I don't mind showing my age here and noting that when I was in 8th grade even the most bad-ass wannabe gangsta liked the GnR tune "Sweet Child 'O Mine". It's a song that united cultures and still holds up over time. After the bridge, my favorite part of the tune is when the Axl and the band ask: "Where to we go, where do we now?"

TKC READERS ARE WONDERING WHAT'S GOING TO HAPPEN TO SOME OF THE KANSAS CITY OLD SCHOOL COUNCIL DENIZENS?!?!?
Let's review after TKC KICK-ASS TIPSTERS already broke news of what Council Dude Terry Riley will be doing for the next few weeks earlier in the day . . .
Beth Gottstein is riding off into the sunset with her new love, a better understanding of the way the world works and an impeccable resume. She could do anything but I know that WHATEVER she does will meet with great success.

Here's Jim Giles hanging out with Rockhill Homes Association President Jim Wanser not so long ago . . . We don't have specific details on what he's doing but don't be surprised to see him hanging out in Council Chambers. One rather AWESOME TKC TIPSTER recently remarked, "He seems too confident for a guy about to lose his job."
And then there's Sharon Sanders Brooks . . . SSB suffered a surprise defeat but there's no doubt she is a resilient lady and will find a place somewhere . . . With her stunning choices of hats during the campaign and her penchant for showing off underwear . . . Maybe a career in fashion is in order?

EVERYBODY IS WONDERING WHERE WILL GLORIA SQUITIRO GO?!?!
She wasn't a member of The City Council but her words were equally important and she wasted a lot of their time . . . Read Mayor Funky's finance reports and notice that he has incurred a debt to her of 30k for her duties as a campaign worker. She put him closer to getting out of the Primary than I would have ever suspected . . . So maybe she stays in politics or finishes her book.
In Kansas City politics almost anything is possible . . . Except for changing the status quo.
