Completely forgot about Conrads. My wife says the Reuben sandwich is great and they have some sort of golf practice range in the back for hourly rental. Haven't been there yet myself.

Hy Vee plans a gas station on 291 Hwy near their entrance and a Capital Federal Savings is going in next to Starbucks. In the Crossroads shopping center El Cerro Grande has closed and will become The Hacienda. Near Downtown Liberty the Mill Street Deli (which was awful, in my opinion) is now going t...

I heard the Leawood location does not sell wine. Is that true?

I don't know what you're talking about. I think that was Dave. I give up. You're correct. It is a fantasy with absolutely no historical basis that despite occasional fluctuations, the long term trend is for the price of gasoline to increase. Reduced supplies coupled with increased demand from India...

I heard that water was over Missouri highway 224 near Wellington. This closes the Union Pacific River Subdivision and puts all KC-St Louis rail traffic on the Sedalia Subdivision, which will probably affect Amtrak River Runner schedules adversely.

I heard the former owners of the Chinese joint hadn't paid rent for a year and stole all the equipment when they moved out. Even took the sinks and toilets, left only bare walls.

Spiral escalators would be cool anywhere! Is there such a thing?

Here are a few others:

Some are steam-powered and some are diesel. Any of them are a fun diversion.

and here it is: EPA: Greenhouse Gases Threaten Public Health and the Environment / Science overwhelmingly shows greenhouse gas concentrations at unprecedented levels due to human activity You seem pleased.

The bowling alley is good for burgers, but it'd be nice to have a decent drive through burger joint.  I wouldn't call Hunan cheap, although they're not expensive.  They're good for what they are (sit down resturant, carry out, delivery), but not quite drive through cheap.  Ming dragon let's you car...

Completely agree.. Sonic. Taco Bell. Mc Donalds ...Blah. They're all the same after awhile.  Jimmy Johns will be a nice addition, but what we need is a good fast food burger place (With a smidget of quality) I'm not a big fan of Five Guys, & their always too packed to be "fast food"))...

The IHOP is going in next to Lowe's and Texas Road House

There are several underground facilities like this in the KC area. It does seem a little creepy to drive into one but once you're in the offices and warehouses inside, you don't notice it so much. Worlds of Fun and Oceans of Fun are undercut by one of the largest in the area.

Worthless trivia: The Hannibal Bridge is operated by a 7 horsepower electric motor.

yeah, seriously.  :lol:  obama has jesus flores's blood on his hands because he is taking some time to consider the course in afghanistan!  we haven't been at war over there for, oh, eight years or anything.  5,300+ americans and untold numbers of iraqis and afghans have died, but if you question t...

LOL. I thought all you conservatives were sick of his talking. I'm fine with him meeting with his generals and actually planning to do something. Enough with the speeches and comments, get to work Mr. President. Yeah right, while narcissist Obama was enjoying "Latin Music night" at the Wh...

I just finished My Antonia by Willa Cather and she talks about the express train that used to run from Omaha to Kansas City. It apparently ran several times a day in addition to a regular whistle stop route. What an awesome and romantic time to live. I rode those Kansas City to Omaha trains a hundr...

Did anyone else see where Chick-Fil-A was giving away free sandwiches over this last weekend to promote their opening tomorow? Jeff, How were the prices at Five Guys?  I've been wanting to try the place, but I'm not sure what to look forward to. Is it any better than Red Robin?  I was hoping for th...

Chick-Fil-A opens tomorrow in Liberty, looking forward to it.

I tried out the Five Guys Burgers across the street. Never again, way too expensive for what you get.

I went to a city forum one night to ask about this problem and  I could tell from the answers that they were embarrassed and pretty much clueless about how to maintain uniformity on the whole system. Get this - each intersection has a target board (they are the little diamond-shaped things on the po...
