I should add, if there are serious conversations about eminent domain, etc., I would rather this go along the streetcar line on the north side of the loop. Ideal location, IMO.
Obviously the Star site presents at least one major landowner with an interest in development, unlike a north loop site.

Re: Downtown Baseball Stadium
Man, here I was hoping maybe 18th/Vine combo with NLBM was back on the table. I agree this is a tough one. If this could somehow be built over the 670 trench (precedent - Target Field) with a portion designed as a terminus for the South Loop park, I would be hugely in favor. An unconventional design...

Re: Vote No on park vacation
This was a wild land. There was nothing to take care of. In fact, where appropriate, a lot of park land could be returned to a wild status. Maintenance money could be saved. There could have been some improvement if there were future demand, such as hiking trails. Some of Kessler's urban masterpiec...

Re: West Bottoms Redevelopment
Nice article on the Rock Island Bridge from Startland News. Looks like progress is being made on the levee trail and The Yards phase II as well - looking good.

Re: Armory Block Redevelopment at 3620 Main
This is particularly disappointing; I was looking forward to this as one of the flagship redevelopments along the Main Street extension. Now "maybe" an event space and Goodwill moving next door; no new construction at all. Biz Journal mentions Exact had difficulty finding hotel or food hal...

Re: Sporting Kansas City
Big-time playoff match between Sporting and STL City incoming. Didn't see that coming at the beginning of the season.
Strange and kind of frustrating that the first game of the series is Sunday at 9 PM CST. Will it be broadcast locally or only on Apple TV/MLS Pass?

Re: New Contruction by Zona Rosa
FYI: The Sonoco should be carrying 93 octane gas, which is good as the nearest others are BP in Platte Ridge and Smithville. Will be happy not to have to travel as far, as the BP is way more expensive than Smithville for the 93. I believe the former Pour Boys/Shell (now World Liquor) at North Oak a...

Re: Power and Light District Official Tenant List
Can someone identify which spaces these are going into downtown? Don’t remember the Mixx there LOL, because they were never open. Such a waste for what should have been a successful local tenant downtown. Anyway the Mixx space was under the clock tower and faced the interior central patio near H&am...

The woodwork and leaded glass windows were stunning. Heavy Mackintosh Arts & Crafts influence.

Did anyone else make it to the NE Historic Homes Tour last weekend?

Felt lucky to finally see the interior of 3616 Gladstone; surely ...

Re: OFFICIAL - New KCI Terminal
KC needs to improve the cell phone lot. It's cramped and too small and feels too much like an afterthought. Tonight I needed to park in the overflow lot, the regular lot was full. The overflow lot was almost full and cars were also parked along the Paris Street exit just off into the grass waiting ...

Re: Downtown Baseball Stadium
I'm actually more curious about NKC now than before (although not for a ballpark). It was very clearly never a serious bid for the Royals (at least as presented in the pie-in-the-sky renderings obliterating all of downtown NKC), but nonetheless the Merriman's have in fact amassed a huge amount of la...

Re: NBA to Kansas City
Yep, now the real work begins. Seattle is going to spread itself so thin like the Twin Cities on team support. Very ambitious but neither city can support NFL, MLB, NBA, WNBA, MLS, & NHL all at once, Seattle has an NWSL team too. It's crazy. ?? Seattle is a growing metro of 4M+, one of the weal...

I have faith the other components of the development will be built here; they have well-known and trusted players committed on the F&B side and the Neon Museum is also a lock. That said, I do think it will be unfortunate if they open the Wheel to the public before the development is at or near f...
