There is an application in early stages for a liquor store with the creative name of River Market Liquor, at 114 W 5th St. I believe this is the All Nations Flag location. Do RM liquor licenses still get consent from adjacent property owners? Or did the city ditch that like they did in the loop? It...

I don't expect anything out of you, but I did at least expect you to know how more about golf before suggesting 845 yards is even remotely close a par 3. Sorry for any spelling mistakes, hard to type with a mouthful! I am a shitty golfer but if I hit my driver off the roof of the Star building, the...

I can't believe the shit some of you raggers are saying in support of this site. GRID, what a disappointment. What if it was just 14 businesses? And 14 owners who have redeveloped their buildings? I expect this crap from DcoleKC who sucks so much Cordish cock that he has to wear galoshes but this is...

The use of eminent domain may, indeed, be imminent but it is still a bonehead move in the case of the E. Xroads site.

I think lots of folks, including those who know nothing, underestimate how the public looks unfavorably on the use of eminent domain. It is unpopular and a dangerous addition to an already difficult argument (public financing of the stadium, even if just a fraction). It is also incredibly expensive ...

I call BS on that. Property owners are not going to neglect their properties in hopes that the next buyer can pursue tax abatement with blight as a factor and maybe get a higher sale price. That would be one dumb-assed strategy to make money in real estate. Receiving tax abatement is tenuous, at bes...

CPC denied blight designation. I'd recommend people watch the discussion to gauge the current temperature of the CPC. https://www.youtube.com/live/w8mvIM0iU44?t=2015 Can you summarize in a couple of words (for those of us who don't quite have the time to watch the video?) I'm assuming it isn't grea...

would love to see a top notch Natural History Museum or even one themed around the region and being the starting point for Western Migration. A lot of rich history to draw on from the immediate area, A Destination museum for Frontier Settlement & Exploration of sorts. I've been screaming for a ...

Not sure that has impact of what took so long to reopen the Hampton though which is what I think their question was. Yes, KCP, it opened and then flooded not long after. It's the re-opening that blew my mind, took even longer than the original full rehab. Had tubes coming out of it for quite a whil...

Man, that took forever. Would love to know the backstory and details, if anyone here knows the deal.

^ indeed. It was only a couple million dollar renovation.

I know I can't wait to see New Kids on the Block at the RedX Amphitheater.

Don't mess with Texas.

How many MODOT workers does it take to change a light bulb?

This is a very ambitious project. I sure hope they can pull it off.

Just my experience, but sentiment on East Side for any stadium tax is negative be it county, city, extension of 3/8. Think the K has concrete problems, how about concrete sidewalks that have dissolved into random fragments? Park and Blvd hardscapes damaged by car wrecks that never gets repaired bec...

I believe it was leaky pipes and subsequent mold.

People on this board who think the Star site can be assembled using eminent domain are, to be blunt, young and stupid. Not surprisingly, those same voices like to say the EV will get developed into something else better and quickly. The EV will not get developed quickly without a major anchor and a ...

Taxing citizens for a stadium is largely unpopular and it shouldn't be hard for even the fans of a downtown stadium to understand. But taking someone's property and forcibly relocating legitimate businesses is humungously unpopular and downright unAmerican. Fuck you if you want to demolish my perfec...
