It's too bad about the switch from the hotel because the lobby was perfect for a hotel. I'm not surprised this was the outcome though.

Re: Is KC Tenants destroying the development future of downtown KCMO?
The City should encourage some of the torpedoed developments to present again, and then point to the Parade Park Homes redevelopment when KCT protests. That neighborhood is going from the current 510 townhouses to 1065 affordable units. They have doubled the number of residences there. The City coul...

I don't know why they are planning new commercial space seeing that the Jazz District is adding some more, and the district has had problems attracting commercial and retail.

Re: OFFICIAL: Power & Light District
There are several places downtown that a place like Shakespeare's Pizza could expand into from Columbia. There would be a built-in customer base of former MU students. Does anyone know if Simmons Bank is taking over the entire Bonfils Building at 1200 Grand or just a portion of it? They might also d...

Re: 5th and Main (Northwest Corner)
I understand this point of view, and it makes sense. But on the other hand, people visiting the River Market are going grocery shopping. If you've got two reusable bags loaded down with fruits and vegetables, you don't want to walk very far lugging that around. If I buy a couple watermelons at the ...

Re: 5th and Main (Northwest Corner)
When you downplay the number of households in the City Market as your measure, you are forgetting something. The City Market's current model has businesses making most of their money on the weekends and they think they need free parking for that. Having additional residents all week might be a bette...

The fact any party received a federal loan doesn't mean anything regarding practices.

Re: Condos near Federal Reserve
And that last low rise section standing was the psych ward. I was changing residences and wanted to get rid of an aquarium collection so I dumped my fish into the psych ward aquarium. My fish promptly ate the resident fish as patients watched. That story is like a scene out of Curb Your Enthusiasm.
