Well it's tomorrow AM.  Are we there yet? Are we there yet?













um.....



Are we there yet?

Highlander, I agree with you that an INTERstate road system is a good thing. Nowhere did I say otherwise, I believe. What I have a problem with is ripping up and destroying neighbhorhoods so some fatass junior executive can get home to his trophy wife for pot roast in south Overland Park six minute...

The site has looked pretty deserted on the entertainment district web cam.  Absolutely no activity on the topside of the parking garage. 

I said nothing about two lane roads I was addressing both yours and Toss's posts in the same post (and was too lazy to use different quote boxes).  Sure, charge truckers more, I've got no problems with that but we would probably see the increased cost in the goods they deliver.  My point is that th...

From Business Week - Can't Stop Guzzling: Rising prices are supposed to curtail consumption. So why doesn't that hold true for American drivers? It does apply.  But the "breaking point" is substantially higher than previously believed.  Even at 3 dollars per gallon, Americans are only pay...

Really? - All I can picture when I see all of those trucks are the thousands of Americans that are killed and maimed as a result of massive taxpayer subsidisation of the trucking industry.  I look at that truck laying on top of an innocent motorist's car and can't help but wonder why we would allow...

The Sonics have officially been sold to the company who was looking to get the Hornets. The team will be moved to OKC winthin 2-3 seasons. yep, here' the story.  We'll see how they do over the long run there.  I'll try not to let my very dismal opinion of OKC affect my objectivity but I don't think...

Like another poster, I read a site a few years ago stating that the type of limestone underneath the city would be particularly easy to tunnel through, or something like that. I can't vouch for the veracity of that statement. Aside from that, while I think the skepticism regarding suspended fixed-g...

are you saying that the tax rate is lowered as fuel prices increase? or maybe thats not what you are saying. No, lowering taxes is not a common occurrence here.  When you pay 6$/gallon for gas, you've made the adjustments already.  You do not really notice an additional 50 cents here and there as t...

Highlander, here's Ft. Collins, which has the No. 1 ranking: Bars (within 15 miles) 375 (Ft.) 204 (Best Places Avg) You, of anyone, since you're living in England, know what a neighborhood asset the local pub can be.  That doesn't exist in OP at all.  You don't even see folks conversing around thei...

$3.00 is the new $2.00.  I don't think we'll see much change until it hits $4. It's over 6$/gallon here.  It's been that way for a long time and rises in price due to market conditions get buffered by the high tax rate on gas.  Nonetheless, the high price does cause some to conserve but I think mos...

My astute brother pointed out this figure to me: Bars  (within 15 miles) 44 (OP) 204 (Best Places Average) That's first strike right there. One of the problems with this board in general is that everyone seems to assume the entire population is similar to themselves.  If you are young and single, t...

If you look at the four fixed rail options available, subways in the inner city make about as much sense as any.  The big advantage with a subway is it does not have to compete for space with the existing infrastructure (except for maybe sewers) and building stock, nor does it interact with auto tra...

Me too...but I bet they do not fall under what we would call the "affordable" category. 

if i understood the project correctly, it's not happening because land is becoming more valuable or because a burgeoning office market is demanding more overall parking, it's because the owners of the office building across the street want to make their property more attractive to prospective tenan...

This will never, ever pass. It's way too much and it's unnecessary right now. We don't need a rail "loop" downtown, that's almost like saying we need a subway (100X the cost). We don't need anything in the West Bottoms, you're joking right? There's zero traffic between downtown and the We...

DT definitely need more parking garages and fewer parkinglots. Garages were abundant in Chicago, lots were few. The pre-eminence of parking garages over surface lots is a good barometer of land values and the overall health of downtown.  I hope the reason for this trend is that DT land is becoming ...

That sucks that they are going to rename the building to mainstreet theater. I like the Empire name but w/e. I thought it was always the Empire until I read the article!  That is one robust and healthy looking tree on the roof by the way....I figured it would just be a young rootling until I saw th...

Variations on a theme in Penn Valley Park.  5 men followed two into the park and robbed them, then shot them repeatedly in the head with a bb gun.  Do not know if this was an attempt to target gays or just a crime of opportunity but its no small matter.....it's armed robbery and I hope these guys do...

I"d have a difficult time participating in an online community where either one of those words is used freely and without consequences.  Or other racist/homophobic slurs.  I'm not suggesting that the board be squeeky clean but the descent into vulgarity whether it be ethnic slurs or commonly u...
