“No matter what side of Stateline you call home, or even if you are just visiting, I hope I can help you discover KC.”

And Now, Our Feature Presentation…
Devan’s Dozen
What can I say? Most people know me for my top twelve lists. Why Devan’s Dozen? Well for one, top ten lists are way overplayed. Secondly, I am just a sucker for alliteration. Devan’s Dozen seeks to rank the best in Kansas City food, drink, culture, and entertainment.
flashbaKC
Every once in a great while, I hop in the Wayback Machine and visit the people, places, and events that shaped Kansas City. flashbaKC essays typically create a bridge between the stories of this city’s past and places that you can explore in the present.
Sportsball
Here in Kansas City, we don’t have beaches or mountains or nationally recognized landmarks. What we do have is our sports. From the heyday of the legendary Monarchs to the present-day Chiefs, Royals, Sporting KC, Current, and all the rest, this is a city that loves its teams. A sports fan for as long as I can remember, there are few things like pulling up to a bar or sliding into a text message thread to discuss some Sportsball.
Fountain City Foodie
I love being a tourist in my own city. A large part of that is exploring Kansas City’s lush culinary scene. I am very passionate about supporting KC’s local, small businesses. This is especially true of restaurants, diners, bars, breweries, distilleries, coffee shops, food trucks, and eateries. Fountain City Foodie is where I share these experiences.
Better Know A DistriKCt
I know what you’re thinking. Did this guy rip off the name of a humorous segment from The Colbert Report and then use the city’s initials to create a pun that will make everybody groan? You bet your sweet behind I did! Better Know A DistriKCt is your guide to the array of unique neighborhoods and districts in the metro.
Soapbox
We have all heard the expression to “get off your soapbox” which of course, dates back to the days when speakers would elevate themselves above a crowd by standing on a wooden crate. While this is a personal blog site, Soapbox pieces are those where I take a moment to dust off my wooden crate, step up on it, and grandstand about an issue that I am passionate about. In other words, this is my version of an editorial column.
Fountain City Superlatives
Much like the superlatives in your senior yearbook, Fountain City Superlatives (FCS) represent the best that Kansas City has to offer in a given category. This section allows me to highlight different establishments and the specific areas where they excel.
#nomaDD
I have a severe case of wanderlust. Sure, I love Kansas City. How can you not? That doesn’t stop me from traveling as often as I can. When I do hit the road, #nomaDD has long been the tag I travel under. Similarly, this hashtag adorns writings that take me away from the Kansas City area.
Kitchen Drawer
Just admit it. We all have one. That random drawer that is the catch-all for those items that don’t quite belong anywhere else. After all, condiment packets, rubber bands, receipts, pens, and spare change all need a home. These are the disKCovery pieces that don’t quite belong in any other genre, so they end up in the Kitchen Drawer.
