TKC SUNDAY SPECIAL!!! KANSAS CITY PROM SEASON PROVES PERILOUS FOR COUNTRY CLUB PLAZA YOUNGSTER PATRONS!!!
It's prom season in Kansas City and early reviews via social media and sent to TKC warn us that the County Club Plaza might have lost its crown as the premier destination for youngsters celebrating their first night on the town.
To wit . . .
THE FIRST PROM SEASON WEEKEND IN KANSAS CITY SHOULD SERVE AS A WARNING THAT DISASTER THREATENS FORMAL PARTY-GOERS ON THE PLAZA!!!
First and foremost, here's a note on a public safety threat . . .
An e-mail message and KANSAS CITY PROM WARNING from last night . . .
"TKC, started reading ur blog when my current events teacher suggested it to keep up with KCMO and school board issues. Appreciate the take on news that I don't see on tv. Just wanted to let you know that last night was a total disaster for me and my friends when we were threatened over and over on the plaza. All we wanted to do is take a few pictures near the (J.C. Nichols) fountain but as soon as we crossed the street we were harassed and yelled at then shoved by those who seemed like they had been hanging out there all night. I've seen you call the trend a flash mob but it's more like a gang. These aren't just kids either, a lot of the people hanging out there look like they're in their twenties to me . . . Anyway, we barely got one good shot before the girls started yelling at us and then picking on our dates. I kept a cool head and decided it was better to leave before things got worse. That only made all of these people even more angry as they started to yell and even scream our way. By the time we got to the crosswalk a couple of guys pushed my friend in the back and he fell to the ground. Luckily he wasn't hurt and I helped him up. The security guard was a black guy who was really nice and he helped us when he saw we were in trouble. All I can say is that I wish somebody would have warned me things were this bad on the plaza and that's why I'm sending the e-mail as one of your tipsters. Don't want to see anyone else go through this and wish I had better memories from my Senior prom . . ."
And the hits keep on coming . . .
Preliminary prom night reviews don't get much better when it comes to youngster first experiences with find dining on The Plaza . . .
Here's a social media message from one of our younger "friends" who wasn't impressed with otherwise celebrated Plaza service:
"Steak served nearly raw, rude waitress who made us wait forever and very expensive when most of us didn't even order an entree. Do yourself a favor and skip Plaza ######## for prom."
We're withholding the name of the restaurant out of fairness and because waiting on prom kids must be a form of torture for most servers who are just trying to make a living without babysitting middle-class brats.
Finally . . . This metro dad warns us about experimenting with new tech for the prom season . . .
"Uber surge pricing ruined my daughter's prom -- My baby girl loves new technology and wanted to take an Uber to prom rather than going the classic route with a limousine. That seemed like a cute idea and I was glad to help her. Only an hour into the night she sent me a text worried about the tab they were running up because the price she was expected had nearly doubled halfway through her trip.
What is worse than the cost of her misadventure is that she felt uncomfortable with the driver who kept staring at her and her friends and adjusting his dashboard camera to focus on them and staring at my daughter in the rear view mirror. She is afraid he is going to put video of her on YouTube for no other reason but to target her sexually.
I called Uber and reported the incident and they told me the drivers have a right to record the trip for their safety and that of their passengers. I told them that my daughter did not feel safe at all in the car and that will be the last time I use their service."
And so . . .
What have we learned form all these prom complaints from the Kansas City petite bourgeoisie?!?!
PROM NIGHT ON THE PLAZA IS FAR MORE DANGEROUS, COSTLY AND FEARSOME FOR THE NEWEST GENERATION OF KANSAS CITY YOUNGSTERS!!!
While TKC (obviously) missed the prom . . . Our blog community provides this bit of Plaza testimony in order to prevent even more youthful misery and in hopes that this formal Kansas City tradition hasn't been completely ruined.
You decide . . .
Typical.
ReplyDeleteI am not allowing MY DAUGHTER to go anywhere near the Plaza this next week.
^^^^^ Of all the things that are going to happen to your daughter on prom night. An overpriced meal and bad service ain't the worst of it. Sorry dude.
