Two of my favorite Kansas City businesses now have live, fully-functional, well-designed,websites. Check ‘em. And if you’re in the market for great coffee or a Vespa scooter, make a visit in person.

What I Want in Kansas City: Light Rail, a Vespa
The latest issue of the KC Urban Times makes an argument, albeit a mostly emotional one, that KC citizens should vote for the latest Light Rail Proposal on November 4. I think you could build a more compelling argument by bringing in some environmental and economical statistics and $$ figures, rather than calling for KC to lose its “cowtown mindset” (haha)–nevertheless, I am on board with the new public transport deal, which is arguably the first one that’s actually been feasible. (The KC Star has a helpful article on the Light Rail issue.)
I think Light Rail, slated to run from Vivion Road (North) to 63rd Street (South) would help move Kansas City’s downtown renaissance forward. Call me an optimist.
And while I’m on the topic of things I’d like to see happen downtown, let me say that it’s high time I acquired one of these:
Perfect for getting around downtown, amazing fuel economy…and would probably bump my cool factor up a notch too. Clearly, I need to make some connections at Vespa of Kansas City.
