Latest Breaking News

now live in LV. When I was there, tho, the divide between the haves and have-nots was deep. We got all kinds at the library on 83rd St, but you could see the self-shuffling even in there. And certain persons were to be shunned should they come close to the public computers. We knew there were people at the library who came in to escape the weather, etc. And many of us low-level employees were sympathetic. But the library PTB? I dunno... they had to act a certain way to maintain their position, IMO. The one thing I did find that gave mea bit of heart was the head of the library at the time had the saying "Don't let the bastards get you down" written in Latin on a plaque on her desk.

I lived in an apartment off 83rd street... all of us were of the lower and middle class. May have given me a mindset that's not necessarily true. But then I keep thinking of that Olathe councilwoman (?) who was championing women NOT having the right to vote, and this was at least a decade ago.

Now that I'm older, I'm glad I moved to a smaller city. We've got the dyed in the wool R's around here; lots of retired officer money, to be sure. But those times when I drive into the city to head to MicroCenter or somewhere, I'm just gobsmacked by how much Overland Park has changed and grown. 95th street just seems like everything is built on top of everything else. At my age now, it just seems scary.
