Is the purpose of this to take load off Grand through same stretch? Mixed feelings...

Would be nice to get a real Jersey style sub shop like White House Subs, though hard to find anywhere outside E Coast... https://scontent.fmkc1-1.fna.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-1/11350543_10153338579047999_5173403286106582874_n.jpg?_nc_cat=110&_nc_ht=scontent.fmkc1-1.fna&oh=4c576616601ed16d264ba96ddaee7a1e&oe...

After crime and schools, keeping up infrastructure should be a focus. Especially after this harsh winter. Was driving through JoCo the other day on those nicely plowed streets with no potholes. Enter KCMO and there's a pothole every hundred yards or so - or having to dodge something. We need a pro-d...

Suspect that Darlene is a person who was kicked off the site as 'she' appeared shortly after.

Is it the small lot next door to West Portlandia apts or is a building being torn down?

Restaurant openings do seem to be happening at a faster rate than Midtown population increase.

Is likely they have emergency pull things that take out entire window. But still, not being able to open window for some air not great.

Yeah, sometimes drivers run the heat high when 50s to 60s and I need to open window just to breathe.

Agree that Google Fiber wasn't a failure, just that the window to capitalize on it is over. Now that airport, transit and downtown have attention/momentum, the new priorities for the region should be boosting up the universities and addressing crime.

Not stellar growth @5% considering OKC, Nashville, Louisville and Indy all regionally kicked butt. How can KC do better? KC had its chance with the Google Fiber hype, which has since subsided now that gigabit is broad. Warm weather cities and winter 'destination' cities (Denver, MSP) will do well, ...

As low brow diners go Cascone's has recently been at the bottom of the barrel food wise. Look forward to an upgrade even if just middle=of=pack diner but should probably offer some different items than City Diner. Like focus on potato scrambler type plates or something.

KC ranks 19th for Millennial growth, beat out by Louisville and OK City though no STL on list...

The church, however, says it doesn’t need rescuing. A letter from the church’s executive board, filed with the city’s Historic Preservation Committee in response to the nomination, said that while members treasure the existing structure, they don’t consider it historic and don’t support the propose...

The trend of many existing church goers appears to be gathering in strip malls or mega churches - 'the building doesn't matter' crowd. Most of the rest are struggling to maintain expensive old money pit buildings with shrinking members.

The reality is that underused property in a prime location like that is sold to highest bidder that likely wouldn't find a good function for that structure (the layout of building and fact that it's few floors). Ditto for the old Westport bank building, unfortunately. Both could have made great rest...

Fang, you must have missed the memo that religious affiliation is shrinking including in KC. The only religious growth in KC (2013-2017) is with Latinos and Black Protestant according to... http://ava.prri.org/#religious/2013/MetroAreas/religion/m/13 http://ava.prri.org/#religious/2017/MetroAreas/re...

Tried Larkburger and not at all impressed even if half the price. Would rather have the frozen Costco microwave burgers (yes, tried it).

At the risk of generalizations.. . Northland KC evangelicals seem pretty religiously extroverted where KS evangelicals more likely to keep to themselves, but neither as politicizing as southern MO. I spend a lot of time in NW and upper central MO and they appear to be more like Iowa. St Joe area sti...

According to same source, KS has a bit more religiously unaffiliated than MO and more Latino Catholic of course but was surprised to see KS white/latino catholic combined is more than MO. KS has slightly more evangelical than MO but southern MO seems more driven to politicize religion in this era. S...

^My sisters in W County grew up DEM leaning (in city), their husbands have Fox News on 24/7. My sisters have since drank The Wall koolaid. KS had the disastrous GOP 'experiment' that failed. Several in seat have switched to DEM, now a DEM gov and they also voted in a lesbian rep. KS has gone from *t...
