The Triple Threat

Posted on August 22, 2012 by Alexander Ryan Rhoades • 2 Comments

History is a little like a panther. A totally awesome panther that leaps out at you from the most unexpected places and mauls you with mad knowledge. I was attacked by the history panther this past weekend when I visited Prettybird in Carrollton, Missouri. Being a rural Midwestern town, there’s only a handful of people … Continue reading →

Hail to the Chief

Posted on June 27, 2012 by Alexander Ryan Rhoades • 1 Comment

Way back in December, one of my earliest posts on Rhoades to Madness was my excitement over seeing Honest-to-Godforsaken Abe cutting a swath through the vampire legions on the big screen.

Joplin Prevails

Posted on May 22, 2012 by Alexander Ryan Rhoades • Leave a comment

At 5:41pm on this day last year, the city of Joplin, Missouri was nearly wiped off the map by a tornado. I was safe at home in Kansas City, blissfully unaware that my hometown, the place I was born and spent the first five years of my life, was being laid to waste. When my … Continue reading →

Chief Massasoit

Posted on March 1, 2012 by Alexander Ryan Rhoades • 3 Comments

This is the statue of Chief Massasoit that stands in front of the Winstead’s Diner in Kansas City, Missouri and faces the Plaza. For those unaware, Massasoit and his Wampanoag tribe were the first Native Americans to forge an alliance with the three-month-old Plymouth Colony. In fact, they are largely responsible for keeping the clueless … Continue reading →

Silent Running

Posted on February 21, 2012 by Alexander Ryan Rhoades • 2 Comments

Life, of course, intervenes. It has been one week since last we spoke (and by “spoke,” I mean I hurl words at you from a computer screen), and the reason for that is simple, if not entirely acceptable: I had stuff to do. And my unwillingness to write on my 30th birthday certainly put a … Continue reading →
