Looks fantastic really

Westport Café is the right vibe for Westport. It's also one of my favorite restaurants. That along with 303 and the 'French Quarter' places on Main are all good 'grown-up' places to have in Westport. Seems like there used to be more shopping, wish Ale House could go back to being a music store. The ...

Probably because we don't have enough development to discuss unfortunately.

Ya know, because of those damn communists at KC Tenants and those new liberal energy codes KCMO adopted and...oh wait...

just kidding!

Could be a badass perch for the Royals Stadium. Access would not be too easy tho.

Those expansive man-made lakes never do much for me. They smell bad sometimes. Yes, seems very dated.

At this point, I think the Chiefs are better off in KS. I have conceeded that there is no stopping the continued migration of KC's economy and culture to the KS side. What 'culture' is moving to Kansas from the Missouri side? I don't think we have lost any cultural institutions, artist, or anything...

Probably not without taking away people's property. And you know that would not go well...

Most people I know in Midtown voted NO. We all want a stadium downtown, we just don't want it in the Crossroads. The East Village still makes the most sense. Like KC_Jawhawk said, that area may be desolate now, but the stadium could change that. We don't always have to locate new things inside areas...

The Carmen Building was nominated to the City's Historic Register at Friday's Historic Preservation Commission meeting. It goes to city council next. The owner of the property claimed they want to build a 'very nice' 15-story apartment building on the site. Developer is from Lenexa. Said something a...

Yes!

Anyway back to Austin, I was just saying that policies such as ending minimum parking requirements, eliminating single-family zoning and allowing up to three homes on each residential lot have helped encourage development which resulted in a small decrease in housing costs. I don't see either of th...

One major thing is the PIEA that is in place to support any arts-related business district. https://kccrossroads.org/crossroads-arts-piea/ "The Crossroads Arts PIEA is a tax abatement program in the Crossroads Arts District specifically designed for properties with arts and cultural uses, inclu...

travis and patrick opening a steakhouse on the ground level facing Baltimore and soon to be cap - 1587 Prime Hope they do OK. Seems to be kind of a saturated market in KC. It will compete directly with the place in the P&L District. I feel like our high end (expense check) steakhouse market may...

Mahomes and Kelce are bringing a swanky new steakhouse to the Loews Hotel. Looks really nice! https://www.msn.com/en-us/travel/article/patrick-mahomes-teaming-up-with-travis-kelce-to-open-new-restaurant-in-kansas-city/ar-BB1jTHFv?rc=1&ocid=winp1taskbar&cvid=4de42c72f5404255beffbdacd5a0832a&a...

Well, that's uninspiring. Appreciate the density, but the massing and acres of surface parking are rough for creating a neighborhood. At least the buildings front the street with parking 'hidden' within the block. What do you expect? Structured parking? That would be way too expensive for this type...

What if the new Royals stadium included a large art gallery that faced Grand? It could be programmed and open all year. Some of the art could be sports related, but I think it would be cool to be more diverse than that. Why not create a space for Green Dirt and maybe some of the other displaced busi...

I feel as though many of the SFHs around 39th could use replacing. I’m not saying a new 2+5 but at least some walk ups or row homes. The housing stock is not always in great shape. similar to north plaza in that regard Leave my beautiful neighborhood alone! I don't see what needs replacing. I am re...

22nd is not an easy street to have good frontage on in this exact spot. There is a big grade change here.

This proposal looks nice. With all the modern new houses nearby I like to see this contrast. It's right by Belger Crane Yard Studios. Good location!
