TKC BREAKING AND EXCLUSIVE NEWS!!! SPRING RAIN SHUTS DOWN KANSAS CITY STREETS AMID OLD AND BUSTED WATER AND SEWER SYSTEM FLOODING!!!
Kansas City learned about the flooding on local streets amid generally light spring rain FIRST on TKC last night.
Right now we have more confirmation and EXCLUSIVE news . . .
STREETS THROUGHOUT KANSAS CITY ARE SHUT DOWN THIS MORNING THANKS TO OUR OLD AND BUSTED SEWER, WATER AND STORM DRAIN SYSTEM!!!
More . . .
ON THE WESTSIDE AND THROUGHOUT MIDTOWN KANSAS CITY THE (LIGHT) RAIN IS FLOODING AND SHUTTING DOWN AT LEAST A DOZEN STREETS!!!
One more . . .
PARTS OF SOUTHWEST TRAFFICWAY ARE SHUT DOWN AND A GREAT DEAL OF THE BOULEVARD HAS BEEN UNDERWATER SINCE LAST NIGHT!!!
In our relentless pursuit of the scoop we decided to take some pix . . . Also, because it was on the way home from getting gas station coffee . . . Despite a tragic detour . . .
That's right, we nearly drowned in order to bring you d-bags FIRST news . . .
Funny thing . . . They just finished fixing this bridge at a cost of MILLIONS not even two years ago . .
This scene is being repeated throughout Kansas City as our water infrastructure is CLEARLY BROKEN despite so much cash going toward the toy train streetcar.
And here's why it all sucks so badly . . .
- Kansas City Keeps Raising Taxes For Water And Sewer
- Water Bills Around Kansas City Are Spiking At Record Levels
- Still . . . The Local Water And Sewer System IS CLEARLY Worsening GIVEN That Light Spring Rain Has Put So Many Streets Underwater
- Finally . . . Mayor And City Council STILL REFUSE To Let Missouri Audit The Water Department Despite Some Serious Signs Of Mismanagement.
This is a REAL PROBLEM not just TKC gripping . . . We expect other newsie outlets to come on board with this one . . . Given that it's raining in JoCo too BUT they don't need scuba gear or a canoe like KCMO residents.
Developing . . .

The Rain And Your Tears.
Just call your 3rd District Council member TKC. They'll be right on it.
ReplyDeleteYou're kidding, right?
ReplyDeleteYou can drink coffee at night?
ReplyDeleteOh yeah, this blog wouldn't get written without it. One of these days QT will be a sponsor considering how much cash I've given them 89 cents at a time.
ReplyDeleteIs everything okay at the P&L District? Don't the RNC know about this.
ReplyDeleteWasn't this a proposed streetcar route?
ReplyDeleteWelcome To Detoilet
ReplyDeleteLOL!
ReplyDeleteYou guys are too much!
Hey its not like the residents of the westside haven't crossed rapidly moving water before.
ReplyDeleteIt's really too bad that the GOPers aren't still here so they could have a chance to look behind the fake movie sets they saw last week and take a peek at how KCMO really works.
ReplyDeleteThe Venice of the plains!
Choo! Choo!
ReplyDeleteWhy can't the state come in and force an audit of both the water dept and the aviation dept?
ReplyDeletePay your bills. Taxes . . . . . .
ReplyDeletedas wha happens when niggers run things. all fucked up! but ma pockets be full of LOOT!!!!
ReplyDeleteLook at the brighter side. All the vomit stains will be gone in the Power and Blight District. It'll smell better, too. For a while.
ReplyDeletehmmmmmm......world class......Killa City
ReplyDeleteTKC BREAKING AND EXCLUSIVE NEWS!!! RAIN EQUALS RACISM FOR MY READERS!!! LET THE DOWNPOUR BEGIN!!!

ReplyDeleteWhat do you call a person who hates, dislikes everything about where they live, including government, business, and people who have a different faith or skin color AND yet continue to live where they are and spent time on a stupid blog complaining about their lot in life.
Answer, VICTIMS.
Someone smarter than I said we all have the choice to either be a director of our destiny or a victim.
Point being, it's your choice.
Damn snivelers. Hurry, get a picture of a local woman who your group can disparage and disrespect while demeaning (ironically) those who are without the same point of view.
Friggin losers.
sorry, "victim" or "victor"
ReplyDeleteF-Bombs from the deep thinkers either way.
10:02: Good post, but no place is perfect, so there will always be something to dislike.
ReplyDeleteAnd Mensa boy checks in at 8:44 with his usual pithy, irrelevant, and incoherent post, but it's in ALL CAPS to emphasize how important he is!

