Re: Domestic Auto Industry
Dave, you might need to rethink you attitude. truth be told, i have considered fords recently and even convinced a friend to buy a brand new focus based on my experience with my b/f's '03 ZX3 (and the phenomenal warranty). since then, however, ford has botched the focus makeover and eliminated all ...

Re: KC Terminal Railway work?
looks like they're just repairing and moving that dilapidated piece of track. so now the question is: what are they planning to do with it?

Mercury, Ford, Chevrolet, and Buick all beat out foreign brands like Nissan, Acura, Subaru, BMW, and Volkswagen. Toyota and Mercury almost tied. the first ...

Re: Creating a Bi-State Culture Tax
But we continue to shoot ourselves in the ass. My lord, I just got off the Aquarium thread, and people are arguing for putting it on the Riverfront. THE RIVERFRONT! What is there? Why would we do that? Why does the concept of asset-concentration scare KC-ians so much? because it's downtown a...

Re: I-35 Bridge in Minneapolis collapses
But with the design/build scheme we will not even know what it looks like till the contract is given. No starchitect, no great design I bet. didn't we get an extra bump in federal funds specifically to move up to a "signature" bridge? doesn't take a starchitect to come up with something ...

Re: OFFICIAL: The Broadway KC condos
did you call the sales office? i know one of the sellers and one of the developers (i dealt with them both on my condo) and i'm sure they'd give you a reasonable update on where things are. but just based on the fact that they haven't demolished the existing structure, i'd say they're probably not m...

Re: Kansas City Aquarium
I would think they could construct it on the parking lot north of Washington Park. From there it would be easy to connect it via the skywalk to US. I assume they could also do a connection under Main Street directly into US. The BC/BS building is the only thing on the lot. It could be construct...

Re: Sprint service downtown
i have had this exact problem, but only intermittently and only of late. it doesn't appear to affect text messages or calls from other sprint customers, so it's not a huge deal to me. the appropriate thing to do is -- i know, i know -- call customer service to report the problem, whether they believ...

i have a windowless master bedroom, but the downside is that it is adjacent to the 1st floor common hallway... hence i get noise from anyone and everyone who uses either entrance, the elevator, or decides to whistle/chat/bark in the hallway. i'll take sirens, construction, and sunlight. but yeah, i ...

Re: Independence Transit Center
The new bus plaza is far flung on northeast edge of the Square and across a major roadway, Truman Road. I'm not sure this is better for passengers. It's too bad they didn't build the transit center at one of the 2 surface lots on either side of Osage where the buses used to meet. and it's as far aw...

so i assume the city ended up rebuilding them? so if they needed work to support LRVs the city would be responsible again?aknowledgeableperson wrote: All of the bridges have been rebuilt since the mid 80's. They should have been earlier but there was a disagreement between the city and the railroads who was responsible.
