Rather than give money to po'folk or hobos . . . A dedicated crew Kansas City activists are hoping online denizens will spend their cash on a local legacy and new x-mas lights.
Take a look at the "Power The Tower" online movement . . .
Mission Statement . . .
"Inspired by a reawakening of pride in our city, we are called to reinvent one of the city's icons: The KCTV Tower. Since it debuted as the tallest free standing tower in the world in 1955, it has served as the centerpiece of our skyline, yet is underappreciated as an icon. Inspired by light around the world, we are recreating our city's centerpiece as public art and also reclaiming its potential status: the tallest public art installation in the world. Every dollar helps fund the art installation and lighting of the tower.
Go ahead Kansas City, turn me on. – The Tower"
And so . . .
The group has raised a paltry $1,700 online so far . . .
Of course people are entitled to spend their cash on WHATEVER they like for X-mas . . .
However, history tells us that the illuminated tower didn't do much for the surrounding neighborhood back it its glory days.
And while bright, shining Kansas City lights are nice . . . Some online denizens might not agree that this is a local priority.
So far the proponents of this measure are keeping their conversation low key in order to avoid criticism . . . Locals looking at the tiny strand of 120 lights might not know about the plan to brighten the landmark to 5400 color bulbs . . . They're a long way off but this considerable effort is certainly worth a peek tonight.
You decide . . .
I'd be happier keeping my money.

ReplyDeleteShut it. This is actually doing something to make KC better, unlike the "denizens" of this blog.
Idiot City
ReplyDeleteLet KCTV pay for it. How is this making KC better 9:08 ?
ReplyDeleteFuck Killa City and this blog.
ReplyDeleteIf you make the tall tower a historical structure you could then install electric heat trace to protect people from ice. On historical structures you get help for heating and cooling upgrades. You could then get rebates for changing the current bulbs on the tower to LED'S. Get with the owner and do it.
ReplyDeleteLevis has a line of hipster skinny jeans called DENIZEN.
ReplyDeleteThey are available at Target.
The official jeans of TKC should be the BAD IDEA JEANS from SNL.
TKC sucks. But when you family tree is hookers and janitors what do you expect.

ReplyDeleteI gave all meh bitcoin to Phoni Bones so she could gits her muddmonkeyz back from the state. Free... Whatever her little runts names are.
ReplyDeleteThis reminds me of when the Young Rethuglicans gave one million dollars to the zoo, because they HAD to spend money, & they had to do it in a way that didn't help anyone. Because that would just be enabling (yeah, that's the ticket.)
