We're making EXCELLENT progress in exposing a local company and showing how THE ROASTERIE IS STOMPING ALL OVER THE RIGHTS OF A WORKING-CLASS NEIGHBORHOOD in the name of branding.
Roasterie no longer wears a white hat among Kansas City small biz and so much racism and elitist hateration to defend their muddy brand only proves my point.
Still . . . Propaganda persists and it's worth watching this clip so that we know our our enemy. Take a look:
ROASTERIE PLANE - The Local Show
Pretty images don't make the act of blighting a neighborhood any less insidious. No matter how long it takes and by means of more than a bit of grassroots organizing that's already underway, the plane will eventually come down.
DEVELOPING . . .
I realize it is all subjective, but I don't get the hate for that plane.
ReplyDeleteIt's way cool.

What the hell is that supposed to mean?
Are there too many white coffee beans?
LOL!
ReplyDeleteThe plane is too big. Would have been better placed in a park and not in the middle of a neighborhood.
The plane is a eyesore. But it made the area look 1000 times better. I'm going to buy some of their coffee today. Should be good.
ReplyDeleteAnd hows that downtown KC boycott workin for ya, Tony?
ReplyDeleteIn order to make a boycott effective, you have to be willing to spend money in the first place.
ReplyDeleteTKC fail.
Don't you mean welfare class neighborhood?
ReplyDeleteIt isnt even close to houses. It sits off the road, by commercial businesses. I really dont get it. What is far more garish? A plane on a building or buildings in disrepair painted bright day glo orange green and yellow?

ReplyDeleteIt is way easy to defend this lunacy when it is in someone else's backyard and the constant hideousness and vulgarity of it doesn't shine in your own front window.
ReplyDeleteI think this issue will be resolved when the surrounding neighborhood and it's residents get rid of this display of white privilege by any means necessary.
Important Factoid for TKC commenters:(yes, there are people who work hard and have built and taken care of their houses living within a half block of this crap)
Thanks, Tony, for keeping this in the public eye!

GET RID OF IT!!!
ReplyDeleteIs there anyone that actually takes TKC or these Cry for Attention
ReplyDelete'boycotts' seriously? Get real people.

ReplyDeleteDid you know that the wooden shoes the Dutch used to wear were called sabos, or is it sabots? I'm not sure, after all, I'm just a stupid hillbilly.
that is a great looking historic airplane. i'l love to live next door to it! except of course i don't like in that shitty part of town. quit your bitching people, this is way better than the giant billboards everywhere.
ReplyDeleteI think the plane is cool.
ReplyDeleteThe plane is horrible.
ReplyDeleteShame on you Roastarie. Your coffee is elitist mud.
The plane overlooks the businesses of Southwest Blvd. It's a GREAT marketing idea by the owners.
ReplyDeleteMy parents were in town last week and I took down to the Roasterie to see the roasting/packaging area and to buy some coffee straight off the line. They were awed by the plane over the building.
ReplyDeleteThat plane coming down has about as much a chance as Tony and Alonzo getting real jobs.
I live two blocks from this business and can see the plane from my house. My only question is: Why do people with the most hair-brain ideas, always show up in my neighborhood? None of these gimmicks ever last very long and it ends up as trash in the neighborhood. If space permitted I could show a long list of failed ideas that all started on the Westside. Just add this one to the list.
ReplyDeleteTheese clowns at the Roasterie had best remember who not to piss off... You, Blogger Biggie :)
ReplyDeleteEes white preebeeledj at eets wurs, Tonys. I no likey too mush the whites that haf moofed eento oestsai naiborhood. They are mowing and peecking up their trach too much. some of theese whites eben have been fixing there porshes and painting and making theengs nicer. ees pura mierda, guey. I no move here from Augascalientes to leef in a nice places. I like the trach not the whites.
ReplyDeleteGracias por escucharme,
Joselito del "oestsai"
7:22am, you are not funny, you are just another Roasterie douche!
ReplyDeleteI thought 7:20 was funny. I guess people can screw up a neighborhood if they don't, um, fit in.
ReplyDeleteI like the plane. Maybe they need to paint some tits on it to get tony to love it too.
ReplyDeleteTits would be nice
ReplyDeleteThe only people I see defending the stupid plane are marketing nerds and racists.
ReplyDeleteBut i will only boycott if TKC gives free gift certificates somewhere else.
The plane seems sort of sophomoric to me. Of course the question is did they consult the neighborhood before they did it? Some people do not understand living "WITH" neighbors.
ReplyDeleteHUBRIS was originally a statement concerning the penis.
agreed with above....some peeps do not acknowledge the concept of living with others, hence the racist comments on here,,and the murders that inspire the comments,,,,and a stupid blue LED blinking plan that shines like the hollywood sign and makes your bedroom window feel like a sleazy motel...Nuff said,,,oh yea i do got love for mexicanos de mejico but its actually mostly indigenous tribes of mexicans located in the westside, mexicanos live anywhere in kc, even the killing fields of east troost
