Re: Plaza move-ins (ongoing)
We use "on" as a preposition to show a location or direction.
That shows how poor our understanding of English grammar is, and I had to look it up too.

Re: OFFICIAL: The Streets at Metcalf (Metcalf South redevelo
The flashcube office towers to the south are also struggling, if a half-empty (or more) parking lot is any indication. I don't think the use of all of the space is for "offices". Think quite a bit of the space is dedicated to equipment and monitoring stations. Given Sprint used to be in i...

Re: OFFICIAL: The Streets at Metcalf (Metcalf South redevelo
Was in the shopping center with Micro Center (93rd and Metcalf) it's at least 50% empty on the small storefronts. So that's three corners with poor retail coverage. A great example that having the only type of a store in the region doesn't mean your shopping center will do well if you can't get peo...

Re: Downtown KCK
It's not like there's not enough vacant space or underutilized buildings and land in the same general area. Vacant or underutilized doesn't mean the land is available to develop. What if 50% of it is owned by speculators waiting for rent rates to reach a certain point. Someone would need to kicksta...

Re: American Royal leaders propose tearing down Kemper
Personally, I wouldn't live in the West Bottoms for that reason, because even if my apartment or loft was on the second or third floor of the building, and at little risk of flooding, a major flood would mean I couldn't get into my apartment for days or weeks if it did flood. There are plenty of ot...

Re: American Royal leaders propose tearing down Kemper
I'm still not convinced of the wisdom of the West Bottoms becoming a residential area again--especially new residential buildings built from scratch. I have less reservations about converting existing warehouses to lofts. The West Bottoms used to have houses, but they were wiped out by flooding. I ...

Re: American Royal leaders propose tearing down Kemper
I'm not sure where "overlooking I-670" comes from. If you look at the site , it's a ways away from 670 and the views aren't too bad as far as that area of the WB goes. Perhaps that was supposed to refer to the easy access to 670? sorry, that's the apartments Mr. Haw was mentioning buildin...
