Re: OFFICIAL - Loews Convention Hotel (formerly Hyatt)

It is bad guys. Chicago is getting hit by major convention cancellations, as is Orlando. The shutdown is probably prudent, but the hits to travel and convention are real and going to get worse.

Tacky add-ons. If they were original the wiring would have been behind the stone.

Re: OFFICIAL - ARTerra (21st and Wyandotte)

So is it cream city brick? I actually think it would be cool if it was. Might be a little jarring I suppose; KC is not Milwaukee after all. Excited to see this in October.

Re: We need a new airport!!!

Do something! KCI is a joke! A drab, inefficient joke. In town this past weekend and reminded, yet again, how awful it is. 9-11 really did a number on the place. It used to be a joy to travel to-from there, but now, every time I come to KC, the airport is just terrible. The security demands make the...

Re: What are downtown KC's best corporate partners?

Can we take UMB off the list? There building drives me nuts. Takes up a whole city block and three stories tall. Hate it. Ha!! but NO! Also - there was supposed to be an 18 story tower. Could still be done. I have been looking for a rendering from the time, but cant find it. The courtyard, with the...

I'm sorry, but why is this in KC Photos? I clicked on it and there are no photos and a discussion of a NKC project. Shouldn't this be in "North of the River"

Re: GSA considers big office complex downtown

There ain't no way nothing is going to be built for a long time. Between the Republican Congress and the incredible GSA scandal going on, I just can't see this happening anytime soon.
