Slow News Day Trivia: What KC-MO Movie Theater Was Evacuated Briefly?



I
f you answered the Plaza's Palace Theater you win the STAR's coverage of this more-or-less non-story that we had but didn't feel it important enough to post.


Oh- I HAD the story AND the graphic ready if the call amounted to anything- which it did not- but here goes anyway:

At exactly 1:11 pm Sunday afternoon- a "1st-Alarm" of seven KC-MO Fire companies reponded to the Palace theater in the 500 block of (West) Nichols Road on the report of "smoke in the theater."

At 1:15 pm after Pumper 32 had arrived- they report "a furnace problem"- specifically- a "malfunctioning furnace motor"- but no fire.

The theaters were evacuated for about 15 minutes as a precaution- firefighters removed the smoke and the patrons returned.

No one was hurt and the incident was very minor.


VERY minor.

And unworthy of a blog entry, I'd say. Are you actually in television news where all things on the police scanner are newsworthy?

Wow.

So AM radioman you post a comment bitching that a minor event is too minor to make a blog post about. So that makes your comment what? More insignificant than a mouse fart?

I was of the opinion that ANY post is worthy of a "blog."

I'm sure worse drivel than that is posted many times daily across the blogosphere.
