THEY'RE BACK!!! DOWNTOWN KANSAS CITY RAT INFESTATION REDUX 2022!!!

The cruel Summer of 2022 just became a bit more challenging for residents in and around the loop.

COVID numbers are rising, the American economy confronts historic inflation and a challenging road forward, monkey pox isn't just a scary but funny stand-up joke . . . And now . . .

THE NUMBER OF DOWNTOWN KANSAS CITY RATS IS CLEARLY ON THE RISE AS VERMIN POUR OUT ONTO THE STREETS AMID CONSTRUCTION SEASON!!!

Here's the word from a denizen of our blog community . . .

"Just look down at a stoplight in the morning or at dusk . . . Those ain't friendly squirrels, they're 8 pound rats pushed out of the sewers and ready to feast. I don't want to blame anybody, it's not just the homeless or really slipshod road repaving projects . . . It's everything. Maybe even a sign of more people coming back into offices. But the fact is, this is a big city problem that very few people want to talk about . . . Even if its right in front of them and maybe showing up at a few of those new outdoor cafes."

Fox4 reported last year that KCMO is one of the "rattiest" cities in the U.S. and it seems that we're backing up that reputation in 2022.
