As goes the weather, so will what passes for rioting on the Plaza…
So according to Stanford & Sons main man Craig Glazer who logged more than a dozen years on the front lines in Westport, navigating the party zone’s annual warm weather swarmings of black teenagers and young adults.
At present police say they’ll be at the ready on the Plaza, should the problem revisit this weekend. At the same time, they’re not ruling out that the game could shift to another part of town in a heartbeat. If it does, they plan to be ready. They’re keeping an eye on Twitter and Facebook and asking parents to exercise judgment.

Haven’t we threw enough money down the urban rathole yet? When will the black community be able to stand on its own feet without help from the man. By the way your the man now.

ARE YOU SERIOUS. You refer to young blacks/
african americans as
“social groups”
“the crowd”
if it gets cold “they” wouldnt be out
“they don’t come out”
tell police to “take down the barricades”
so our regular customers…
WTF IS THIS ABOUT. Why are we even having this
discusssion. Read my post on tony’s comments
and this whole things disappears in about
48 hours. Why do we have to do this?
why do we have to put bars on windows…carry
guns to protect our selves…in europe
peopople don’t do this…why are vwe allowing
the criminal elements to force us to live like
this. Why are we afraid to go to p and l…
to walk to our cars…to have to worry about
walking on the plaza? are you guys fucking
serious.
Stop playing games…get serious…
where are the parents…the police…the
elected oficials…we’ve been screwed.
Lets get serious about this and stop playing
games….

and besides…gary lezak’s forecasts are the
worst ever…he’s always wrong…so probably
we can expect 80 degree weather and full blown
riots on the plaza this saturday night.

First of all Jojo – Lezak rules. Better info than any other local weather hack.
Anyway – just wanted to congratulate Hearne on landing that Glazer interview. Don’t know how you do it….

I’ll tell you how Ross. Glazer is Kansas Cities only real “Hollywood” typer personality. He has made movies and does seem to hang out with pretty big stars here and in LaLa land, where he also lived. Hearne jumped on that wagon back in the 90’s. And my God, I think Glazer is the radio voice of our city, every show, every week, comics or not. Hearne and Glazer pretty much seem to decide the social structure of our city. Least they think they do.
My problem with both of them is they are middle aged at best and are both privledged people. Hearne from a wealthy family and Glazer from a famous local family. So they both have viewpoints from Mission Hills. Yes Craig I know you were in prison, tough guy and all that crap, but please you did it while driving a l00,000 dollar sports car, didn’t you?
You two are Starsky and Hutch, old school. Lets find some new voices, like other people from KC that don’t have an axe to grind with the ‘regular folk.’ Hearne see you at the country club.

“…..and asking parents to exercise judgment.”
If most of these parents could ‘exercise judgment’ I bet their kids wouldn’t even be here.

Like to know what Nigro has to say about all this, he is still in Westport.
KCMO staffer
Nigro. Hearne why not get Holy Star in on this, or is she dating, sorry, doing, Glazer now?
Maureen
How could Holly Star be with Glazer, shes way too old, what 34? I was too old at 31. That guy needs to move to Mexico.
Black Barbie
Are you for real? Is Craig dating this Holy Star? I am way hotter than that blonde tramp.
Can’t say
Why don’t we just have a Glazer blog? Since apparently he is where all news springs forth. I know Lezak likes him.
Kyfan
Can’t say, GREAT IDEA.

Hearne,Hearne,Hearne. Talk about beat a dead horse on this Plaza crap. Ok, you told us, blacks are bad, whites are good, we get it. Westport is bad, Plaza is good, we get it. You are rich, we are poor, we get it. Poor little rich boy, needs a new toy.
Lauren
I want to know…
Do you think it’s safe for me to wear my wedding dress to the Plaza this weekend? I bought it 3 years ago, and still don’t have a groom. So I’m itching to wear my dress. Never went to the prom…so don’t have that option.

You will be fine Lauren.
