What about the Hall match Friday morning?

Until Legends with Nebraska Furniture Mart, Cabellas, KC Speedway, Soccer... what brought folks to Wyandotte/KCK was Sandstone Amphithetre (Providence Medical Center Amphitheatre now) and Lakeside Speedway (Stock car racing). If you want to stay near Legends. You will need a car rental for travel to the wrestling venue. The Chateau Avalon has themed rooms. Ate at Bob Evans (ha) and had a castle room the night before flying out to my first vacation with the wife. https://www.chateauavalonhotel.com/contact-location Great Wolf Lodge is out there to... woodlands themes... swim park. https://www.greatwolf.com/kansas-city

The KC location being in "Misssery" shocks most as they assume KC is Kansas. I live close to the stateline and spit eastward. Lets call it spite for having better wrestling programs. West of Stateline is nice Overland Park and East Stateline is a higher crime KC until you hit Lees Summit. I lived in KC surrounding area for years and was an adult before learning several parts of KC actually nice and safe in both states. Something about having my friends beaten up at 14 near the haunted houses shaded my view for the next 10 years. My first week of downtown work, I was 'lit up' for asking what part of KC I could move my pregnant wife to, if there was such a safe place. Woof did I learn quickly to swipe my thoughts left before speaking. I had ~100 responses from being chewed out to being given a map with good/bad neighborhoods clearly marked. Safe to me is leaving you possessions unsecure without risk of being robbed... and walking around by oneself at any hour without fear of safety. On the neighborhoods app, within a 5 mile radius, my neighbors West complain about coyote spottings where as East I read a report of a high school son being kidnapped out his bedroom window! Remnants of poor civic planning's impact on roads and neighborhoods.

Oh yea PINBALL! https://www.kineticist.co/post/pinball-kansas-city

Its more of if you want to got to Legends, KC Plaza, Oak Park Mall, Martin City, Overland Park, here, there... so much is 20-45 miles apart. And there is plenty to do near the venue as well as you mention.

Unless staying down town near the venue, you want a rental car or prepare to pay for uber everywhere. Getting around is unideal through public transportation. But I live in the KC burbs... so... public transporation knowledge is limited...

The Negro League Baseball Museum is great! However, I did have someone drill a hole in my truck's gas tank and steal gas from the Kansas City MLB Urban Youth Academy parking lot next door during daylight. A homeless man followed me closely, was in my bubble, and intimidated me from my car to actually waiting in line at the original Arthur Bryants BBQ. Avoid anywhere along the Prospect corridor, The Paseo, Troost, from downtown south to about 63rd St and Gregory Blvd. Avoid Swope Park at night, along Independence Ave east of downtown, and Cliff Drive. Look up Trip Advisor on where to go and stick to those places. Northland / Liberty / Rosa near the airport is nice. All of Overland Park is safe.

Martin City is a peculiar place near SE Overland Park. Jack Stack BBQ is great. Pizza and brewery is okay. Dos De Oros is my favorite hole in the wall / authentic Mexican place anywhere. 16 tacos for $35-$40. Pick four different meats. If you like Dunkel beer and sausauge, check out KC Bier in Prairie Village. Check out either location of Grinders. One is in KC and the other in the middle of a subdivision in Overland Park. Get the Philli Cheesewiz Cheesesteak or Chili bomb your pizza slice. Some might like Twin Peaks in Overland Park. The KC river market is a neat venue. Young people that like young people energy and expensive drinks will hang out at Power and Light. Tour the Boulevard Brewery or The Roasterie Coffee Company. Legends for expensive shopping. KC Plaza for fine dining and shopping. There is frisbie golf, hiking, ziplining, Snow Creek, lakes, bars... Wall climbing and ninja course options. Escape rooms, Break Thru Guitar Center. Many options.

Because it is his best option to compete for himself and his country. Pursuing his competitive goals in the face of adversity should be respected.

Bah James is ultra-right-wing and uses AI to put fake words into people's mouths. Look at all the video edits. You are brainwashed. /s And action... 5,4,3,2,1

There are people that disagree and are likable nonetheless.

Look at the government growth in the late 60s/early 70s. https://usafacts.org/data/topics/people-society/population-and-demographics/our-changing-population/?endDate=2022-01-01&startDate=1980-01-01 https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/USGOVT

Absolute bullshit that Griffin did not get his near-fall points on Surtin in the Big12 quarterfinal. Crazy match after that to sudden victory. Crazy scramble in sudden victory and Surtin wins.

Kudos to the first two responders. Honesty is a pleasant surprise from individuals who insult the people they disagree with rather than just their ideas. I half expected they would call others out without understanding the first shot fired versus firing back. I was wrong.

