Re: Plaza move-ins (ongoing)
The most insignificant new buildings in the crossroads today are built with *different* ornamation because that's what the owners want. They don't care that their building doesn't have a single corbel on it. There's been a new architectural style about every 20 years to the point that you can pick a...

Re: New Restaurants/Other Businesses in Northland
I went in that Winsteads once. It was horribly slow for as dead as they were. They didn't keep up with what went in around them.

Re: Misc Crossroads News
Maybe it's as simple as they didn't form a LLC yet? Like it could have been a single proprietorship.

Re: Misc Crossroads News
The owner, 1501 KCMO LLC, was formed in July 2018. So they couldn't have bought anything in 2016 because it didn't exist yet.
It's registered through a StL business and the manager of the LLC is a paralegal at a Polsenelli address

Re: OFFICIAL - Embassy Suites (former Federal Reserve)
This is clearly an outdoor list, but I found a hotel with children's activities listed within seconds.

And a place changing what they do last minute is exactly what you want to see. They're not wasting money on something unrealistic.

What makes your pre-war point funny is the Unity Temple wasn't completed until 1950, construction started in 1945.

Re: Plaza move-ins (ongoing)
You were doing so good and then it became subjective.The problem is that most new buildings are uglier, less interesting/ornamented and degrade the public realm/neighborhood more than the old building

Re: OFFICIAL - 909 Walnut
Stumbled across this footage of that building getting imploded. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WMT-yfplAwg Do you know what year this might have been? demolish commercial building permit CPBD-200223433 was issued 1/7/2002 The address was 921 Walnut, once I found that the permit was easy to find.

Re: Hyperloop between KC and STL
Ok, I'll go bigger With Amazon I've had deliveries scheduled and then show up two days early. I presume because the logistics made more sense to do it that way. Imagine you and your neighbor both ordered at 8am unknowingly and you both have prime service. Your items is in stock in KC, theirs is in S...

Interesting article on if Boeing will invest in a new "MidLiner", the 797. Basically a wide body with the operational cost of a narrow body.

Re: St Louis: City and County Consider Merger
At best, changing counties has some value. Through 2007 the last one was in 1879 but there's no reason that just like annexation a community couldn't choose to change counties. I could see allowing the tail of KC in Cass to choose to join Jackson, for example. There's a cool map here showing county ...
