Bravo TV star West Wilson reflects on growing up a Kansas City Chiefs fan
Bravo TV star West Wilson reflects on growing up a Kansas City Chiefs fan This week, Chiefs Wire's Ed Easton Jr. spoke to Bravo TV's Summer House star West Wilson about his partnership with Captain Morgan Sliced, growing up, and attending Kansas City Chiefs games at Arrowhead Stadium. "I was very much born into it. My dad's family is from Western Missouri, so my dad's from a small town called Waverly in Missouri. It's about 40 minutes east of Kansas City. But yeah, my dad took me to Arrowhead when I was two or three, I've been going to Arrowhead since I can remember," said Wilson, "Going to 'Gates Bar-B-Q' before games with my dad and my brother. I don't even remember my first Chiefs memory, to be honest, but I was just kind of like the classic little boy who grew up with his dad and his uncles watching Chiefs games and yelling at the TV. But the Chiefs didn't win a playoff game until I was in college. The Chiefs were not good; It's wild that we're in a place now where people ask me, Are you bandwagon or new? And I'm just like, Dude, you guys are all insane. The Chiefs had fans before Patrick Mahomes, which I think speaks more to it. We went because Arrowhead is the best place ever. There is barbecue before games, and my family is from there, so I will always show love." Wilson is teaming up with Captain Morgan Sliced to launch Play the Slice, a campaign about turning golf's imperfect moments into something worth celebrating. He's bringing the crew vibes on and off the course, leading content all summer, and showing that a slice and a Slice go hand in hand. He continues to bring those same vibes, attending Chiefs games at Arrowhead Stadium. "There's no, like, my favorite place to be ever is Arrowhead, the current AFC Championship game. We're lucky, we've had a lot of them recently. But I get goosebumps walking into the stadium, and just the energy. Arrowhead is—again, I'm biased—but you can't be anywhere better. But I think I fully embraced the villain role this past year," said Wilson. "I hated the (New England) Patriots in high school and college. So like, I get it to a degree. I just started getting so much s*** for being a Chiefs fan that if they win this game, I will post a picture with my middle finger that says, 'womp, womp' on it, and people can deal with it and be upset. In retrospect, I probably had about 30 comments on that post after the Super Bowl was over from people going back to troll. Arrowhead is an experience; I hope anyone gets to experience it. I've been lucky to have 20 of them in the last five years, but I love it."

This Kansas City neighborhood ranked as one of the most affordable in the US, study says
Is Kansas City really affordable? Well, it is home to one of the most affordable neighborhoods for renters in the United States, according to one new study. Joybird, a blog and online shopping website for home decor, analyzed rental listing data by neighborhood across the 50 most populated U.S. cities by finding the lowest and highest average rent costs. The blog then compared each city's most and least expensive neighborhood to the local median income from the American Community Survey to find the rent-to-income ratio. Kansas City's Broadway Gillham neighborhood was the fifth-most affordable neighborhood in the country, according to Joybird's data. The neighborhood spans from Broadway Boulevard to Gillham Road through 31st Street and West Armour Boulevard. Notable businesses inside the neighborhood include Costco, 241 Linwood Boulevard, and Gates Bar-B-Q, 3205 Main St. The average monthly rent in Broadway Gillham is $1,016 and the rent-to-income ratio is 15.27%. The standard is 30%, meaning no more than 30% of a tenant's gross income should go to rent. The most expensive neighborhood in Kansas City is the Crossroads, spanning from Broadway Boulevard and Oak Street through Truman Road, West 22nd Street and East 20th Street, near Jack Stack Barbecue's Freight House location. The average monthly rent in the Crossroads is $1,874. Here's how the rest of the top 10 most affordable neighborhoods in the United States compare: Milwaukee – Clarke Square, average monthly rent of $905 (14.10% rent-to-income ratio) Minneapolis – Whittier, average monthly rent of $1,168 (14.74% rent-to-income ratio) St. Louis – Dutchtown South, average monthly rent of $970 (14.88% rent-to-income ratio) Jacksonville, Florida – Mid Westside, average monthly rent of $1,023 (15.93% rent-to-income ratio) Cincinnati – West Price Hill, average monthly rent of $1,040 (16.03% rent-to-income ratio) San Francisco – Tenderloin, average monthly rent of $1,740 (16.34% rent-to-income ratio) Indianapolis – Near Northwest Riverside, average monthly rent of $1,067 (16.43% rent-to-income ratio) Louisville, Kentucky – Old Louisville, average monthly rent of $951 (16.56% rent-to-income ratio) Detroit – Durfee, average monthly rent of $1,018 (16.83% rent-to-income ratio)
