The Fairfax plant built planes (B-25's I believe) during WW II. Leaving the plant they could be flown from the Fairfax Airport to where they were needed. After the war cars took over. While growing up my neighbor worked at this plant.
The Leeds plant built Chevy's I believe.

A stadium on crossing the state line presents many difficulities. Sales tax rates Law enforcement Liquor laws Income taxes paid by players and entertainers and other issues. Besides, this location would have to have a higher cost for infrastructure improvements. Water lines, sewer lines, streets, hi...

Don't forget. Independence Center was on the ropes for awhile until the population and development occurred around it. The Great Mall will be the same. It was built before the population was there to support it.

KCK did not take the Fairfax plant from KC. The current Fairfax plant replaced an older GM plant located in Fairfax. Believed it was called the BOP plant.

Who said OP was smart? Attach to the CC would make sense but that is a different development by different developers. That is the problem. It is developers selling the idea and what is best for them, not what may be best for OP.

Let OP build their arena. It will lose money along with their loser of a convention center.
Really, this arena will not hurt KC's arena. It may take some dates but if Sprint Arena is hurt by this then it doesn't say much for the viability of the arena.

Well, at least tiny Sugar Creek has a plan for its riverfront. Kansas City still cannot seem to get to the plate with its dream for the riverfront.

akp...I don't agree with that. When I tell people I'm from KC, they bring up the Chiefs/Royals/BBQ/Plaza...never say wow that's a cowtown or act like it's a small place. Come on. I brought up the cowtown quote as a lark. However, don't forget about all the uproar about the cattle drive through down...

9 is the best because of a relative being an on-air talent there.

Are people talking about KCMO itself or the KC region? If one is talking about KCMO the one thing that hurts is the geographical size of the city, so much undeveloped or underdeveloped land that does not help the tax base. Another is the Hancock Amendment that requires a popular vote for a tax incre...

Amount of time to walk is relative. 10 minutes is too much in a blizzard or in a cold hard rain or if it is 110 degrees out. 30 minutes or more on a nice spring or fall day with birds chirping is not enough. Where I live walking is not much of an option unless you are out to just take a walk. Howeve...

How many hits can a tub take before it shatters? Recently I had a high school reunion. Looking at the current student body, and in my mind comparing it to the kids I graduated with, I don't believe the current kids are fatter. They are bigger in height and corresponding weight, but fatter - no. Of c...

I am optimistic about the Chiefs. Optimistic that they are not going to the Super Bowl. Or is it the Supper Bowl? Or the Stupor Bowl? Doubt that the offense will be as good as last year and little or no improvement in the defense. They may even be a long shot to make the playoffs. Well, I was parti...

But livin' in the urban areas can kill you. Just look at the murder numbers in the city compared to the suburbs.

The main smells are from the primary sewage treatment plant that is one the west side of 435 and south of Front Street. You will not move that plant because of the Blue River nearby and the sewage lines already in the ground. There is also a secondary sewage treatment plant on the east side of 435 a...

This tread reminds me of an Everly Brothers song
Dream, Dream Dream Dream, all I have to do is Dream.

Devin - get outside, enjoy the weather. You are young. Staying by the computer will make you older faster then you want to be.

Where do you think the people will go after the game? Sure some will go home but i betcha half of the local fans will go downtown and all the visitors will go downtown... The people have to go home or hotel rooms to recoup. Most are too drunk and/or full of food to do anything else. The rest are to...

To build a football stadium in the West Bottoms would be a disaster. Have you ever been in a crowd of 15,000 trying to get to Kemper? Logjam. Infrastructure improvements would probably cost more than the stadium. And flooding is a possible. In '93 the Kaw river was within inches of going over the le...
