Out of curiosity, is downtown office vacancy something that any civic group in KC is tracking outside of the real estate folks? Is it important to the Mayor? Council? Downtown Council? Chamber of Commerce? Are there groups actively using this metric as their success metric? It is a huge deal covered...

KCK has no idea what they are doing, but good luck to them. KCK's Planning Director was born and raised KCMO, instrumentational with BNIM for the KCMO streetcar expansion and was previously Senior Urban Designer with SOM in LA. What credentials are you looking for? Again, you are arguing with the w...

What? Get over yourself. I have always wanted KCK's downtown to thrive. Have you ever considered that transit connections are one of the ways that urban places thrive? Blame others all you want. The city of KCK and Kansas in general are who have ignored KCK. The entire state revolves around ONE cou...

All will be forgiven for Dillard's, if having a larger department store means additional luxury stores (LV, Gucci) along Nichols Road. I know most of us will never buy/step foot in places that sell $2000 sweaters, but it's still an economic draw for the City to have some big label shopping for folks...

This is the most imaginative, stimulating, coherent, practical (yes, practical!) concept to come out of an urban planning in Kansas City in a generation. https://youtu.be/WNo7U8WK6OM?t=1768 Bravo Gunnar Hand! Except for the fact that KMCO drags developers through years of drama to get projects appr...

If Oak Park loses two big anchors, but the rest of the mall remains fairly stable, I could see this going to way of Westfield Old Orchard in Skokie Illinois. They’ll build some mixed-use buildings in a bid to start turning the mall into something more of a neighborhood hub rather than standalone de...

Nordstrom cannot be far behind. I wonder if they'll just abandon KC. Open Rally House Superstores and give the people what they want.

(yawn)

1st time seeing them but awesome show! To be honest I had no idea there was a 3rd theater in Crown Center Did u go tonight (Friday)? How would u describe the experience? I may check it out tomorrow. The 3rd theater was formerly American Heartland Theater-- closed when Halls took over the mall. I lo...

I would be surprised if there isn't anything sold on site/nearby I don't think they can legally do a point of sale at the site so they do delivery with online sales. Will cannabis be sold at 420Fest? Yes. You may choose a delivery option only. To have these options you will need to download the Bes...

https://www.thepitchkc.com/content/uploads/2023/02/j/y/wiz.png Pretty epic way for them to open 4/20. https://www.thepitchkc.com/wiz-khalifa-comes-to-kc-for-smokey-river-entertainment-districts-inaugural-4-20-fest/ You're gonna get A LOT of folks traveling in from out of state to attend to this.

Would Joco people take a park-and-ride Saturday only transit option to/from the OP Farmers Market? I think if it looked cool/cute, it could be a family thing for people down there.

Farmers Markets these days can generate more gridlock on a weekend than most concerts.

Maybe Chick-fil-A or Whataburger can be contracted to run Arrivals at KCI.

Maybe they should crate a composting center!

Great looking bluegrass program happening tomorrow March 7th in the hinterlands of KC in Western Wyandotte County starting with Dr. Mike Pettengell

Anyone going? Loving the theme. Maybe Kansas City should adopt 'Bright Western Americana' as the brand of the city. https://ci.ovationtix.com/36672/production/1151220 Blast off into the world of Whiskey Dynamite, a nonsensical neo-western cabaret! Caught in a line dance between the rowdy ruckus and ...

Damn them carpetbaggin' Indy investors! Trailerkid, do you realize how parochial you sound? This is a perennial complaint in KC. KC hates outsiders. All the while out of town developers - MAC, Cordish, Lux and others move this city forward Where are real estate investors moving KC specifically?

I still want to turn that ugly convention center roof into a High Line-style park. No way anyone wants to live on the west side of this building facing the convention center. I would have made the entire BAP into highrise apartments except for a small strip in front of the Music Hall that bridge/ra...
