Apologies. Yes, I mistook the capped 670 for that old parking lot.

Looks fine to me. Wish they weren't preserving the surface parking behind it.

Re: OFFICIAL: Port Authority Riverfront Project

Looks cool. Reminds me of the southern riverfront in Portland though with less density and a little less height.

Re: Sprint sale rumors again

I don't think the HQ would be moved necessarily because it'd be closer to Japan but rather for the purposes of attracting talent.

Re: Sprint sale rumors again

Interesting strategy there. I knew Son would try to replicate his extremely aggressive growth and acquisition model from Japan, so we'll see if it gets through regulators.

If it does go through, I agree -- I think the HQ will move to the West Coast (Cali or Seattle).

Re: LiveKC! But DriveWV! (or Bannister)

Cerner wants the cheapest real estate, the most tax incentives, and the biggest parking lots it can find in the KC area.

Re: What are your five big things for Kansas City?

I think you guys have covered the most important points. The only thing I'd add is just collaboration/policies/incentives/etc. that ensure KC continues to grow as a tech center. I think that will be crucial to the region's future economic base.

Sounds like a good idea. I think some custom graphics and whatnot would be nice. If I could make a suggestion, maybe you guys could look for a responsive theme to fix the tablet/mobile issues, something like this or this .

Re: Blogs about KC visits

As some have argued, a man is merely the sum of his experiences. For many people who have grown up in the country, city life is never quite a satisfying experience and is even sometimes revolting. It doesn't make them dumb rednecks.

Re: Sprint sale rumors again

Masayoshi Son seems to be an incredibly intelligent man, and he knows the US well having lived and studied here for 8 years. I am interested to see how this acquisition -- the largest foreign acquisition ever for a Japanese company -- will play out. It could be a very interesting deal.
