Dave's Of Our Lives


Okay the title is a bit of a stretch. My apologies to those allergic to bad soap opera puns.

The Kansas City Star is reporting that one of the potential tennants for the Power & Light District might be Minnesota-based Famous Dave's Barbeque. Don't get me wrong, Dave's has pretty good barbeque but is the Cordish Company really that out of touch with our Kansas City heritage of considering ourselves the barbecue capital of the world?

Famous Dave's features St. Louis Style ribs! I didn't even know St. Louis did barbeque, let alone their own style. So the theory is that people will go to downtown Kansas City to eat St. Louis style barbeque made by a restaurant from Minnesota?

Maybe they'll put an Oakland Raider's Official Merchandise store right next to Arrowhead!

If lightrail comes back on the drawing board. Are you going to support or go against it ?

That's too complicated a question to answer in a comment section about barbecue. Send me an email and I'll respond or keep checking back and I'll blog on that topic eventually. Thanks for checking out the site Howard!

Is there any way to change this? Because seriously, anyone who cares about individuality and local culture would fight this. It's the sort of "sell-out" that hurts the credibility of any city. We'll look like another "me-too" with nothing to offer. A flyover city.

Thanks for reading Scott. I haven't heard much lately about tennants in the P&L District. Since development rights belong to Cordish, they can more or less do as they please when it comes to tennants. Hopefully they will see what a misstep they are taking and correct before it is too late.
