This is something I can stand behind, or lean... But really, it was quite nice at the All-Star Game in St. Louis last year to be able to walk around the stuff outside the stadium and drink a beer.

I hate to see historic buildings dissapear.  But, let's be honest, this building wasn't exactly on the historic registry.  It was old, I guess.  In any event, if the lot is developed into something more than a surface lot, I won't be as dissapointed with this building's destruction.    I understand...

As a guy who was just accepted to UMKC's Urban Planning program, why did you want to take geology instead of urban planning? Just curious.

Coming down now...

Ebay is your friend...

I bought a 2nd gen iphone for $225. I didn't (and haven't yet) need the 3G capabilities.

I haven't read all of the posts, but I have an iphone and yet have never used the ATT network. I unlocked and jailbroke my phone (really is an easy process) and use tmobile. I've never had a problem with tmobile's service (knock on wood). One note, I don't use their data plan but the iphone gets wif...

Don't mean to revive this old thread, but does anyone have pics of the buildings that were here prior to the irs complex?

I just have one reply...  10 World Series Championships.

That's my thought too, and I play at the bars in Westport fairly frequently.

The bridge is the ASB (Armour Swift Burlington).  It's still used by the railroads, it used to have an upper deck that cars would use, but it was replaced by the Heart of America Bridge.

I'm also thinking that the power plant is still in operation, but I could be wrong.

I bet they have 5,000 actual in the stands tonite.  Great opps for a foul ball.

And it's always games like this that I have band practice... Bah.

I'll be there at 4:30 this afternoon drinking and grilling!  Can't wait, I'm one of those people that just likes baseball for the Americana of it, and I go to have a good time and tailgate. Oh I enjoy it too, I just tend to like other cities because I can hit up a bar before and after the game.  (G...

I find a Royals game is more like a football game.  People tend to tailgate and drink a lot of beer before going into the game. 

Hopefully I'll get to make a trip up to Wrigley for my birthday in September against my Cards.

I totally dig #3 as I just had my wedding reception in that very room!

The Arts Incubator is a cool place.

That's the same deal I had. It was easily my favorite rental ever. The location is second to none. It's uphill from everything, hehe. The buildings(the newer ones) are pretty cheaply built, so they kind of fall apart. The maintenance crew can be a little sluggish getting around to your maintenance ...

I live in a 2 bed, 2 bath in Quality Hill, and I think that it's about $860 a month.  Huge living room too.

Are those businesses located in Northmoor, Kansas City, Gladstone, or Riverside? I'm still not sure, on some things he puts Northmoor and on others he puts Riverside.  Is it reopening somewhere else? I've been a customer for several years off and on. I'm betting he got more business when he was on ...

There were 33 buildings in the housing project

What saddens me about this pic is the density around it compared to now.

Lasus books on the other side of that strip is closing as well... As of May 1st.

Sad, because my father-in-law owns it.

I thought this was obvious?  I'm very picky about my produce (I worked in a Hen House produce section for 4 years) but I shop at the River market for my produce almost exclusively now.  Once we figured out how much cheaper it was to buy it there. When my fiancee (I can only say that for about 24 hou...