DeleteLulz
Delete8:37 I guess you missed the part about the racist black gangs targeting the white kids who were just trying get to take a picture. It's obvious the blacks own the park after dark.
DeleteCouldn't care less about the prom but look at the trend here, that's what's more important. You have fewer high end luxury establishments. Less local business and more vacant stores. We're coming to the end of the plaza and it's obvious that local businesses are the first ones giving up.
ReplyDeleteOh, the humanity!!!
ReplyDeleteThey were lucky they didn't have to dodge bullets this week. It has been worse than ever this month since the Chief gave up his job and over time work.
ReplyDeletePlaza overrated, never went to anything there except the movies
ReplyDeleteThe Plaza is about as sophisticated and refined as Bakersfield California or Lubbock Texas at this point.
ReplyDeleteWhat's your problem 28th Lubbock?
DeleteThat's a lot of high school drama.
ReplyDeletePlaza is a mess. Especially on weekends. Noise, traffic, idiots, sirens... a total mess.
ReplyDeleteKCPD can't protect you after dark anymore in the Westport/Plaza area. Sad to say it.
ReplyDeleteYour on your own.
ReplyDeleteI'm sure the kids can find something more fun to do than the Plaza. Something and some place the jealous black kids can't destroy like LULZ is trying to do.
Pool your money together and go to Eureka Springs, great places to eat, fun things to do, great old hotels, B&B's, and spa's, AND, they don't look upon jealous black thugs kindly there, so nothing to worry about.
Go ahead and let Mayor Bullhorn destroy the city you're too good for that.
Can't parents drive their kids to the prom? If that is unacceptable can't the kids drive themselves? They are too young to drink.
ReplyDelete^^^ that sounds lame. Lamer than the plaza.
ReplyDeletePlace is a disaster area. Too bad, it was good for the 100 years before.
Went to the KC Film Fest Saturday and when I left at nine the NIGGERS were everywhere. The poor prom kids didn't have a chance. The only ones having a good time were the ones who are being raised by snowflakes, making them to nieve to realize their danger. The Plaza is FUCKED,no return from negro hell. Wheres Bernie Getz when you need him.
ReplyDeleteNegros just being negros
DeleteIf the cops wont take it back the citizens should take it back. If not shut it down and check it off as a lost cause
DeleteWon't never happen ! Need to start having a white night every Saturday on the plaza.
DeleteClassic prom night taking a limo? No wonder your kid is getting pimp slapped at the fountain?
ReplyDeleteMore "benefits of diversity".
ReplyDelete"Steaks served nearly raw". That's how a good steak house should to medium rare to rare kid.
ReplyDeleteWhile TKC (obviously) missed the prom . . . unfortunately, Candice Swanepoel and Jordan Carver had prior photo shoot commitments!!
ReplyDeleteAdults should drastically de-escalate the "fancy prom" phenomenon that has been in full-swing for decades now. There is absolutely no reason for teenagers to be spending hundreds of dollars on clothes, transportation, restaurant meals, etc., in a pretend game of being mature adults.
School administrators, teachers, and parents should put the focus back on participation, school spirit, and community engagement.
A kid taking a limousine to prom is the height of stupidity.

ReplyDeleteI agree. If they want to act like grown ups then they're parents should make them pay for it all themselves and then they will know the amount of work involved to earn the mobey
Donald Trump likes his aged beef well done. Eat your steak like a boot or you don't love America!
ReplyDeleteSome of the above posters POZERS seems to think that it's the prom kids or the parents fault that they are getting mugged by the punk ass Boyz ? How bout blaming the Plaza shit hole hood rats for their ignorant and animal like behavior ?
ReplyDeleteThe Plaza is dead. I say demolish it and build a baseball stadium in its place.
ReplyDeleteLike it!!!!!
DeleteTaubman has ruined the Plaza. They brought in a manager who treats it like a mall. This is just the beginning of the end, it's a shame that a local company didn't buy it. Taubman should fire the vampire bitch before she runs it into the ground any further.
ReplyDeleteNo need to post fake letters from fake kids telling how shitty the Plaza is. We already know it.
