Re: Downtown KCK
I wish the former YMCA in downtown Kansas City at 10th and Oak had been converted to lofts and not demolished. https://kchistory.org/image/ymca-building-3?solr_nav%5Bid%5D=86c49a5d1fbed40615ee&solr_nav%5Bpage%5D=0&solr_nav%5Boffset%5D=15 It survived until at least 1999. Razed for Davis Park...

Re: OFFICIAL - Pennway Point
Broadway is a funny street. If you come into downtown from the northland across the Buck O'Neil Bridge, in the space of just under five miles you drive on six differently-named segments without making a right or left turn. - Broadway - West Pennway - Penn Valley Dr (signed as Broadway, but KCMO Parc...

Re: KC metro growth and migration stats
Everybody is so enamored with no income tax, like the state doesn't get your share in other ways.

Re: 1531 Holmes
Having a car hole on 16th instead of using the alley is disappointing.

Rosin Preservation posted some photos showing the transformation of the Crispus Attucks School for reuse as the ZhouB Art Center. Some include the restoration of the auditorium, which was in bad shape. https://www.instagram.com/p/C33deYsubkF/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link&igsh=MzRlODBiNWFlZA== ht...

Losing (temporarily) that corner building to self storage is a real shame.

Re: Downtown Baseball Stadium
Why is it so damn hard for the Royals to get out in front of all these issues? Like how hard would it be for them to do some short form content that is shareable on social media or a youtube video that addresses all the major concerns or even just throw out some olive branches by addressing the iss...

Re: 1531 Holmes
Is it really so hard to step down the elevation along Holmes and provide an active street level instead of blank walls?

Re: KCI Flight Schedule Adjustments
Kind of a tangent, but airline codes make no sense to me at least half the time. DL and AA? Sure, that's clearly Delta and American. But WN, NK, B6? I know WN is Southwest (somehow), but where do they get NK and B6 from Jet Blue and Spirit? Is it merger legacy codes like railroad reporting marks (i....

Re: Downtown Baseball Stadium
Oak is twice as wide as it needs to be. You could take some of the ROW and still have a functional street left over.

Re: Downtown New Residential Units
While small, Columbus Park is adding 10 new apartments and townhomes. The first new construction in 13 years. A slumlord/speculator has finally sold two buildings and that could add six new apartments. How do you consider this the first new construction in 13 years? I can think of a few new homes a...

Re: Misc Crossroads News
Kind of ironic that he's complaining to the *Greater* Kansas City Chamber of Commerce. It's no difference to them when he's in the Crossroads or OP. Complaints to the Downtown Council might spur more action. It's always been a little odd to me that every suburb and niche municipality has a chamber o...

You may already be aware, but County Road Ice House in P&L is a full-service Joe's KC BBQ downtown... Oh - I do recall that now! It's Joes KC BBQ with a full menu. For some reason the owner of Joes was hesitant in the beginning to name it Joes or anything similar. They now regret this because s...

I’d hope that some day the Bryant Building gets a new life. It’s wasted as a vertical data center.

Re: Brightline
Brightline's big differentiators are full control of their corridor and development rights over properties adjacent to their stations, with the ability to capture the value of those over the long term. Amtrak would need a fundamental change of strategy, possibly up to a literal Act of Congress to pi...