Follow the links in this article and check out the aerial photos to see that blue-roofed homes were also destroyed and other colored roofs remained. https://apnews.com/article/fact-check-conspiracy-blue-items-maui-wildfires-118319149774 This article shows a red metal-roofed house that survived despite everything burning down around it. https://www.npr.org/2023/08/24/1195331310/red-roof-house-fires-lahaina-hawaii "We removed five layers of asphalt from the roof," Millikin said. He added that the new metal roof included an air pocket to allow heat to dissipate. At the ground level, they removed all vegetation along the house's dripline and added a stone buffer—a step taken to thwart not fires but termites. I have not listened to Biden's mumblings, but he could be referring to that story. There are enough elements of truth to believe the blue roof story. Blue protection from lasers is real. DEW is real. Powerful people burning out the poor to acquire more property is a repeat of history. The USA is having issues with DEW on land so a space execution seems premature. https://www.gao.gov/products/gao-23-106717 Outerspace DEW warfare is in development and perhaps China has that technology. But why target Hawaii when it would trigger a massive USA clapback? https://thediplomat.com/2017/01/how-china-is-weaponizing-outer-space/ The "laser" photos in the Hawaii DEW stories have tracked back to incidents outside of Hawaii. https://www.reuters.com/article/idUSL1N3A41XX/

MAGA is a tricky word. Some, like me, appreciate the MAGA slogan, but this is not the same as red-hat MAGA. I've never met a red-hat-wearing MAGA, but I know many people with TDS. I don't believe I've met anyone who likes Trump, but I know many who respect his policies and business background. TDS is a blue uncontrollable contagion. MAGA is contained.

I'd love to have both GWN and a troll in a big, quiet room with an EQ test in front of them. Opening line: Troll -41.0

Coaches are not free, and folkstyle is high school wrestling. But why do girls wrestle freestyle, unlike the boys in college?

...have some compassion for the sidler kid that doesn't help out on the school projects

I can play this song on the GuiTar.

Tweet: 1 point red for unsportsmanlike behavior from blue. Inner drive, resolve to succeed 'in spite of', and the capacity to resist impulses are 90% of what makes success open to anyone in America. This is otherwise known as motivation, determination, and willpower. If you do not like your life, then [continuously] choose to change your life. ...but climate, money, food, time, knowledge, skills, competency, access—you name it. These are masks for "I don't want to." But X-man has resources and privileges, and it's unfair to those with less. AND? Take that weak mindset out of here. An accountable mindset does not exclude helping others and having compassion. I love helping others achieve. I hate feeding an undriven lifestyle to those that don't care to better themself. Outside of health issues and 'acts of god'... with rare exceptions, anyone can succeed if willing to sacrifice. You know what your true desires are when you go get it or die trying.

Please read Will's post in full to expand one's thinking of how travel influences more conservativism. "(Will) I firmly maintain that true global travel will turn anyone into a raging conservative. It did me." As for me personally, travel has make me more open to some social services but still largely a bill-of-rights conservative. Been to 49 USA states and about 10 countries.

Deep Thoughts This observation is overarching and not directly related to this post. It does not disrespect the sad story of the eventual student death. OP's tendency to perceive others as victims is intertwined with maladaptive coping mechanisms. We've seen its impact on perceptions in a wrestling forum; imagine the effect in person. OP likely harbors unresolved conflicts and anxieties, projecting them onto others, hindering their ability to confront their own challenges. The cycle of negative thoughts is endless, fueled by confirmation bias and shielded from contradictory evidence. It's essential to acknowledge that not everyone sees themselves as victims, and many feel slighted to be perceived in that way. Let's focus on fixing the mindset. People move forward 'in spite of' obstacles rather than fail 'because of' them. Please refrain from labeling everyone with challenges as victims and avoid characterizing contributors as bigots. Contributors may simply be frustrated with takers and redistributionists, who have the potential to become contributors if they so choose. My personal time has been encroached upon since Feb 10th, and I've quite literally worked 90 hours weekly through the early morning to meet a deadline. I missed family obligations, community commitments, an annual friend fishing trip, and lacked a colleague's assistance. Despite my requests and efforts, I couldn't secure more time and missed the deadline. I shared a sincere apology with senior leadership. I am not a victim of an evil corporation or a profit-driven society. Nope, I chose gainful employment and to fulfill my responsibilities. I don't seek sympathy; it's about maintaining an accountable mindset and making self-directed choices in my responses and actions. Choosing to see victimization in everything, all the time, is a negative choice. It's as simple as altering your mindset. 'In spite of' this challenge, what will I choose to do? This mindset doesn't eliminate sympathy, empathy, or helping others. Remarkably, it leads to better outcomes and more significant opportunities to give back. A cognitive-behavioral therapist can assist OP in identifying and changing negative thought patterns, leading to improved well-being and coping strategies. A victim heart will read this post and instead of gratitude, will believe they have been bigoted by the bigot brigade.

Wow.
