Re: OFFICIAL - New KCI Terminal

There is pushback to streetcar at every turn. NextRail, the Urban Rail election, to even the UMKC expansion have all had varying levels of pushback. The next issue we are going to have is: "We built it and now are done for 50 years." Additional Convention Center Hotels, renovating Bartle ...

Re: Denver

Drove through Denver last week on I-70. I counted at least 7 if not 9 construction cranes on the North, Northeast side of Downtown. I felt quite jealous and never felt our City Government is failing us in development so badly. Whether it is true or not I do not know. People flee California due to co...

Re: Three Light

Thank you for the pics. I am diabetic and had a stroke so, my ability to go downtown from the Northtown is limited. The pictures you send make my day. I so appreciate you! You are indeed a Gentleman!!!!!!

What my EGO would build at the block North of T-Mobile center is embarrassing, even to me! (If I only had the money!)

Re: Freight House Podium Project - 20th and Walnut

I remember always dreaming many years ago what it would be like if the area between downtown and the crossroads were to fill in and create more of a single cohesive downtown. Maybe that's finally starting to happen. This looks like a great project. Have the same Dreams, GRID. That dream includes an...

Re: Two Light - 14th & Grand

I don't think 3 Light has died, but maybe DColeKC can corroborate that. I'm pretty sure I would've heard if it had been killed off. Very much still alive with future plans to go beyond a 4th residential tower long term. Keep in mind that Cordish also has hundreds of bars, clubs and restaurants loca...

Re: OFFICIAL - Loews Convention Hotel (formerly Hyatt)

nice to see business lining up even before it's open. This should help create a ripple effect to help the other new & established hotels in the downtown through Plaza area. This will lead to extra dollars into the local community and taxes revenue from simple sales taxes on purchases. Love to s...

Re: OFFICIAL - Waddell & Reed - 14th & Baltimore

I give it +5 points for no tacky rooftop signage. Hopefully they are including some architectural lighting. Agreed. Rooftop signs are glorified billboards and are especially egregious when they distract from architecture As a counterpoint, I always enjoy visiting other cities and learning from sign...

Re: OFFICIAL - Loews Convention Hotel (formerly Hyatt)

Considering the location and being next to a freeway, the big boxes of the convention center etc, it seems fine to me as far as urban street interaction. It's a business convention hotel with its own giant ballroom box and parking garage. I honestly think it looks pretty good for what it is and the...
