Does that include the new wing of 531 Grand?

Edit. Looks like that added 45 for a total of 185

Jack stack is the fourth

I forgot about the fifth, there's one inside crown center

it will be the fourth BBQ restaurant downtown in a city where tourists want to eat BBQ. I'm not worried

Let them start digging the NYC to NJ tunnels that Christie took away the funding for.

If hyperloop fails at least would have that done

judging from their KCK and KCMO locations, likely another lunch only operation. kind of a bummer, and was hoping for some kind of ethnic food, but better than vacant. Lunch is where all the money is in restaurants. If they do it smart they will tune their lunch business like Plowboys did to the poi...

Taking that on face value, that's not the worst source ever.

I'm quite pleased with this. I can schedule a pickup on the way home from work much easier for that location.

what's the source?

kelly's and the levee donated to smartKC, according to their latest filing: https://drive.google.com/open?id=0Bx1_a32nv3z2dzRDRU1pVVBGZDA Jeez, you'd think a Westport pub would actually want to give their liquored up patrons another option for getting home that doesn't involve them driving their ow...

Why would they send someone out that can't answer "who" let alone "why" ?????

If the legislature didn't like the TDD law the way it is it would have been changed already since it's a method to impose *new* taxes

That's the only answer you need.

You're still not getting what I'm saying. I'm saying you're thinking too small by focusing on one shopping center. The opportunities are 100x greater to look beyond the functionally tiny area of 46th Ter to Ward Parkway and Main to Jefferson. Here's a map https://countryclubplaza.com/wp-content/uplo...

There are a lot of locals who've lost interest in the Plaza, the 'boring mall' it has become why does the plaza need to be something for everyone? Why does it need to serve any specific person to be worthwhile with the storefront mix the way it is today? If a great new neighborhood use store wanted...

And cutting down on some retail could provide opportunity for downtown to expand retail. what makes you say these two things connected? would a retailer that wants to locate in one of the premier retail centers in the midwest really locate downtown just because there's no space at their center of c...

Michigan Avenue shopping has an entire mall the size of the plaza just in one building and the shopping district is closer to if you had a two block shopping district from 31st to 47th St in KC. It's not an apples to apples example. The question you haven't answered is why does one specific shopping...

Why can't these things be in the neighborhoods? Why do people have to go to the plaza for neighborhood amenities? A comedy club or music club isn't a bad idea but why must this be on the plaza? If we want to discourage car use on the plaza and get more ped use a concentration of activities isn't the...

The airport line can not be just about going to the airport to make any sense and it's still expensive to get to the airport. I think about half the distance is getting to the airport from the last logical destination. If I were picking, get it to Tiffany Springs and stop there. You pass by Gladston...

Yes. But we've been talking about long waits and variance in headways, so I think it should be apparent that time, not space, is the variable of interest. Indeed, that's exactly what flyingember pointed out. You're certainly not wrong. Our time gaps should match our physical gaps and it doesn't. It...

Nike was always going to be yawn

For reference, the sale was announced in Jan 2016

Here's the current owner

About 40 votes so far with over half preferring a bit more mixed up than just retail/restaurants. Doesn't look like too many want something as drastic as changing Nichols Rd to a pedestrian only street, would think it would be a huge long term boost. Take a look at the pics again above, most still ...

Oh well. The orientation of that outfield is just plain wrong anyways. I think only Comerica Park has as south-facing of an outfield as that rendering and it's a problem. PNC Park faces south. It is definitely not the preferred orientation, but clearly, some exceptions are made. Not the best exampl...
