Looks like this will be the first hotels in Missouri for Chartwell Portfolio. There will now be 3 Residence Inns in a 4 mile stretch of KC

Sorry, I thought I had put this in the Chicago/KC Expressway thread. Yeah, I am use to taking 35 to 80 but I am really getting sick of the truck traffic and slow pokes on 80. I think i will just stick to 35 to 36/72 to I-55

Has anyone taken this route to Chicago? I will be heading to chicago Friday but I was thinking I-72 to I-55 would be faster, the CKC route seems like it would zig zag through small towns once you hit the Illinois border North to I-80

Did anyone see that halftime story on big Charlie's saloon in south Philly. Its kind of cool to see a chiefs bar in a working class neighborhood of south philly

Vacant Space wouldn't exist or be greatly reduced with a Land Value Tax. Lets say we charge a tax that is 10 times higher on an empty lot/vacant/unproductive building vs if the lot had a productive building on it, i guarantee you whoever owns that land is going to try to do something with this empty...

Ballpark Village and Detroit are perfect examples of why we need to have a land value tax instead of taxing property. It seems so backwards that people/corporations can just sit on mountains of land with little risk while they wait for something to develop. If these empty lots were taxed higher Capi...

Hampton Inn's are not really that prevalent in downtown areas in most cities, i mainly see them off highways next to cracker barrells. If they wanted to make a boutique style, hotel Indigo would have been a perfect brand and i don't believe there are any IHG brand hotels downtown. I would actually ...

Another bakery/restaurant is going into the former Napoleon bakery spot on westport rd by the holiday inn.

New Restaurant opening on the other side of Broadway - Westport and Central to be exact.

I think a solid ownership and management group like Nick and Jakes will finally keep a restaurant here for a long time. If this fails then I don't know if anything will be able to survive there.

Wonder if 810 Zone would have been interested in this property when they pulled out of the plaza location.

^I just saw that today. Wonder if they will still operate the one in the City Market

Midtown school even made the news, hopefully the momentum can really build on this

Our Metros in the US are way to large to even be compared to European Cities/Metros. You could most likely fit the metros of Brussels, Lyon, Antwerp, Nice, Bordeaux, and Marseilie all within the Boundaries of KC and be leftover with Platte County to spare. Brussels is a very dense metro, in some spo...

It seems like it went to crap once the Original Chef left, not sure where the original chef even went

I really hope the Midtown Community School Initiative can get something accomplished. They might have a more difficult time than the Hale Cook group, without the advantage of the leader being married to a school board member. What are the options for locations of the school? Derrick Thomas was brou...

This will be nice for that part of westport, its really kind of isolated and kind of lonely around that area on weekend nights. That is the area I always park when going to westport on the weekends, so many parking spots available in that area.

Well this is the worst possible way to go into a 5 game series with Detroit.

Right now the choice is between enrolling at Border Star for P3, or chancing it in the AL lottery at K. We love Border Star, but the drive from Midtown to 63rd and Wornall every day is kind of a hassle. I wonder how the Crossroads Arts Academy charter school is doing. Wonder if its actually a good ...
