Well, I'm one of those folks that bought a house in that area - and I can assure you there will be some real problems annexing that area.  Myself, along with about half of the other 2000 members of the KCPD are required to live in KCMO city limits.... and live in that area.  If they tried to annex t...

OK, I know there are 10,000 threads about the Shoal Creek shopping area.  But, I wanted to update some progress I've noticed over the past few days.  First, the new Aldi is almost complete.  Next, there is a HUGE building going up way behind the shops on the South side of 152.  I'm hoping that will ...

Do you all think the big building going up, behind the Taco Bell at 152 and Flintlock is the Aldi's?  Has anyone heard for sure? I was talking to a cashier at the Aldi on North Oak a few months back and she said the Aldi was going next to the OfficeMax - where the Best Buy is on the North side of 1...

Shoal Creek Ribbon Cutting Friday The Shoal Creek Patrol Division Ribbon Cutting Ceremony will be this Friday (Dec 1) at 11:00 am. Refreshments and facility tours will follow the ceremony. To get there, take I-435 to Shoal Creek Parkway Exit #51 and follow the signs. For those that don't know (can'...

We tried this new Italian place last night, Mavi Italian.  It is fresh - fast Italian kind of like Cupinis.  It is very reasonably priced and the portions are large enough to share.  The menu is simple but unique with several different spiedini dishes both chicken and beef.  We split a chicken spie...

RE: Red Robin Just for a quick background I have been a lifelong Northlander - who spent 3 years in the Waldo area before coming "home" back in June.  While out South - my wife and sister (my 12 year old Sister lives with us) and myself discovered "Red Robin" out on 135th Street....

OK, here is the link to their website and they are a small chain: http://www.northernlightspizza.com/ . If you look on that page - it lists the two Northland locations and their delivery areas.  Like I mentioned in my above post - they cover a LOT of the Northland - especially many of the newer neig...

I'm not sure how many of you have tried them yet, but I tried them for the first time about two weeks ago, and have now eaten there 3 times.  I'm not sure if they are a national chain - but the name leads me to believe they only serve the Northland.  Anyway - their pizza is awesome, and they have so...

My understanding is that right next to the Best Buy is the Officemax, with the Aldi eventually going directly next to that. I'd still like to know the exact location of the new Costco. I also agree with another poster that a Fazollies would be great.  I love italian food, and have heard they are goo...

Not sure about the new place - but I'll warn you to stay away from the Panda Express.  My wife stopped there last Friday, and got herself a combo lo mein, and me 2 orders of egg drop soup (wasn't feeling well).  It came to $11 (Would have been $7-8 at most restaurants).  When she brought it home, th...

To the admin, FYI, today I received a porn ad in my PM box, and also in my email from this forum.  It said it was from a "guest", so I guess you have the feature turned on where guests can send PM's.  As somoene that runs a few forums, I will warn you that once one of these messages gets t...

Are you sure you're not thinking about the area a little South of there?  Just off I-435 & Shoal Creek Pky  (actual location is Pleasant Valley Drive & Shoal Creek Pky) is where the new KCMO Police academy, and the new Shoal Creek Police Station are being built.  They are visible from I-435,...

That's exactly what I'm thinking about. How can they have all these buildings sitting empty for so long. The interest alone would have to be killing them. Probably their business plan includes some $$$ cash flow until break even, but I'd think that soon they will have to begin to be filling up. Ok,...

I had another thread going about this in the "rumors" section.  I was at Hy-Vee a couple days ago and asked the manager if he had heard anything.  He said that he had heard it was going at 152 & I-35 on the NorthWest corner - behind the Home Depot & Target (and that strip center). ...

The original question asked what was provided by the "E-tax".  My understanding is that one of the main things that was supposed to be provided by it was our fabulious "free" trash service.  Years ago I remember when every few months, the city would come by and throw a huge roll ...

What kind of public project appeals to everyone? I certainly can't think of one. OK, take a look at Riverfront Park in Riverside.  The city took some casino revenue, and built a beautiful first-class park.  It is a destination for people from all over the city (I went there several times when I liv...

So are you for restoring US and Liberty Memorial or not??? Why would KCMO losing the track to KCK be a bad thing?  KCMO would not have developed the land around the track like KCK did.  They have little interest in giving away land and financing projects in the fast growing and revenue producing no...

"made it easier to get to the destiantions" ....you've stated all the destinations are a waste of money...so they would no longer be there in this fairland, 100 mile light rail system to nowhere.  You then go on to point to STL and their destinations which would easily be classified into ...

Well let's just say, without those "pet", "wasteful" projects you just listed, many of us would been moving out and there would be even less reason for light rail (which with our density could easily be called waseful....I going out on a limb that you wouldn't use it daily) beca...

(oops.... sorry.... missed the part about what I would like to see built)... Well, I would love to see a great light rail system built in KC.  The biggest problem with the ones that is always proposed is that it runs down Troost.  I drove Troost to work every day for three years, and only saw about ...
