yeah, wtf?  sometimes people are injured accidentally by other people.  in this case, Dunn (or one of Dunn's subcontractors) probably miscalculated something, and this lady got hit by a piece of debris.  sucks for her, but it happens. she will contact her insurance company and an attorney.  the att...

I have really noticed the shorter yellows. It makes it real hard to stop without throwing all the stuff in your car onto the floorboard, or worse locking up the tires. I think a nice long yellow would be great. Or better yet, let the green flash three times at the end of it's cycle. That way you cou...

Hindsite is 20/20. And in hindsite, while I was a NO vote on Q1. I should have been, as everyone else, a YES on Q2. Because Q1 passing and the roof not is like a kick in the balls. We are shelling it out for the renovations and we don't get the free stuff. Maybe it will come back around again. Tacti...

There'll be plenty to talk about with all the construction that will be going on out at TSC.  This forum will be just as informative as the P&L district forum. When does construction begin? I would guess on the K as soon as the season is over. (October 1st by all accounts). I would guess they w...

mean wrote: Actually, the 25 years thing is probably bogus. The stadiums will need another major renovation before then, to stay "state of the art," lest the county risk defaulting again. I give it 10-15 years.

Made it 33 years the first time.

why wasn't this built downtown on one of the many, ugly surface lots near the Police Station? Just one more shortsighted oversight in a sea of thousands of small decisions that decentralize the city. Sprawl it out there KC! It's a huge complex that has a police station, driving range, and indor and...

9 News KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- A woman was injured Tuesday afternoon in an explosion at a construction site west of the County Club Plaza. It happened shortly after 4 p.m. at 48th Street and Belleview Avenue. Officials said the explosion was planned, and that the woman was hit by a piece of falling deb...

sweeney sucks. always has. he's always hurt. he's not any kind of leader or fielder. a bicycle has more clutch in it than sweeney does. his numbers are good for individual stats, but not the team. he's missed 634 games in 11 years with only 766 rbi's over that same period. with an obp of .374 for a...

Where is our private investment? Where are our Fortune 500 companies building new tallests downtown? KC is no Atlanta, Minneapolis, or St. Louis, but we are at least a Charlotte, Indianapolis, or Tampa. $1.2 billion on a roof for an outdated stadium is idiotic. How about $500 million on improvement...

You can see why Raymore is sprawling east and north to abut Lee's Summit.  Those neighborhoods can take advantage of better L.S. roads and have better shopping there.  For better or worse, growth near Mo-291 in Cass Co. will only accelerate with new shopping at the 291 intersections with M-150 and ...

yeah, certainly the fact that at the all star break almost every year the guy is in the top 10 in rbis, avg, hits, has nothing to do with it. please. Address the facts. He has never been voted to an allstar game. Prove me wrong. Or get ready for the "Black Knight" designation once again.

the pessimism, or apathy, is about a 5 time all star who likes kansas city and even as an oft injured player, still hits .300, with 80-85 rbi's, and gives a 100%. why lose that for prospects? you think if mintky re-establishes himself this year, or if ellarton wins double digits the next 2 years, a...

Plus Sweeney will not retire as a Royal. If he doesn't get traded in the next year or two, he is definitely gone once his contract is up in 2007. And Sweeney was talking about retiring last year, I don't think it was serious but still, doesn't make him sound like he will be around another 5 to 7 ye...

if he plays 6-7 or 8 more seasons, which, at 33 he easily could, he will get to 300 home runs, and 2,500 hits, with a career average of .300, and will have more then likely spent his whole career in one city. that, is a hall of fame career. easily. 300 home runs will start being the line or respact...

scott elarton is a good pickup so far, if he pitches like that all year, 3.00 era, i would be happy. Agree elmer dessens, if he pitches like that all year, i would be happy Elmer looked great. angel berroa, who, got a free pass from his coaches and manager last season to swing away all of the time,...

Me three.

No wait at Northfleet elementary. But there was a steady stream of voters in and out. I voted at 7am.

Typically I see the bigest turnout after work.

the thing is the people that turn out in mass for votes like this, are not vocal, at all. you have no idea how many of the rural type will turn out. I live in raytown and drive through midtown every day. Way fewer Yes signs in Raytown and Lees Summit then in midtown. My n-laws are rural and they ar...

Your numbers have been shown to be worthless propaganda.  From the Star today. ■ How much it will cost you. In advertisements and guest columns, stadium supporters have stated that the renovations will cost a typical Jackson County taxpayer about $1.50 a month, or the equivalent of a cup of coffee....
