Re: New mixed use tower at 8th and Grand

To see any new construction in the north loop is fantastic. It has been unchanged since the Whitaker Courthouse thirty years ago.

Re: Parade Park

Looks indistinguishable from exteriors of any "luxury" apartments recently developed. The current homes scream Sixties HUD. But could have included some housing more like row homes instead of all apartments. If they are wanting to attract buyers.

Re: East Side Development

Great project. In the heart of the East Side, Benton Blvd is one of the few areas that still has the bones for a revival and could be a locus for reinvestment. They even have planned for 6 plex apartments similar to the classic KC colonnades.

Re: Trees in KC (ongoing)

City manager's response was to my e-mail. I am impressed, but will be more impressed to see if it actually happens. I told him how I tote buckets of water across traffic to the median and have kept a couple 3rd year trees alive while most of the others in the neighborhood are dead.

No mention of a watering program. Such a waste of effort and money and lack of common sense.

Re: Troost developments

I had heard that the person behind the Troost Village had died and now family not interested in project. Don't know if this is true or not. Having a charming row of vintage storefronts as relics of the first KC suburban shopping district would amp up the revival happening between Troost and 71.