RAINDROPS
by A. Nony Mous
Raindrops
Gift of life from heavens above
Falling earthward in droplets of love
While adults scurry and run for cover
Children delight in their alluvial lover.
Cleansing the soul
In a baptism from nature
Renewing their faith
To praise all living creatures.
Be it sprinkles or downpours
Remember something
A raindrop is love
And love's a good thing!
Hm, I wonder why someone would get so defensive over streets flooding? Perhaps it could be because they are on the transportation committee and have diverted sewer, bridge, and road money away from crumbling neighborhoods in order to build boutique transit in downtown KC?
ReplyDeleteThere are at least a half dozen spots in Northeast that are flooding; some of them have been in disrepair for decades.
I'm so old I remember when the storm drains worked.
ReplyDeleteDing ding ding comes the trolley
ReplyDeleteLooky on board is Slie James
And Russy Johnson and Ol Jan Marcuson
Sucking up the taxpayers pay
Dong dong dong goes the trolley
It's free to ride every dayyyyy
Taxpayers don't use it but they sure as hell will pay for it so hipsters can say LOOOOK AT MEEEEEEEEEE!
Its time to force the city to do an audit. Can the voters do it by a referendum ?
ReplyDeleteI hear ya on those water bills. Hell, I just paid mine and it was kinda high.
ReplyDelete$38 for 2 months. That's outrageous!
Nobody cares what your trailer home gets billed for water. People with actual homes pay a princely sum. $100/month.
DeleteBREAKING!!! TWO INCHES OF RAIN IN EIGHTEEN HOURS A "LIGHT SPRING RAIN"!!! LOOK AT ME!!! NOW I'M FREAKIN' KATIE HORNER!!!
ReplyDeleteResolution 140258 - Reducing appropriations in the 2013A Water Bond Fund and the 2012 Sanitary Sewer Revenue Bond Fund in the total amount of $23,683,540.07; appropriating that amount to the Downtown Streetcar Phase 1 account; and recognizing an emergency.
ReplyDeleteAyes: 12 – Wagner, Davis, Ford, Johnson, Curls, Glover, Marcason, Circo, Brooks, Taylor, Sharp, James, Jr.
Nays: 0
I would suggest a mission statement for Tonys KC.........
ReplyDelete"A home for negative people who take enjoyment by standing in judgement of others wh have opposing views. Plenty of space for misogynists, racists, supremacists, and haters that find fault in EVERYTHING. As a bonus, you don't even have to identify yourself, so cowardness is accommodated.
@1002
Cowardice would be correct, are you aproduct of KCPS ?
DeleteAnd Mensa boy's baaaaaaack!
ReplyDelete12:33: And yet here you are!
ReplyDeleteThink missed point numbnutz, then you will be on the right track.
DeleteWill the trolly have bathrooms?????
ReplyDeleteYou only have to read this blog once a year. The comments never change.
ReplyDeleteSee you next year
DeleteNot true at all, because of so much flooding the cum guy has cleaned up his act!
ReplyDeleteDid mommy put your golashes and rain suit on for ya fat boy?
ReplyDeletekc infrastructure isn't the priority. Only tourists count.
ReplyDeleteDon't mind what I say...I love Mensa Boy. My mouth and ass are his pussy whenever he wants to them. I only wish I could get pregnant with his love child. If he cums in my ass I STILL can't get pregnant, can I????
ReplyDelete3:32: If you think you can get pregnant from anal intercourse with Mensa boy, you're the perfect couple, and your love child may well become mayor of some small town in Nebraska.
ReplyDeleteDon't forget to wear your rubbers.
ReplyDeleteYou do realize that the water system, the sewer system and the storm water system are three different systems, don't you?
ReplyDeleteWe need affirmative action and diversity in the Water Department. They need to hire some white people.
ReplyDeleteHey guys, my asshole is itchy. Why can we have money for streetcarz when there not enough money for me to have better turlet paperz.
ReplyDeleteAlso, there a trickle of water in my basement! Its like Katrina!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
SLy James does not care about CK-ian people!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
CK = Kampala, UGANDA!!!!!!!!
also: boondoggle.
Real talk?
ReplyDeleteNope. Except being an itchy asshole. MB making his hourly visit to TKC.
