Re: Fantasy Retrofits: Barney Allis Plaza

Does anyone know who designed Barney Allis? Or Ilus Davis? Or the small plaza to the south of the Federal Building? I'm asking because of the similarities in design. I feel like all three were designed to make sense to people 20 stories up and not to be pleasant to people on the ground.

Re: OFFICIAL: Power & Light District

"People always want the law to be what they want and not what it is."

And, today, we have a Supreme Court that has no problem making that 'want' come true for themselves.

First political thing I've posted on here in 20+ years. But, these are desperate times.

I'd have to say none were killed by KCT.

They could have proposed policy changes that would work towa...

Why would the Authority agree to this? It makes it look like they just want to be done with the riverfront project and will accept any offer that will fill space.