ReplyDeleteTeenagers cannot spell for shit and have no idea how to put a sentence together.
Those little gangsters are going to mess with the wrong person.
ReplyDeleteHere's a better title:
ReplyDeleteWe wanted to pretend to be English Aristocracy & the peasants wouldn't leave us alone.
Fuckyou and your mud shark ln The arse just the way you like it
DeleteGolly gee, if only Judy Garland and Mickey Rooney could "put on a show", that'd save the Plaza! lol
ReplyDeletePretty sure your punk insiders were negroes, they have earned that treatment from civilized humans.
ReplyDelete849, I guess you missed the part where he didn't say a word about black or racist. Racist, much?
ReplyDeleteEveryone knows it is blacks. Stating facts does not make one a racist.
DeleteNo Byron, here's a more apt title:
ReplyDeleteWe wanted to pretend to be French Aristocracy and the Black French Revolutionaries tried to rape, plunder, pillage, and behead us.
12:43, he was just pointing out the uncomfortable truth. In denial much?
ReplyDeleteIt's not a big deal.... If you work for KCPD it means Lots of Overtime.
ReplyDeleteLife is Good.
Soon, some folks just might be prepared to take the plaza back with whatever means required at the time, if they care to do so. But I doubt it as rich libtards live down there so now they can just go eat cake.
ReplyDeleteWhere these the hoodrats Tracy was talking about?
ReplyDeleteour last fancy dinner at a steak place on the plaza was last summer. it must have been a coupon night because many patrons were wearing t-shirts. our steaks were cold. $350.
ReplyDeletenever again.
Uh, 11:44, maybe your family's KCPS skolars ook and screech out only ebonics, plus can't spell, so quit BROADBRUSHING LIKE B'lieRON FUNKY!
ReplyDeleteHey, B'lieRON, how about America's teens doing what they have full constitutional rights to do. If they want to spend daddy's money, gift cards from granny, their own earnings, MasterCard's or whatever to "enjoy", "pretend", "piss-away", or "share"--- f*©K'n SO WHAT!!!
Perhaps, Funky, you'll tell your pricey pantsuits pal it wasn't right for her to PRETEND to be presidential, and the PEASANTS in Haiti aren't the only ones who "hatey" her for that fake foundation scam.
Rather than go to the plaza for an over priced meal and black attitudes, I took your daughter to the drive in, fucked her in the ass and came on her tits.
ReplyDelete^^^
ReplyDeleteIf she's over 18. Then it's legal and the only real KC tradition.Save the prom! Show KC some lovin!
Nice top photo of Miss Piggy. Damn it's hard to figure out who is uglier Spanky Amy or Uncle Chuckie. They really need to do some work on that gene pool before the next Farm Aide thing or she could get lost in the crowd..
ReplyDeleteWe ate at the Plaza on Saturday when it was broad daylight. The manager had to unlock the restroom before a customer could use it. That tells me how much the Plaza has changed.
ReplyDeleteGetting dressed up, taking a limo, having a nice dinner, etc. has been a prom tradition for years, and as 3:38 points out, there's nothing wrong with it. Having said that, I think there are enough nice restaurants throughout the metro (including the burbs) to make the Plaza unnecessary. Even though it used to be THE destination for a special evening, it's lost that designation for some time now.
ReplyDeleteKILLA CITY SAYS NIGGA PLEASE IF YOU DONT LIKE IT WHITIES THEN GET THE FUCK OUT THIS IS OUR CITY
ReplyDeleteWhy would anyone still live in kc!
ReplyDeleteHey they have a street car that everyone just loves
ReplyDeletePlus, 10:56, there's that fab Plaza where diving for the bushes is so fun.
ReplyDeleteThe Plaza is a distant memory.
ReplyDeleteWould never go there now.
Those blackies mess up everything get out of the Plaza if you have some sense and wits about you especially if you're fresh white teenagers from the 'burbs. You are ripe for the taking.
ReplyDeleteIt's official! Whites in need of safe zones are now RASHITZ! Must be the black privilege thing.
ReplyDeleteWhat Plaza?
