Here’s the funniest part: Police said Tech, whose real name is Aaron Yates, had an outstanding warrant for failing to appear in court. The original charge, police said, was “placing illegal banners” in Blue Springs.

On gentrification and Troost Avenue
Some of you may know about my belief that cities will once again turn inward (urban) — again — instead of outward (suburban) within the next thirty years. Troost Avenue is one street that I believe will not only become a dense thriving corridor again, but will ultimately become the rich part of town again.
I grew up on 75th and Troost and have witness the tail-end of the neglect...

Letter to The Pitch: Why Nadia Pflaum Deserves a...
Dear The Pitch,
For a journalist that does so much, Nadia Pflaum, seems to be more machine than human. Standing at a whopping 5’3” — close enough — she can quite possibly be called Kansas Cities most comprehensive journalist. She dabbles in the very contrasting worlds of music, fashion, politics, and law. In the past two weeks for The Pitch, a weekly alternative...

Call it privelege, call it progress — whatever. Mark my words, this is the PAC will be the building that represents the physical manifestation of Kansas City’s desire to re-invest in the arts. I believe this city can be a capital of the arts. More on this later…

I called it before anyone; The album would be wack! Either he’s just fallen short artistically or he strategically made the album sh*tty so that he wouldn’t have to maintain the quality of previous releases. This also solidifies the crowd-favored “comeback”. I happen to believe the album is wack on purpose. The album artwork sucks, the beats suck it seems too orchestrated,...
