Re: OFFICIAL - New KCI Terminal
Agreed on the flat roof outside the connector. Someone earlier mentioned a living garden there would be cool. Agreed with that Yes, green roof! Some low-maintenance, properly regional prairie grasses and wildflowers. As I mentioned before, this seems like pretty low-hanging fruit, especially in a L...

Re: OFFICIAL: Port Authority Riverfront Project
Agreed. Connecting to cliff drive will be a huge improvement Connecting to Cliff Drive would be awesome. But, how would this be accomplished? The new connector from Columbus Park to Cliff Drive (under I-35), while relatively close distance-wise to a proposed Lydia Ave connection from Berkley, is ac...

Re: Downtown Baseball Stadium
The team should have noted in a better way that the stadium design itself is just a placeholder/concept to show location and district design. Note to all the Facebookers and Reddit people yelling about the loss of "CrownVision" etc. I was just about to post this. They did put it on each s...

Re: Downtown Baseball Stadium
Even with the more detailed renderings it's still hard to take these seriously, outside perhaps the stadium design specifically for East Village that's been floating around for a while. Every building and use outside of the stadiums themselves, in both sets of renderings, appears to be a placeholde...

Re: Downtown Baseball Stadium
It's like the fans don't show up at all unless it's nearly a guarantee that the team will go to the WS. And then the "fans" come out of the woodwork and become obnoxious (the all star vote etc) and this is coming from probably one of the biggest Royals fans there is. I'm a season ticket h...

Re: West Bottoms Redevelopment
While I agree and have stated previously that Weld is a huge loss for the bottoms, I've made peace with it. The upcoming 5/1 does appear to be well designed, built out to the edges of the unique site, and relatively open to Mulberry and Union streets. Those pretty renderings sure do show a lot of st...

Re: Plaza move-ins (ongoing)
Is there even a decent bar on the Plaza anymore. Used to be a decent nightlife sector there. And local restaurants too. Total disaster. Granfalloon? Still a packed 3AM meeting place for the younger Plaza crowd. And generally always busy. But otherwise, agree. Plaza used to have a pretty diverse nig...

Re: OFFICIAL - New KCI Terminal
I did notice the bathroom soap dispensers were empty and there was a Softsoap dispenser on the counter, like someone ran to Walmart and bought one, so I wonder if there's some issue with the automatic soap dispensers that is causing them to clog up or they're difficult to refill or something. I not...

Re: KCMO Downtown Streetcar
Dave, Curious what/if you're hearing anything about concerns this might happen elsewhere on the line. Is it safe to say that b/c this was the section installed before "actual" streetcar construction began it used a different blend of materials or something like that? Slightly related, it ...

Re: OFFICIAL - New KCI Terminal
Forgot to add, IMO one thing that should be added to MCI is a green roof along the length of the roofs next to the connector hallway. As-is, it's kind of an unfortunate view that could be instantly remedied in a very KC appropriate way with rolling prairie plantings, assuming the structure can suppo...

Re: OFFICIAL - New KCI Terminal
Recently flew out of MCI to New Orleans and got to experience both new terminals for the first time. Man, what a delightful upgrade for KC! Bright, spacious, packed with retail and art. Love the glass jetways. Uber dropoff went smoothly, rode home via friends car in the surface lot near garage which...

Re: Martini Corner near 31st/Gilham
Same thoughts. Best KC development news I've heard in a while, really hope it comes to fruition to anchor that neighborhood.Cratedigger wrote: ↑Fri Jun 30, 2023 1:00 pm Awesome. Mammoth brings good shows and an independent, local group makes a lot of sense for this venue. Rooting for it and can't wait to see a show there in a few years

Re: Washington Sq Park between Crown Center/Union Station
Swope Park was much different in the 1970s. People used to have picnics. Young people parked their cars along the lanes and played music. You would see others waxing their cars while they talked to friends. Yeah, I always wonder about this and would love to have seen it. Prior to the Zoo's unfortun...

Lol what??? You have to provide your dogs DNA to a third party company? Sorry, as enraging as the constant dog poo in my yards is I think that kind of surveillance is indicative of such a low trust, low decency social environment that it’s positively Orwellian. I would not love to see something tha...

Re: Beacon Hill
Dog shit downtown is a greater problem here than any other city I’ve lived in I literally watched a guy let his golden retriever shit in the middle of the sidewalk in the Freight House District and walk away from it.
