Re: OFFICIAL: Power & Light District

i personally think that cordish probably thought the prospect of landing a major league team for the Sprint Center was almost a sure bet due to cheerleading from barnes, aeg, whomever.  the final tenant mix will almost certainly reveal that a few tenants pulled out due to lack of a major league tea...

Re: 18th Street Fashion Show

We got there at 8:30 and there was no place left with any view of the show.  We went behind the stage for a while, but it wasn't has fun. I'm glad the event is so successful, but it has definitely outgrown the location.  Maybe they could find another street nearby with more of an incline that would...

the boulevard expansion has a similar floor, although not as nicely done.

Re: URGENT! Places to take a stray kitten!

In 1995 the vet said my cat Minolta had feline leukemia. He's still alive and going strong today. I don't know what the deal with that was. if they're kept inside they will probably have a long life. otherwise, they have a higher likelihood of catching or dying from other infectious diseases or can...

People are lazy.  I had lunch with a buddy yesterday when I was downtown and found out that he hardly even eats lunch downtown.  They drive to Johnson County a couple times a week for lunch....even fast food like Taco Bell, which has a place in City Center Square.  I thought it was completely retar...

Re: Azul Latin Bistro - 1108 Grand

I checked the place out last night with some friends.  We liked it pretty well.  The chef even came out to get feedback.  It wasn't busy at all.  I counted about 13 people in there when we were in there.  They haven't done much marketing yet so hopefully their crowds will build.  Places like this s...
