St Louis skyline

i think that KC's downtown/CBD skyline is far more impressive than STL's, Arch or no Arch, but i think that STL is much more impressive in an "urban" sense. i think it's really cool how you can drive around STL, not even close to downtown (not even SEE the arch) and still be in a very urba...

st louis sprawl/I-40

god, has anyone here attempted to drive on I-40 in the west st louis county/st. charles county area recently? I-40, from where it breaks off 70 until about MO-141, has historically been a narrow highway with stoplights (think 50 highway out into the country in MO). now, since west st. louis county a...

Plaza move-ins (ongoing)

KC_Jayhawk - i know about nordstrom and hall's, but what is "CC?" i'd love to see a DKNY store here. it seems like maybe our hometown girl Kate Spade could persuade her fashion friends to open stores in KC. :D also, what's the deal with stores like Lord & Taylor and Neiman-Marcus? they...

Plaza move-ins (ongoing)

i'd really like to see a Diesel store on the plaza. i am actually really surprised there isnt one, based on how many people i see wearing diesel. plus, denver and dallas have small Diesel stores. KC could definitely support one. in fact, i'd like to see more trendy clothing stores on the plaza in ge...

Ikea at Mall of America

i dont really get the whole mpls/kc rivalry thing on this board. basically, they are both cool(ish) cities in big "barren" states. i've never been to mpls, but i would like to check it out - esp. since i really really really hate KC summers. i'd rather have a mpls winter than a KC summer a...

Independence is very underated, a little photo tour.

since i've been delivering mail in independence as a summer job, i think i have a pretty good grip on independence housing (esp in the 64055 and 57 zip codes). one thing i have noticed about independence is that large neighborhoods of old, small ranches that are, let's say, not in the best shape (tr...

Will there be room for Metro North?

it would be nice if metro north could somehow "resurrect" the mall and become comparable to Oak Park (or better), but i don't really see that happening. really, for a city its size, KC has a ridiculous amount of high-end retail. Oak Park, with Nordstrom, Town Center, with much of the plaza...
