I'm surprised to be saying this but I have to agree. When I read the article about the shooting this morning, all I could think about is that something needs to be done about Club Chemical. It's great that the building is getting use and that there is a club in the heart of downtown. And I don't fau...

Okay, now it's time to ask for a pardoning of my ignorance on two counts, but... 1) What building specifically is "the freighthouse building", and what's in it? 2) I didn't even know there was a Fiorella's in that area. #-o I do enjoy eating lunch at Union Station but have always driven th...

One thing I don't get about this... where would this bridge go to? Is it essentially an extension of The Link that would connect to a specific building somewhere, or would it just dump you off outside on the other side of the railroad tracks at the edge of the Crossroads neighborhood in general? If ...

Can anyone give me the history of the "gillham park strangler?" They mentioned him in the article, and I tried to do some research on him but didn't find anything. An article about serial killers in today's Star says... Ray Shawn Jackson, who admitted strangling six women in or near Gillh...

[quote=""scooterj"]Actually I think Breeden died before they were able to get anything on him... or out of him. And the clothing of Crystal Kipper was found in his apartment... so with him dead her disappearance was never solved either.[/quote] Huh... according to an article in The St...

I guess this makes me officially a development nerd now: Last night I had a dream in which Barnes announced that the reason DST was tearing down apartment buildings in Quality Hill was to clear out space for her secretly formulated and now sealed plan to build a new baseball stadium on the far weste...

Huh?

I had lived in Olathe for several years but then last year got divorced. With most of my friends downtown and me 28 miles away, that kinda sucked. I was finally convinced by my best friend to move to the River Market. I sold my house and made the move. I expected the transition to be rough but it wa...

Well, the top couple of floors are definitely in a very skinny area at least! It doesnt' seem to be much mroe space than about what 6 cubicles take up on my floor.

That was channel 5

I've flown in/out of KCI many times and never noticed the lack of facilities in the secured area because never once did it ever cross my mind to even enter the secured area until close to flight time. I've never had a wait of more than a couple of minutes for security even after 9/11. As for the com...

Well, that would be one hell of a job, what are they doing, painting the flag pole? That'd be my guess, though I haven't seen any actual workers yet so I can't tell. scooter j, why were you in the P&L building? Do you work there? If so, how is it inside? I have always wondered! Yeah, I work in ...

Well, I looked at it through binoculars from the P&L building and it's definitely just scaffolding.

I was looking out the conference room window a few minutes ago and I spotted something and thought to myself, "Why not build the downtown baseball stadium there ?" Take a look at this picture, particularly the lower middle section. That's a HUGE surface lot with a smattering of low-rise wa...

i suppose i could look this up, but what about Bob Burdella (sp?). didn't he kill 6 or 7 people and torture them and kill them and put them in his yard or his fridge? there was a cool Court TV special about him a few years ago. Berdella may not have been the most prolific (I think only 6 victims we...

No one has been convicted yet. A guy by the name of Breeden was arrested, but I don't think he was ever convicted, at least not of more than or two of the those murders. Actually I think Breeden died before they were able to get anything on him... or out of him. And the clothing of Crystal Kipper w...

Is this the same guy as the Gilham Park Strangler or was that someone else?

You ought to send Sweeny's two emails to the Star as a Letter to the Editor and let the city at large see what kind of chumps run Ingrams.
