Re: Dairy Farmers of America relocating HQ to KCKS

It isn't really a sure thing yet is it? The article says a site in KCK and a site in MO.

Title of the article is "KC's largest private company may be moving to KCK"

Re: River Market West

So with these wood frame popup apts with brick facade, how well do they fire/soundproof between units? The Fountains W of Plaza and City Place Westport were done quite poorly I hear but newer technologies are supposedly better with fire/soundproofing. Are the new wood frame/brick facade developers ...

Re: Do you have or plan to get Google Fiber?

Anyone here in the Google Fiber TV New UI trusted tester group? I didn't join that one so wondering how its going so far for whoever joined. I was super excited to join, but then I found out I would need to give up all of my recorded TV and got less excited. I also have already implemented my own A...

Re: River Market West

Random thought for the day... So if some random car drives into the corner of RMW would a quarter of that building come down? Looks like all wood holding up all of those floors. More worried about random matches, right now. But they used a little flame retardant paper rolls! I was thinking the same...

It's kinda fun to go back to the posts in this thread from April and May of 2014. I'm going to go out on a limb here and say that this year pretty much proved folks on this forum's predictions don't mean a whole lot.

I am not gonna cherish this moment the way some of you apparently will. I won't necessarily be happy about such an ending, but I sure as Heck will be happier than if the Royals didn't make it to a postseason Wildcard game. I personally "cherish" the fact that so many folks are still talki...

Yawn. Postseason is "after the end of the regular season." Don't give a #*%! whether the wildcard game is not something we had back in 80 and 85 when I last enjoyed watching postseason games. Negative Nelly's (not negative Ned's) will be what they are. I do want the Royals to make it to th...

Re: GO ROYALS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I've always pulled for the Royals after watching them through my youth in the 70's and 80's and then being crushed over and over since then. This is not the best team in baseball by any means, but they have been incredibly fun to watch. They certainly have their best chance to make the postseason in...
