It also depends on who shows up to vote and how much those people have educated themselves on Funk.  If the majority of the people showing up to vote are citizens who get their news/information from pro-Funkers, then we're all doomed!

Hmm - I thought ReVerse had reached an agreement w/Highwoods on the lease and was going to stay open.  Had brunch there just yesterday and always love it on a Sunday morning.

The thing is if the project would have gone bye-bye after the first bid you guys would have been all over him for losing another one. Because it would have been his responsibility to save it.  I think the best someone could say about Funk's involvement in this case is that his hands-off philosophy ...

I think this is a repeat of the Man vs. Food episode, no?

The way Highwoods has been going lately, I wouldn't be surprised if a Quiznos opens in the Baja 600 spot

I wanted to like it, but I'm shallow. I couldn't get over her using a Mac and turned it off.

LOL.  I watched this on Netflix streaming the other week and thought it was fantastic.  The sequel is playing at the Tivoli now - has anyone seen it?

Hmm - I never saw them open late enough to get a Missie B's surge (not that it didn't happen).  My problem with them was that the few times I ate there nothing really made me want to go back.  Food = average, decor = average, prices = above average.  If you're gonna open in a pre-fab strip mall with...

A little late on this, but Caliente Grill on 39th closed a couple of weeks ago.

I think it's being rezoned for the new Aveda salon that's expanding in the old Band & Oluffson (sp?) spot.

I find it interesting that Fox News is publicizing Missouri's passing of Prop C as some major milestone and proof that all Americans hate the new health care bill.  Shocking, I know, but they refuse to mention how underpublicized it was and that voter turnout was so low (below 25%).  Basically, we ...

After all, that's the point, right? Get people to spend money here, to make money here, to live here, etc, so that the city can take its share of taxes out and everything will be awesome? Well, we've been working on that for a while. That IS the point of any economic policies.  In regards to the ex...

Very excited! Howard was the chef at Room 39 a few years ago - great food and a really great guy.

Let's hope the people in town for the national tournaments end up getting tickets to the game Saturday.  Seems a natural that soccer players/fans/families from out of town would have a lot of interest in that.

speaking of crazy people, has anyone caught jim lepper's act?  he is running against jolie justus for missouri's 10th district senate seat.  he is running as a "democrat" but he's really a frothing at the mouth conservative.  he came to the hyde park neighborhood association meeting last ...

Interesting article on downtown Louisville possibly adding 840 new hotel rooms, with financing through HUD to finally build the Museum Plaza and put a Westin and a lower-priced brand hotel in it.  Two additional hotels would open downtown.  Opposition echos that in KC on whether new hotels are neede...

Maybe the projections included assuming an NBA or NHL tenant in the Sprint Center that would provide another 15,000 or so people spending money during home games?

It's also to make sure the curbs are in compliance w/ADA, and the crosswalks have raised edges so visually impaired people know when they're outside of the crosswalk.  IF MAINCOR is paying streetscaping, I'm all for it, but I wish they wouldn't have decided to do all of the intersections at the same...

God damn, best post I have seen on this forum, or any place in Kansas City media in years. I'm affraid to read the KC star comments, listen to 980 etc.  Won't get near those right now with that P&L story out. Unfortunately Fang's comments will never register with those who are vehemently oppose...

I was just wondering why there is no letter of support from any of the council members, the council itself or Mr Funkhouser.

The mayor is out of town an his wife is probably in charge of all of his communications.
