Wow, that article was terribly written. Staff cuts at the Star.

They mostly just tweet stuff now and call it good.

Location, location, location = fail. This city simply cannot get it right. They keep throwing events at Swope Park and nothing is successful. Example: The Ethnic Fest should have 10 times more visitors than it gets. But who wants to park in a field and walk a mile through tall, chigger-infested gra...

The City should just give them Theis Park. Don't see how that is a good idea. That is a great park and it is actually well-used. This forum is full of ideas to get rid of parks and make every corner of the city 'dense'. One thing I love about the city (and most visitors notice) is all the great 'op...

Also, Wrigley isn't exactly in the middle of downtown

Also wrigleyville is fucking horrible.

The City should just give them Theis Park. Give after a citywide vote to remove it from the park system. I would expect that would get a lot of pushback. Yeah, I understand the reality. But it’s probably as likely as any of the rest of this pipe dream about UMKC becoming a big, important urban univ...

Europeans breathe better than Americans do.

It’s very useful for south of the river neighborhood identification since it marks street boundaries perfectly Yuck. That’s antithetical to the idea of a neighborhood to me. A neighborhood is supposed to be nebulous, malleable, and subject to the whim of an ill-defined, possibly chimerical, popular...

I wouldn’t be too critical.

Um.

Did you call it a “honky-tube”?

Or just point out that it would make way more sense just to make the fucking street safe enough for children to cross?

What an Urban Planner from Amsterdam has to say about our system and extension. Good. But the layout of the proposed route is madness. So many lanes of striped asphalt. Utter waste. Why not import some of the world's best practice and do center-running (grassy) transit lanes with floating transit s...

This committee should take their time and do it right. No one wants another Citadel or 18th & Vine Part 1. Between Prospect MAX and Smart City 2.0, there is already a lot of focus on that corridor in the near-term. I’m very excited about Prospect MAX. I know next to nothing about Smart City (1 or 2...

Thanks. I’m abroad and hadn’t seen that article. Not that I would have read something on the editorial page if I was in town. The Star’s new editorial board has taken a turn for the woke that I’m not interested in. Local muck racking and trolling of the Abouhalkah variety I could stomach, laugh at, ...

Does anyone know what’s going on with the east side development tax money?

Unpopular Opinion: the grey streetcars are ugly. I really enjoy the lovely colors that the party car has been “painted” with. I wish we would have picked a livelier paibt schene fir our cars I wanted red, but was convinced to support the "timeless" scheme we have now. Put my firmly in the don’t car...

I’ve always been confused: Is it grey or gray?

Both are correct. Grey is more popular in the US, gray in the UK.

Switch spelling or countries and you’d be correct.

let’s talk about what kind of glass they will use for the doors in the cooler section for about 50 pages while we’re at it

Are you guys talking about Tacos el Guero, in the corner of wheeling? Or a different place?

I don’t really care what they call it on the marketing lit. It’s infill in what I would call Blenheim. I’ll take it.
