Zack Greinke Awarded Cy Young

Tue, 17 Nov 2009 20:06:18 +0000
Congrats to Royals pitcher Zack Greinke for winning the Cy Young Award. Agreed, Greinke is a phenon pitcher, but, my only question is...how does a team that hasn't made the playoffs since 1985 (sic) have a Cy Young award winner?

Slip, Sliding Around the Kansas City Metro....

Tue, 17 Nov 2009 01:19:43 +0000

This morning was the first snow fall of winter 2009...the commute is always slow when the white stuff comes down, so expect delays and be careful!

You can count on one thing during the winter when you live in Kansas City, freezing rain, ice, and snow--usually accompanied by horrible road conditions. From up-to-date road conditions to live City Cams--check out one of these helpful links that can help with commuting and traveling in and around the KC Metro.

Kansas City this Weekend...

Fri, 13 Nov 2009 15:25:06 +0000
This should technically be the last weekend before a blizzard, but with 70 degree temps, I think we're safe. Check out 'Wicked' at the Music Hall, 'H.M.S. Pinafore' at the Lyric and the 74th Annual Ararat Shine Circus. Don't forget Kale Van Leeuwen's solo show at the KCAC, celebrate 50 fine years with Barbie at the Toy and Miniature Museum, and Bon Bon Atelier's holiday open house.
For this and more, check out the Kansas City Weekend Guide.

Kansas City Mavericks Hockey

Thu, 12 Nov 2009 19:49:13 +0000
Kansas City has always had a love affair with hockey. The NHL Kansas City Scouts hit the ice at Kemper Arena from 1974-1976, and the IHL's Kansas City Blades made a repeat performance at the same arena from 1992-2001. Sold out NHL exhibition games and rumors that an NHL franchise would play at the Sprint Center left Kansas City hockey fans hoping for a comeback, and left them thirsty for the slapshot.
It's been over eight years since a pro team has played the lines in Kansas City, and this weekend, the Kansas City Mavericks will face off in the 5,800 seat Independence Events Center, and Kansas City hockey fans couldn't be happier.
Kansas City Mavericks take on the Wichita Thunder tomorrow night (November 13th), tickets start at $13.
Get the scoop on the Kansas City Mavericks here.

Kansas City Fall Leaf and Brush Pick Up 2009

Mon, 09 Nov 2009 13:36:55 +0000

Judging by the leaves that are piling up in my backyard, it's time to start mowing, mulching and bagging ASAP. If you're like the Sharp household, we usually don't know when the fall leaves and yard waste are supposed to be picked up. Usually, I just look to see what the neighbors are doing...but by then, it's either too early and I haven't raked up the fall leaves or too late and my leaves sit in bags for weeks.

Here's the handy guide to the 2009 Kansas City Leaf and Brush schedule which looks to be starting in some neighborhoods this week and go throughout December.
