The state maintains too many roads and will certainly spend a lot of this on new and unnecessary stuff, but we do need to repair roads and bridges. Have we forgotten broadway bridge fiasco already? It's certainly not perfect, but it can't be better and still pass. It is unpopular (and illegal) to to...

A retail only use would probably be feasible on this site. but if you wanted to do apartments, you couldn't put many units per floor due to the irregular shape and small size. I don't see many apartment buildings build under 100 units downtown, to get that on this lot, you'd probably need 18-25 stor...

The combined company would provide a cost-of-living adjustment to employees who move to Washington state from Kansas, T-Mobile President Mike Sievert said, but that would be an uncommon occurrence. An adjustment... down? For moving from KCMO metro to Seattle metro - I think that would be an adjustm...

For real, if I was going to go back to the past, I'd buy all the stock I could, forget about antiques.

Cordish got the same result because the architects were all given the same parameters and told to make them look like a family of buildings. If you are given the same canvas and paint as another artist, and told to make your painting look like it is from the same collection, it will look pretty simi...

Shields is trying to get the scooter tax revenue put into the new affordable housing fund.

It wouldn't go far towards affordale housing, but it does keep the money from being used for mobility lanes.

I’m sure and not surprised. But, we have the choice not to participate in someone else’s pathetic life. People like Scott Wagner, who questioned Kander's motivations in a statement today. I know I joked about it, but that's actually pretty disgusting. [/quote Wow, link to what Wagner said? “If the ...

Some internet commenter is probably already screaming about this being a deep state conspiracy to elect Jolie Justus empress of Kansas City. I’m sure and not surprised. But, we have the choice not to participate in someone else’s pathetic life. People like Scott Wagner, who questioned Kander's moti...

Can we at least take a minute before talking about the political ramifications of an, obviuously, very tough decision by Jason? Hello time traveller, welcome to the cruel, unforgiving battleground that is politics in 2018. I very much recommend that you return to the undoubtedly more civilized time...

ETA: I also don't think it's fair for them to ask for tips prior to them actually delivering the food. At Parlor, you have to pay/tip as you order. So, in essence, it's more of a "good faith donation" than a "tip." A "good faith donation" is just a fancy term for a bri...

Another quibble I have is related to tipping. This isn't just a Parlor thing, tipping for counter service has now become an industry wide thing. Why am I being prompted to tip for counter service? Worse at Parlor because suggested tips on the register start at 20% and go to 30%. What service am I r...

Vancouver has a lot of larger apartment buildings especially in the less commercial part of their downtown that have apartments or condos on the ground floor that open directly to the street (higher levels have their own entrance) Is there something in the US zoning code that prevents this? It usua...

A cargo bike would work well to pick up scooters, and it wouldn't take that long to break even, depending on the cost of the bike. I bet you could fit 10 scooters at least on it, so- 2000(10*$3)=66 days. Making two trips a day and mixing some limes in there would have it down under a month. Not bad,...

The Star article now has a new rendering that is superimposed onto a streetview image that I can't be bothered to post. I think this is about as good as we are going to get, since the Uptown has to retain most of its parking during construction. I agree that the hotel is likely vaporware.

Names like that can take, and last for decades. I like Martini Corner because it came from something specific locally as opposed to calling a neighborhood "The East Village," and sort of stealing it from another city for place-making purposes. What is called "The East Village" n...

^ Thanks for the redundancy but that wasn't a part of the discussion in the thread RE: YJ's. A million Kansas Citians including every single news "reporter" stupidly refer to anything east of Troost as the "East Side." Old School KC's know that the "East Side" was alwa...

Why did they build such a big garage, and place the tower on top of it, when the hotel's location is suburban and there is so much land around it?

To match the ridiculously overbuilt interchange, duh.
