North Kansas City Compute Store

As busy as we are and need to be a multi task and get things done and running as we want them to run, sometimes we find ourselves in the mouse trap spinning our wheels.

I wish I knew more about this topic or the other and be able to be the knowledgeable person all the necessary know how for all the solution and for everything I need to have done each day.

To I have the all the time I need to do it all? NO!

One the things I like to play around is my lap and my desk top PC and last but not least my Blackberry.

Many friends and colleagues think that I am the high tech Realtor in Kansas City Metropolitan that knows it all. My answer to this complement is, "They are wrong" they think I know it all because I may know a little more than what their computer skills are.

Fact is that I am a licensed REALTOR in Missouri and Kansas assisting clients and friend to buy and sell homes in the Kansas City Metropolitan. I should spend my time in being a REALTOR instead of a Computer specialist.

It took me a while to understand this until I found those great guys at the Computer Store in Kansas City MO of highway 169 and Englewood exit. View the store pictures below. See how nice and clean this computer store is,

It is spotless, these computer store guys are doing a fast and great job in repairing PCs and lap tops at a very good price.

You can also buy used PCs, Laptops and Macs Key Boards Monitors and all you need for your home and office computers and network.

All in a very good condition and price. The Computer Store Guys are my friends, I trust my PCs and Lap Tops.

Give them a try you will like them as well as I do.

According to the store manage Derek, they have some expansion plans and looking forward to opening more stores in the Kansas City metro.

Below you can see how the repair workshop looks

For the 13th year the Gladstone Summertime Bluesfest will be this weekend at the Oak Grove Park in Gladstone.

Oak Grove Park is located at 76th and N. Troost.

What's really nice about this bluesfest is it is FREE... that's right free and parking is only $5.00

This festival has grown to over 15,000 and attracks folks who love the blues not only from our community but surrounding counties and states.

This week the Gladstone City Council hammered out the details of its ban on smoking in most enclosed places.... places of employment and public places within city limits. This includes Gladstone's thirteen parks.

The ban does have some exceptions for instance: bowling alleys, pool halls, bars and restaurants that seat less than 75 people as long as they post a sign that says "non-smoking areas are NOT available."

A decision to my knowledge hasn't been reached as yet... but watch for a decision to be made shortly.

In 2005 Gladstone voters approved a 39-cent property tax increase. That tax increase will begin showing up in your personal property tax bill this year.

The City Council has voted to set the city's 2008 tax levy at 93 cents per $100 of assessed valuation. So in other words if you buy a new car that cost $25,000 you are going to pay about 32.00 more in personal property taxes beginning this year.

This voter approved raise in taxes gave Gladstone leaders the authority to set the tax levy no higher than 93 cents per $100 of assessed valuation. Up until this year Gladstone council decided to stay at the existing tax rate of 54-cents per $100 of assessed valuation.

The reason for the decision to raise it is unexpected expenses which includes the May 2 tornado which cost the city more than $357,000 in payroll costs and repairs to city-owned facilities. In addition salt for road treatment went up $75,000 and fuel cost for city vehicles went up $71,000 over this past year.
