Re: Westport
Looks like the shabby building on the SE corner of 39th/Broadway caught fire last night. Sounds kind of extensive. Maybe this will lead to demo and development of something more urban and appealing. https://www.kshb.com/news/local-news/fire-crews-respond-to-blaze-in-midtown-kansas-city-thursday-night

Re: Downtown Baseball Stadium
Mammoth's release of renderings of the stadium is laughable on the nostalgia front. Copper in the design to remind people of the Star printing plant that used to be there, brick to remind people of the West Bottoms - who cares?!? Just design something that works. Modern to somewhat mirror the T-Mobi...

Re: Troost developments
I hope Ollie Gates isn't involved - I'm not a fan of what the area transitioned into. The best I can say is that a lot of junkety sections got cleaned up, but there is soooo much wasted, empty space. I feel like if any other developer had done that there would have been screams of gentrification. Si...

I feel like the new sushi place could be successful in a location even bigger than the t.Loft space.

Re: OFFICIAL - New KCI Terminal
A shuttle could stop at only one or two places to let people off (not on) at, while a bus could stop at every block if riders required. Shuttles could also be designated as destinations like downtown/Plaza or JoCo and not have any stops in between.

Re: OFFICIAL - New KCI Terminal
Using the Rate Information Card going from KCI to my home in Volker would cost a minimum of $64.30 plus traffic delay time. Super Shuttle is $47. How is there not a company running a bus or van from the airport to downtown-ish and charging $40? There is a bus to downtown and instead of $40.... it's...

I'm a KU alum and am happy for the purple lighting. Union Station is only around today because of the Bi-State Tax approved by Johnson County so it makes complete sense to me.

Re: Oak Park Mall
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...

Re: Oak Park Mall
Oak Park really needs to figure their shit out. That Dillard's South store is huge, but at least it does have some covered parking attached to it. That Nordstrom store is way to big and their target demographic has continued to move further south. I don't see it sticking around in it's current form ...

Re: TIME TO FREAK OUT AGAIN ABOUT CONFERENCE REALIGNMENT! THE BIG 12 IS DEAD! MAYBE!
Over the past 5-6 years I've become convinced the selection committee is more concerned about ratings from potential second/third round matchups or other appealing storylines than fair and equitable matchups based on their own parameters like Kenpom or Quad 1 wins. It doesn't make sense to try and m...

Re: KCI Flight Schedule Adjustments
I wonder what kind of return on investment would result from KC offering something like Icelandair but where travelers to the US from Europe could take advantage of a one or two night layover before proceeding to another destination?

It seems like a dispensary on site would make a killing during this festival and during weekends throughout the year. Where's the nearest one in relation to this location?

Re: Downtown Baseball Stadium
I have to wonder about the funding mechanism if built in NKC. Does that mean JaxCo (pop. 700,000+) residents are off the hook, but Clay County (pop. 250,000+) would foot part of the bill? I'd hate to see downtown KC miss out on any real synergy for existing businesses and future neighborhood investm...

Re: NE Corner of 14th & Wyandotte (300 unit apartment)
I wouldn't mind so much if they at least flipped the design so the shorter building is on the south and 30 floor building on the north...at least some stepping to mirror the P&L building.
