to drive on the tracks here if you are turning and yes I am turning.
Starting point is 01:59:59 This light is Linwood Boulevard and right there is the Gates. The famous Gates Barqueue and this is the next part of the East West lines on Linwood Boulevard. The stop would actually be about where this lights is, if I'm reading the schematics currently, this being the main and lingwood stop. Right here, this interest. There's an empty field here. There's a Costco. Eat dispensary.
Starting point is 02:00:36 I have not stouched by it yet. But, yeah, weed is legal in Missouri, medicinal and recreational. Weed is completely illegal in Kansas. just fuck you very much time messerson and um i think it'll be between this light and the next lights this would be a stop on the east west this be gillam so this is gillam plaza right here which become which will continue become um oak street downtown and uh gillam boulevard to our to our ride and next would be Gillum Road. Gellum is in interesting because it got a road diet, got bike lanes and stuff so that's cool. So this is a Gillum Road and we're
Starting point is 02:01:38 trying to see the sun almost coming up. That's the next stop through the poor rur of our city. This next light would be the next stop. This next stop, this next stop. This This is Truist Avenue. Yes, the famous, or infamous, rather, Truist Avenue. This is the unfortunate dividing line between East and the White Cemeanies to the West. There's PlayStation right here. The Paseo, this will be the next stop along the line to the Paseo. They say this charm signal right here is the oldest in the city.
Starting point is 02:02:47 have to have for a manning to your right the old Orthodox Church where I was for that east-west meeting that made its way to the podcast to our next stop US 71 which is a quirky which a US 71
Starting point is 02:03:29 is quite cork it dumps into the downtown loop to my left but it's not interstate yet it won't become interstate until Grandview because of three intersections south of um south of uh brush creek uh three yeah yeah three uh intersections like this with a stop sign everything which uh you can't have us interstates with that sort of thing so it's 71 all the way it's it'll continue to be 71 but
Starting point is 02:04:09 It's past the Granvety Triangle, it becomes Interstate 49. The next stop, yeah, use a crosswalk, jackass. The next stop will be right here, Brooklyn Avenue. Down the street to my left is where the old municipal stadium once stood in 22nd in Brooklyn, which is pretty close to 18th of mine district. And I will hit that line eventually. Turn the course of them wealth would not be as long as this line.
Starting point is 02:04:53 This line's almost as long as the entirety of the... The next step would be about here. This is Prospect, and we are D. Pagato right here, a prospect. This is like Black Main Street. Well, I'm sorry to use the analogy, but it is. Unfortunately, that grocery store had closed its right thing. there, which is sad because that was a good grocery store. I've been there a couple times.
Starting point is 02:05:34 There are max bus lines, so that's our portem to have bus rubber transit on truce and on prospect. The streetcar line exists on what used to be a max bus line that is now no more. So yeah, there's a cannon, there's a, there's a. two candidates for your next couple of routes on truce and on prospect right here is Indiana Avenue this will be the next
Starting point is 02:06:08 stop we have a Central High School to my right there's stadium and parked to my left and there's a YFCA in this area too so this has been the next time
Starting point is 02:06:22 I think the next time would be Jackson Avenue which is still ones we're starting to see sunlight come up so yeah here's the Y right here in Cleveland it's still very early in the morning I think the lights is Jackson
Starting point is 02:06:54 actually this would be the next stop purely a residential side with this one maybe well maybe not entirely residential in the front truck no entirely residential the only other thing I see around here is a church and then the next stop
Starting point is 02:07:13 after this would be, is that Lister on the schematic, but I would change it to Lister for VA Hospital because that's where the VA Hospital would be and that's the next stop. The next stop would be about further down the... Yeah, the next stop would be about here. Is the entrance to the Veterans of Air Hospital? possible now I'm going to turn the next slide but I think the line will continue a little further down this room because it's going to curve up across 31st Street and then end at van Brum Boulevard and that'll be the and that'll be the end of this line.
Starting point is 02:08:26 The study area actually went all the way out to the stadiums which aren't too far from here. But yeah, the line from my stuff would continue down this streets a little bit into Vanbrun Boulevard, but I'm turning here and be a, it's still be to your left. If you saw this in person, it goes a little, it's now a little downhill from where I'm looking, massive hill. But yeah, this light is Van Brunt to my left, Cleaver 2 to my right. And this is where the line would terminate. Right here, you got Taco Bell, you got McDonald's right here. The original plan for these West's went out to the stadiums. We will be near.
Starting point is 02:09:26 We're driving near the stadiums, but won't actually be passing. But initially that was the plan, but there's not ready to haul lots between that stop. And I say it certainly not enough to justify a streetcar line at this point. And for everyone coming up here for the World Cup, they will not even start construction on this particular night until 29 at the earliest. And it wouldn't be finished until 32 at the earliest. Again, we're assuming that 28 we put it, essentially put it down. Democrats back in the office because the current guy and his party are anti-transit. Because it's our green, it's a new hoax.
Starting point is 02:10:26 They say the windmills give you cancer. That should not, now, not that said, maybe it's not ideal for a streetcar, but certainly get some rail on there, especially if the NFL team decides to build a new stadium. And it's still a gateway as well to the eastern suburbs like Independence, Blue Springs, East Summit, Raytown, Grey Valley, US. Yeah, we're going to end it here, but that is the East West has experienced at 6 o'clock, 619 in the morning. I'll probably get a couple more of these in today because why nuts? I'm out of here.
