WEDNESDAY, MAY 29, 2002 "So, it's come to this: Trailer-court gambling is on the horizon in downtown Kansas City, Kan. If you've been by Seventh Street and Ann Avenue lately, you know it's a hotbed of activity, with work proceeding at a feverish clip on a "Class II" casino, fashioned from what the Wyandotte Tribe of Oklahoma calls "mobile building units." Nice try on the euphemism. But a trailer is a trailer, and . . .[a]lthough I live in Jackson County and this casino won't be my personal problem, I don't like it one bit. In case you haven't surmised, this is going to be, by far, the cheesiest casino in the Kansas City area." Get the Story:
