Credit where it's due . . . The Kansas City toy train doesn't is chugging along with declining ridership numbers, solid voter opposition and so sign of help under the Prez Trump Administration.
Still, local faves Victor & Penny played for an adoring crowd this afternoon and everybody seemed to have a great time whilst enjoying their unique musical offerings.
While this might confirm some suspicions that the streetcar is just touristy frou-frou . . . For awhile, it provided some welcomed local entertainment downtown.
You decide . . .
TKC, you are missing the point. This is nice but they could perform on a bus and save the taxpayers $150-million and counting.
ReplyDeletelet's not forget those higher sales and property taxes throughout downtown that do nothing but push small business away.
DeleteLooks like fun. Don't be grinches.
Delete^^^ It's all fun and games until somebody has to pick up the tab.
DeleteReally was a good time. Bought one of their 45s and plan on listening to it tonight. A great idea for the streetcar!
ReplyDeletewtf a 45...you are not listening to Fleetwood Mac
DeleteGreedo for the win and honest answer of the year.
ReplyDeleteShould have played Eric Clapton “Train to Nowhere”
ReplyDeleteThe days are numbered
The nights don't matter now
Your time is no longer counted
This train has got you now
With some bulk, can't get off
The pistons fates for you
There'll be no friends with you now
The ride is just for you
Train that goes to nowhere
You can ride
You can ride
I wonder how much the city has to pay these people?
ReplyDeleteVictor & Penny much better than anything I've seen at P&L.
ReplyDeleteTROLLEY to no where land is sucking major $$$$ out of the tax payers that pay for the trolly in KILLA CITY . HOMOSEXUALLY abounds metrosexual TRANNY BITCHES music will not be saving the train wreck !¡!!
ReplyDelete10:03 Fleetwood Mac has long been dismissed as uncool by the small-batch pourover coffee crowd; and yet I posit that their album Tusk is a bold statement by a band that is really feeling their experimental and dare I say psychedelic oats.
ReplyDeleteIf you can't pack stadiums this is one of the few options left.
ReplyDeleteYou can't take a NYC subway anywhere without having to put up with panhandlers spouting sob stories, off-key singers and ghetto acrobats, all trolling for tips. Is that where the trolley is headed? Maybe, if ridership ever increases to the point where that would be profitable.
ReplyDeleteThe Millennial hipster streetcarters aren't listening to these singers since they'd have to take their earbuds out of their ears for a few minutes.
ReplyDeleteWhen the novelty wears off, turn the streetcars into entertainment venues.
ReplyDeleteWord has it he inappropriately bumbed her with his guitar, but the KC railroad is going to settle out of court after he agrees to have his nads removed.
