Re: OFFICIAL - Loews Convention Hotel (formerly Hyatt)

I get it’s probably meant to feel comfortable and non-threatening in this way but god damn this whole hotel is antiseptic

Re: Renovations of apartment buildings along Armour Blvd.

The city council better not play games with this. This is great infill and that intersection is depressing at the moment

Re: Bike Lanes

I drove down Armour today and already saw 5 cars parked in the bike lanes. Because Kansas City just has to Kansas City. Richmond VA last night: https://pbs.twimg.com/media/DdmclFOUQAARJ-c.jpg RVA and KCMO are eerily similar cities. I remember noticing a lot of doppelgängers to Kansas Citians when I...

We all know that the new bridge will be anything but iconic in design, and thus a huge point of moaning and bitching if it's named after MLK..
Please, your honor, make sure the bridge is iconic!

Re: Troost developments

It’s pretty telling that the NIMBY neighborhood associations care more about parking than providing economic mobility for east of Troost residents. Fuck off HPNA.

Also MAC properties is such a game changer. I wish other developers approached development like they did.

Re: 3rd & Grand to be redeveloped as TOD

No offense to any of you who are boomers but the values of that generation really need to step aside now.

Also, why do you all still let Darlene derail these threads?

Re: UMKC Conservatory of Music considers move to downtown

I hope the lot south of the Kauffman PAC ends up as something worthwhile but knowing the absurdity of KC it will stay a grass lot for the next decade+

Re: Six Light

Jfc ST, calm down. No need for the aggression. It’s obvious what the solution is. We need to tear down One and Two Light and start from scratch using limestone and sandstone with Art Deco bas reliefs, multi colored windows and then make the towers 50% affordable housing and 50% class A office space ...

Re: Westport

It's amazing what disruption can do.

Suddenly my garage was full of dead mice who had climbed into every nook and cranny an...

Re: Phase 2 streetcar to UMKC

This shit is ridiculous. These people don’t even live in the city and they’re trying to block improved transit for the urban core because they don’t want to pay some extra taxes. What a load of shit.
