You guys still just don't get it.

So, they're going to vote themselves a 1% sales tax increase?!? They don't even vote to fund the zoo.

Well, it’s not. But if this is what he’s posting, it’s because it’s true. They aren’t going anywhere besides to one of our surrounding counties (at the worst). And I’m not really scared about that too much if it’s the Chiefs. All the fear about Chiefs moving to Dallas and Royals to a dozen other pl...

I think the Chiefs are off to KS and the Royals are off to NKC and Jackson County will continue to deteriorate outside of Lee's Summit and western KCMO. Have you been to Lees Summit lately?! I mean Raintree is ok if you like that sort of thing but most of the rest is just 1970s split levels. It’s S...

Honest to God, I’m getting annoyed at everyone saying the Royals are going to Nashville or Salt Lake City. Now we’re talking about potentially Oakland (a city that doesn’t give a shit about the A’s)? Give it a rest. Seriously. The Royals are not leaving the KC Metro. Anyone saying they’re leaving c...

What I can't wait for is the Arrowhead renovation AFTER this one. In 30 years, Arrowhead will be old enough to be seen as a classic structure masterclass, kind of like how mid-century modern houses are now sought after and super-valued. The narrative will switch from "how do we modernize this 1...

Arrowhead name is owned by the County, I believe. No, “Arrowhead West”.

And the first speculation of the departure of one of the teams is already hitting national news with the Dallas Mayor making statements about Dallas going after the Chiefs for a second NFL team in the Dallas area. https://www.fox4news.com/news/dallas-mayor-kansas-city-chiefs Already told my friend ...

Weird, the people who make these decisions disagree with you. Today at least. Not sure how many times I'm going to have to explain how Cordish played a role here. They wanted downtown baseball, they didn't twist arms into the East Crossroads site. There was some nudging but it wasn't by Cordish. We...

It's starting to sound like downtown baseball is gone. Could just be the initial gut reaction of those in power but this is a sad week in Kansas City development history. It doesn't matter whose fault it is. Naw, just your EC site is dead. I had someone message me today that said, “They did the har...

Manny Abarca says teams met with governor of Kansas this morning. EDIT: Just the Chiefs KCDowntown Gotta say, Abarca seems like one of the biggest “the sky is falling!!!” people I’ve ever seen! Someone should teach him to negotiate. Poker face, Manny. And why is anyone surprised about the Chiefs ru...

This feels a little bit like everything political: wait til the absolute last minute digging for the best deal on both sides. I expect we’ll get a stadium racing to be built before the stadium lease expires in 2031.

How do you know it was even her? FB is notorious for fake accounts. I cannot imagine someone in that position making a tone deaf post like that the day after an election even if it accurately portrays the most likely scenario. Why don’t you just go look for yourself? Search her name. Friends with t...

No, this was her quote from the comments. Direct copy.

unfortunately neither team will work with Jackson County again. They had been working behind the scenes for two years attempting to get a location approved. Which was I think Frank Whutes plan all along. In any case most unfortunate for sports fans in KC. The lack of leadership has lost the city tw...

Anyone see Marny Sherman’s (Johns wife) posts on FB today about moving to Kansas?

I have lived here 25 years and what I would tell anyone is if you don't like the way KC is right now, you will not like it in 25 years, because not much changes here and not much is going to. Sincerely. Oh come on! In the last 25 years we have a new streetcar line, Sprint Center, P&L Dustrict, ...

I suggested they could ride the streetcar and their response was "are you kidding". That was pretty much the prevalent attitude of almost everyone I know that voted no. People on this board are likely very forward thinking. Most people aren't. They can't envision something before they act...

^^^ Drunk in Thailand and it still makes loads of sense. Talk about residual benefit to the Historic NE, potential for rail transportation further east, jobs for real people... This campaign had zero passion.

Flashy ads and paid people knocking on doors do not win an election, at least in this town. What wins an election is passionate advocates who will sell the plan to their neighbors, people who live in the urban core now but whose parents still live in Raytown or Blue Springs and will sell the vote ov...

East Village isn't coming back on the table. The Royals are all in on this site. The city will have to get more involved and the city leaders want this in East Crossroads, not EV. Things change, just like “we have two sites selected” and “we will be removing Oak St” and “we will eminent domain east...
