Re: Trees in KC (ongoing)
Speaking of the politics of trees... We used to live south of the Plaza years ago in the Wornall Homestead area. When I was growing up years ago, my parents made the mistake of planting a maple tree in the outer lawn (the area between the sidewalk and the street where property rights are iffy). The...

Re: Trees in KC (ongoing)
No need to worry. This species is well tested. Sure, you might see a couple seedlings pop up, but they will be rare. The similar Amur Maple is far worse at re-seeding itself.

Re: Trees in KC (ongoing)
Ten white oak trees planted recently on Paseo between 28th and 30th. Another 143 scheduled to be planted in major effort to reforest Paseo. Good effort. Ward Parkway got trees like this a decade ago. Watch the trees disappear, though. A majority of new tree or shrub plantings I have witnessed on th...

Re: Bannister Mall/Cerner
I was in town over Christmas. I see this multi billion dollar development has spurred the development of a Quik Trip... Maybe after the another four buildings are built, a Wendys will go in. Love how you can't get within a mile of the office towers unless you work there. This could have been the de...

Re: Black leaders seek to rename Paseo to MLK Blvd
Naming a street after this civil rights hero was a pathetic move anyway. He deserves a great park or monument (the current park is very weak). If the on again, off again Washington Square Park ever happens, I propose naming it after MLK. That would cause more city leaders to push it forward and wou...

Here is a new study of three sets of three adjacent neighborhoods in OP. The study looked at '50s-'60s era SF residential neighborhoods that had at least 15 home sales in the past 2 years. Each compared neighborhood was in the same location, with similar house sizes and styles. The goal was to compa...

Re: Westport's fate post-P&L
Question: I seem to recall a mention here that St. Luke's recently requested to have 42nd Terrace vacated between Washington & Wornall. I can only see something from 2003 on kiva. Am I mistaken? Is it already vacated?

Re: Prariefire at Lionsgate - large mixed use development
Well now it's mid-September and still no groundbreaking for Phase Two. I wonder if the troubles with the Cinetopia theater have affected the commercial prospects of the development? Supposedly the theater is only making about half the money they expected to, due to AMC having the clout to run some ...
