No, no, it's gaming, not gambling. Gambling sounds seedy and morally questionable, but everyone loves to play games!

Re: Downtown Baseball Stadium
We went to a game while in town a few weeks ago and that area is looking like total shit. Adams Mark vacant and deteriorating, the few other hotels have been severely downgraded. Drury Inn is now some low end motel, I think Holliday Inn is something else now and that extended stay which basically c...

Re: Golden Plains Technology Park
I realize the residency rule is the rule, but I'd be pretty pissed if I'd provided documentation to my employer that I lived at the city address where I said I lived, and then they hired a PI to follow me home. Do they do this kind of investigation on all city employees they suspect might be living ...

So how did we fare over Draft weekend? Did anyone get stuck waiting to get picked up in the arrivals area and miss the whole thing, or was it mostly smooth sailing?

Re: Golden Plains Technology Park
Kansas City Council waived the requirements when it executed its contract with the developer. Two most common reasons this can happen for two reasons: scale of project and specialization. Which of those would apply here, though? The story feels pretty damning to me. It sounds like Meta didn't want ...

Re: I-70
I agree we shouldn't widen freeways for the sake of added capacity, but I do think a lot of I-70 needs to be improved to modern safety standards. That was the main reason for The New I-64 in St. Louis. Some of the bridges dated back to the 1930s, and the interchanges were designed before engineers r...

A better article is in today's business journal news. Looks like most of the incentives went to keep Farmers here as they were "threatening" to move to OKC or Pheonix. In return for the tax abatement, they offer to add jobs over the next three years. In a sense, it's more a case of Far...

Re: I-70
Adding that fourth lane would probably require enough additional property purchases to drive up the cost significantly. I know that was a big part of why Highway 40/Interstate 64 in St. Louis was rebuilt with six lanes instead of eight from Kingshighway to I-170.

Re: OFFICIAL - New KCI Terminal
The terminal reminds me of Southwest Florida International, which was built in 2005. It also has only crosswalks. It's been my experience that they usually have one or two cops monitoring traffic and the crosswalks. Arrivals level: https://goo.gl/maps/kbma8Curx9J1dtCA9 Departures level: https://goo....

Re: OFFICIAL - New KCI Terminal
There's a USA TODAY article from 2006 about the then-new cell phone lots. It's a familiar drill. You wait until the last minute before leaving the house for the airport to pick up an arriving friend or family member, to minimize the wait. But unless you're lucky, airport police will have to shoo you...

Maybe they figured the planning going into this can be mothballed for a decade or so and rolled back out when it's time to move downtown.Chris Stritzel wrote: ↑Tue Mar 28, 2023 3:29 pm It would be nice, but East Village is the way to go.

As a parent of a six-year-old, I'm a little ambivalent about the Lego store, only because I can imagine opening up the package on the tray table and having pieces scatter everywhere when we hit a bit of turbulence, leading to missing pieces and an unhappy kid.

Just solve the whole problem by building a new high-end hotel on site with another parking garage underneath. Great idea. That Marriott is rough.
