Marriage today (for 1/2 of men at least) is exactly what I say it is:  a way for a man to finance a woman's spending predilections and finance her offspring.  nothing more. [/quote] Hey now, that's your offspring too.  There is more - how about someone to keep you company, be there for you when your...

A 3-2 victory, #1 in the league, wooohoooo!!!! Make sure you cast your vote to make the wizards a part of the all stars team. Vote on their website..www.kcwizards.com

Ha..that poll cracks me up.  But here's my list of things I love about KC (its much more realistic too). 1.  Country Club Plaza 2.  Hassle free traffic (most of the time) 3.  First Fridays 4.  Pretty boulevards 5.  Squeaky clean suburbs 6.  Low cost of living 7.  Convenient airport 8.  Having all fo...

Currently renting an apartment in Overland Park, been here for 2 and a half years.

I put my vote in for Wyco...somewhere along i-70 way east of the speedway (so it could be inside 435) would be nice. isn't there a ton of undeveloped land there or something like that?

Whatever you do DON'T build in south Johnson county!!!  Theres already way too many apartments here but get some density inside the 435 loop please.

How about the property taxes? My guess is that the gap there is just as big. I'm not sure if its true or not but several years ago my mom told me people there have their property taxes included with their mortgage payment.  I have family in Santa Ana, Lake Forest, and El Toro,  and I think their mo...

1. I hope Federated does not close Famous Barr or even change it to Macy's in Downtown StL. It'd just be nice for StL to at least be able to hold on to that name in the city. I don't give a rip what they do with Jones Store. Macy's will actually be quite a step up for Jones because they're not the ...

Wow...another mall huh. They just gotta have those malls with every new development!!! Why don't they just bring in a Gap and Old Navy at every single street corner?!?!? That should do it

This will probably start a flame war but I sometimes wonder if part of the problem is that some people with degrees expect to get in somewhere higher than the ground floor rather than start lower, gain experience, and work their way up. My current career started 15 years ago with a job that consist...

I just apply and apply, send resume after resume, and never hear so much as a peep from anyone. I hear reports of a tepid job market in KC compared to other American cities; is there any validity to this? I would think that the development boom occurring now would be indicative of the overall econo...

Speed traps and the city... I-635 cutting through KCK from Mission to the Northland is essentially an engineered speed trap. One day I was moseying along at a comfortable 89 miles per hour (and still accelerating) when I got clocked by some jerkoff with a radar gun standing on top of the Metropolit...

I respect the opinions of many of the people on this forum and I'm in the midst of a personal struggle, so I thought I'd share my thoughts here. I apologize for this only being loosely development related. KCP, feel free to lock it up if you find it inappropriate. As some of you that have been payi...

When I worked in public accounting, late 90's, we pretty much hired interns every year in our office. I assume they did the same thing in all of our offices. This was with BKD in Wichita, and there happens to be a large BKD office here in KC. Since you're only in your second year I'm not sure how m...

When I graduated from UMKC over 30 years ago with accounting emphasis most of the accounting classes were taught with the idea that one would go to work with a CPA firm. That still the case? If the previously posted suggestions don't pan out try a part time job with a company doing accounts payable...

Here's my story. I'm about to finish up my 2nd year at UMKC. I currently don't have a job but seriously need to get one soon because I don't have that much work experience. Realizing that I lack experience, I'm afraid I'll end up with some entry-level cheap labor job when I finish in 2-3 years. So, ...

Count me in too!!! I don't like their women's clothing but the men's line is pretty nice. I want both boutiques though...Kenneth Cole New York and Reaction, just gotta have both.

Olathe is too far for most folks.
Let's get some infill development here...build this son of a gun inside 435.
Not halfway to Lawrence and no further south than 119th.
I say at I-35 and Antioch in Merriam or
435 and Shawnee Mission Parkway or
119th and Renner or
next to the Sprint Campus.

AE and AF both suck. I never shop there and don't even know where the Plaza AF is at!!! I say replace it with Zara, Kenneth Cole, or Aldo Shoes.

I don't know too much about this fiasco but she got a pay raise she doesn't need. [-X But then again, she's trying to create some life on campus and make us a leading biological sciences institute...so maybe she isn't so bad after all. We need someone to move this university forward!!! If change is ...
