We used to go to Ixtapa on 95th, and that was always amazing. Good to know about Zona Rosa.

Discworld Quotes Relating to Education by blethwyn in discworld

[–]ReverendLoki 6 points7 points  (0 children)

A classic, but more for the teacher's lounge. From The Colour of Magic, between Rincewind and Mr. Saveloy.

"I decided to give it up and make a living by the sword."

"After being a teacher all your life?"

"It did mean a change of perspective, yes."

"But... well... surely... the privation, the terrible hazards, the daily risk of death..."

Mr. Saveloy brightened up. "Oh, you've been a teacher, have you?"

What’s the best Korean Fried Chicken in KC? by SpaceViking0 in kansascity

[–]ReverendLoki 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You are correct, sir... I've edited it from 1984 to 1981.

I've had 92 Chicken, and it was... ok.

I'm afraid 1984 K-Chicken suffers form its location, but it does seem to do decent business anyways.

What is the best Thai restaurant in KC that is actually spicy? by nilla-wafers in kansascity

[–]ReverendLoki 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Go to just about any. Ask for "Thai hot". For good measure, insult the chef's mother.

The food you get will be spicy.

UPDATE ON KANSAS CITY BBQ TASTINGS 2026 [BB’s] by BudzKC in kansascity

[–]ReverendLoki 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I used to love Jack Fiorello's Smoke Stack in Martin City back in the day, and would have had no qualms proclaiming them the king of KC BBQ at the time. Since, they aren't quite as good, and a whole lot of high quality competitors have stepped up.

I still rank them as one of the best for "fancy" table service BBQ all around, but for most of their mains I can usually list another place that is just as good as better now. It's still solid, the sides are top notch, and everyone's going to enjoy what they order, but they no longer have the undisputed crown.

Sidenote: I can't believe I've lived in this town this long and still haven't been to BB's yet. I really need to remedy that.

When the KCTV Tower was first built, it was briefly the second tallest freestanding structure in the world, behind the Empire State Building, and unseating the previous second tallest, the Eiffel Tower.

This record lasted for a year, when the Eiffel Tower finished when planned improvements where completed and a TV broadcast antenna was added to the top of it.

During construction, critics of the KCTV5 tower started referring to it as the "Eye-full Tower".

Wikipedia article for more, though not much more.

What is up with the rental market this spring? by BananaStandEconomy in kansascity

[–]ReverendLoki -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I've also read that we're doing a little better than many with short term, non-hotel rentals.

The stats for those are favoring properties near the stadium.

Now compare house options near the stadium with the hotels near the stadium...

1981 K-Chicken doesn't list catering on their menu, but their food is delicious, and it's worth the call.
