Thanks everyone for your input. After careful consideration and lots of number crunching, I decided to put in an offer for a one-bedroom condo in Quality Hill. After two counter offers, my offer was accepted so, come June, I'll be a downtowner. I'm very excited. The place was a bit more than I had o...

CommunityAmerica Credit Union also holds their own loans and services them in-house. They also process and service loans for several other area credit unions including Mazuma. I'm buying my first home and have been pre-approved with a rate of 5% through CACU. I do all of my banking with CACU and cou...

The time is finally right for me to stop renting and finally take the plunge of buying my first home. I've been looking for about a month now and there are several tempting options available in the 'burbs. The problem is, I'm single, I work too much and don't want to worry about maintenance or a yar...

American dropped their service to LGA several years ago. I believe it was mid to late 2006 or thereabouts.

I am willing to bet the Oklahoma location will be finished before the KCK location. It will. It's not a new casino though. It's just a re-branding and expansion of the existing Cherokee Casino Resort. http://www.tulsaworld.com/news/article.aspx?articleID=20081114_319_Adea002744 It looks like the KS...

The Spring schedules for Southwest were released today. As of March 8th, KC will see one additional daily flight to Albuquerque (2), Baltimore (3) and Las Vegas (5). As a result, Southwest is reducing its number of flights to Oklahoma City from KC from three daily non-stops to two and it will cut se...

I was surfing around YouTube the other day and stumbled upon a music video from an Australian band called Sneaky Sound System. Their single "Kansas City" was released this summer. It's kinda catchy. Of course, a Wizard of Oz theme is used.  :roll: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1YdJHrCJfAs...

Penn gaming group withdraws Kansas plan, seeks $25 million refund There's no article there for some reason (only a headline). They are withdrawing from their bid for a casino near Pittsburg, KS since they didn't win their bid for the location south of Wichita. I don't believe they submitted a bid f...

Wolds of Fun is a waste. It's only open half the year, sits in the middle of a parking lagoon and the only development it has spurned is a Taco Bell, a super eight and a bunch of industrial buildings. There is absolutely nothing to do up there after a day at the park. No bar scene at all. They need...

There are discounts on Pepsi product cans all of the time.

Cedar Fair didn't take a risk at all with this standard cookie-cutter. Standard cookie-cutter? Apparently you don't get out much. For those of you that want to see the video and view the stats, they can be found at http://prowler.worldsoffun.com. In other news, the park is adding two new haunted at...

The bad news from Midwest was released this morning. As of Sept. 8, Midwest will be dropping service from KC to the following cities: Ft. Lauderdale (previously announced) Ft. Myers (previously announced) Madison Orlando Pittsburgh San Diego San Antonio A neutered Midwest presence in KC will serve t...

For those of you grumbling about wooden coasters, Timber Wolf fell into disrepair in the late 90s and early 00s. Over the last three years the park has put in a lot of time and money re-tracking the ride and giving it some of the TLC it has so desperately needed. You cannot compare a ride on Timber ...

Southwest will be making some adjustments to their KCI schedule in November. - Two additional daily flights to Denver (for a total of six) - New non-stop service to Ft. Lauderdale (one flight per day) - Discontinuation of non-stop service to Sacramento (loss of one flight) I haven't seen it posted h...

Niagra is a lot like Branson - you just have to embrace the trashy tourist cheese and have fun with it.  That is what I've heard. We do have plans for Maid of the Mist, but other than that we don't know what else we'll do in Niagara. If we get bored, we can always drive back to Toronto. Right now o...

Even with conversion rates, Canada seems to be a popular place for Americans this year. I will also be in Toronto in mid-May and have plans to go to Montreal next summer. Since suggestions are being thrown around, does anyone have any must sees dos in Toronto or Niagara Falls that they would like to...

Absolutely spectacular!

Driving on SM Pkwy last night I noticed a sign for condo (or townhome?) development directly south of Gateway project adjacent to the small bank.  Aside from being close to the propsed Gateway, seemed like a strange parcel to build on.  Was too dark to read much on the sign - anyone have add'l info...
