Parson at Canadian Pacific KC today saying Missouri will compete to keep both stadiums. Said they are big economic engines My concern here is that Missouri will go all out to keep the Chiefs as it is the only professional football team in Missouri to the point that there effort to help the Royals s...

I guess that's just event space anyway? Has that building ever been renovated for apartments?

Does he still own the Firestone Building?

Simply a negotiating tactic. He can't say he only wants to stay at Arrowhead and won't consider other options, but he wants to stay at Arrowhead. I'm not saying that he can't be swayed but it would take Jackson County and Missouri completely shitting the bed combined with Kansas offering to rename ...

Side note - thoughts on why Strawberry Hill hasn't really taken off yet? It's close to DTKC, has a nice collection of restaurants and bars (albeit not high-end), interesting views and history. Housing stock just too old/small? KCK decay/reputation gets in the way? Is crime an issue? Often had these...

With Clark Hunt saying he talked to John Sherman and the two teams are going their separate ways on stadium efforts, and the fact Hunt said a new stadium (open air or domed) is being considered, it'll be interesting to see what happens. He remains open to Kansas as an option. Things are still early...

Unfortuantely for this person, the same applies whenever you watch a movie, TV show or listen to music. It applies when you go out to eat at a national chain or buy almost anything in the grocerty store (only in those instances, it's the executives who's pockets you're lining). It applies whenever ...

The Bannister Mall plan is coming up for review in front of the TIF Commission. I still think this plan should include dense residential housing to be successful long-term. Otherwise, we will be back at the same place in 25 years. Should we be writing the TIF Commission to voice this point-of-view?...

STL Cardinals will ask the local and/state government for over $500 million to renovate Busch Stadium. No shot they get their second round (after 2006) of state funding package for a stadium whilst KC can't even get it's first one still. You can thank the mayor for the state treating us like their ...

A nice video summation of the Woodchuk Run trail in Swope Park. Very scenic area with Ozark-like outcrops and pretty rugged terrain. Extremely underutilized part of the park used mostly by mountain bike riders. Spring would be a great time to do this trail when the foliage allows some nice views - n...

Where does said bartender work? That has been an ongoing rumor for such a long time. A bit hard to buy at this point. Yeah. Based on what I know it’s not true at all. Even if the area wasn’t still being considered for a stadium, it would still be a stretch for Targets typical urban development. It ...

Can't wait for an actual ped connection. That main street bridge is cool as an overlook but sucks for connection. The other option through Columbus park is dangerous and almost unusable. Where is the pedestrian connection going to be? What option do you have from Columbus Park? Walking down Guinott...

If the Royals play well against the Mets and White Sox (next 6 games), the stands better be more full for the home stand against the Orioles. You don't know our pain as Royals fans. We are bitter fucks and will not believe they're winners until after the All Star break. I'd be happy to make it out ...

I don’t have the authority to share the information. Not that it’s relevant but my own anecdotal experience is most people just wanted a better, more organized plan along with more information. The save the crossroads noise was loud for sure but not in the top 3 factors for why this failed. I also ...

It would be wrong to keep the Royals at TSC. Even with a streetcar connection, the suburban minded folks would still control what happens by demanding parking remain, practically eliminating the Royals chances of a mixed-use development next to the stadium. Building on the other side of 70 is not s...

Floors 3-10 put up for lease. https://www.loopnet.com/Listing/1301-Main-St-Kansas-City-MO/31458092/ That's more than half the whole building! This is also why you focus on housing instead of trying to entice businesses back to the urban core. https://www.msn.com/en-us/money/companies/the-ceo-of-h-r...

The Royals draw just fie when they are respectable. Not losing 90+ games. We stay on the pace we have set so far this season you will have near sellouts on the weekends by June. Biggest problem is over the last 30 years we are either in the playoffs or losing 90+ games, with a lot more of the latte...

Any ideas on what is the best and most comprehensive website for KC events? Events that would include classical music, jazz, any music, plays, musicals, festivals etc..... Have some friends coming in town and it would be nice to have a comprehensive website so I do not have to go to every venue I kn...

Back to political nonsense posts, too bad. I'm quite sure PD can withstand and even understand why those comments were being made. Nobody hates bad cops worse than gold cops. Violence on the Plaza is a very real issue that impacts the health of the Plaza specifically, the neighborhood around it and...

They should hire a political advisor that’s worked with a famous democrat so they don’t instantly become a target like what happened last time. “Oh they hired a guy who worked for Desantis, he must be evil I don’t like it blah blah”. Maybe just avoid the political affiliations all together. Politic...
