Re: Columbus Park Redevelopment
Anyone hear anything about these townhomes going up? Foundations have been poured, ETA for completion? https://compasskc.kcmo.org/EnerGov_Prod/SelfService/#/plan/b368290b-a694-48ab-b4bb-a088698fccf3 https://www.google.com/maps/@39.1110457,-94.5710605,3a,75y,132.23h,89.9t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1stsPZEgS...

Re: Midtown Area Apartment Boom
There will ALWAYS be people who want to live in the suburbs even if it's not for many of us. At least developments like Lenexa City Center are providing some denser mixed-use pedestrian-oriented development instead of what's going on at the old Sprint campus. Why shit all over something like this wh...

Re: Is KC Tenants destroying the development future of downtown KCMO?
Why isn't KCT working with the city on things like addressing changes to the energy code that builders are having trouble working with when getting permits? The article references nine single family home permits issued in the past six months instead of 85 per months before the code change (Sept 2023...

Re: Misc Crossroads News
That bathroom has been wiped clean. They demoed the entire floor. UGH the floor with the R insignia was amazing. I used to go there when it was the Dixie Belle, then 1924 Main and even had our wedding rehearsal dinner at the Rieger. So sad to hear about the space potentially losing so much of it's ...

Re: Misc Crossroads News
Probably just latched on to the plaque in the bathroom that says Al Capone Pissed Here and ran with it. Hopefully the menu is better than fried ravioli apps and spaghetti with a large meatball.

Re: T-Mobile Center (formerly Sprint Center)
Says posted here late April https://www.kcmo.gov/city-hall/departments/finance/office-of-management-and-budget-omb $3.3M for TMO. I was at the Big 12 and I thought one thing they could do is carve another entrance in where that circle drive is where McGee ends. I don't think I've ever seen that dri...

Re: Downtown Baseball Stadium
How ironic that even if the stadium doesn't get built in the Xroads there will still be continued development in the area like freeway cap and additional population from 18th/Vine, Parade Park, 4L, Midland, Calvert's Lot, etc. that will eventually price many of those businesses out of the East Cross...

Re: wtf is happening to w. 39th?!
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...

Re: wtf is happening to w. 39th?!
Mushroom Culture is in negotiations to take over the former Blue Koi space. They've started a Mainvest initiative to raise funds. Will have grab-n-go meals, butcher display case, hot food items and to go window facing 39th St sidewalk.

Re: New Chiefs Stadium
Who pays the cost of demolition of the K and what is that estimate? BTW does anyone REALLY care that the concrete from the K will be repurposed? Just seems like lip service to be responsible stewards of the environment but maybe (probably) I'm out of touch.

Re: New Chiefs Stadium
$800 million dollars. While some of the amenities (360 mostly covered upper concourse, additional entrances, quicker concessions lines, etc.) are warranted, it feels like a lot of this is about prepping Arrowhead and the reimagined parking area to hold more concerts and other revenue generating even...

Re: 5th and Main (Northwest Corner)
I know a restaurant owner in the RM and spoke to him right after the meters went in. He could care less about where his customers park but he was very concerned about his employees. The meters have time limits and they have to run out and feed them during their shift and can barely afford the cost,...

Re: One North Development
Did The Fresh Market end up backing out of this development? Would love to see them come back to the area but I read somewhere that they were no longer part of the development.

Re: Westwood - 47th Street
A solid job bringing some life into an otherwise struggling retail section. I guess everything is relative, but honestly feels pretty vibrant to me. The original Joe's alone probably draws in more tourists than any restaurant on the Kansas side at least. Looks like pretty low vacancy too. You're ri...

Re: Downtown Baseball Stadium
Why isn't there a concentrated push to counter misperceptions about parking? Or that some of the revenue from the hotel/conference center would go into the team payroll instead of the owner's pockets? Or the benefit of reducing subsidies to the P&L? Or that taking the streetcar could result in f...

Re: Downtown Baseball Stadium
Really hard to stay positive on the stadium. I think I just spent half my time this weekend in KC trying to get friends and relatives on board with a new stadium. They are being swayed hard by all this anti stadium stuff on social media. If this were a Royals only vote, I think it would go down by ...

Re: Fixing the KC Zoo (ongoing)
The southern end of the Africa section really needs wider walkways - in the summer and on weekends everything gets clogged with double-wide strollers, slowpokes, wagons and general dumbasses who just stand in the middle of everything.

Re: Downtown Baseball Stadium
Perception is reality for most voters (and Royals game attendees) that are on the fence. Having a horrible incident like yesterday is all that many need to vote against the downtown relocation or vow not to attend games there even though the finished stadium is a long ways off. People don't like the...

Re: Former Google Fiber Space on Westport Rd
People are such dumb asses that even though it's not a drive-thru, but rather a place to pick up mobile or delivery orders, there will still be a constant number of customers not understanding that they can't order like a regular drive thru. This place will be one huge cluster lol. Let's hope they d...
