I think Yael meant to post his column in our "Is St. Louis even relevant thread".

What a troll column.

Completely agree. This would be a nice return for Stanford's to westport & reuse of the Beaumont club.

^ I agree that I wish it was taller. For comparison though H&R Block's HQ is 17 floors compared to this building @ 23... not sure how the residential compares to the commercial though.

Downzoning, density, and overlay districts also had a good night. There was a good discussion about appropriate levels of density is almost a block-by-block undertaking. The example of South HP having apartments on the E-W streets and SFH on the N-S streets came up as an example of how neighborhood...

That is a pretty good line up!

Also, buzz under the stars night one has a really good line up as well- for only $25. KC has a great concert season lined up...wish i had more money/time.

Any interesting nuggets of info from the meeting you care to share?

There are a lot of things in the regulatory world that work along the lines of "if we don't hear anything in a timely fashion, we'll assume that we're good to go." The company seems to have evidence that they applied when they should have, and it sounds like the permit is really to ensure...

Most is a stretch. We probably have 24 inches on the ground currently (which is what the map reflects), but that is the highest measurement they have....meaning the mountain areas could easily have lots more than that. In speaking to my sister tonight (who lives in Grand County) she said they have a...

Its a great cause and its kind of cool they are HQ here. Why are they HQ anyway? Its Co Founded by Matt Damon and it appears to be a fairly high profile/Hollywood type of charity. It just seems like it would do just make more sense if they were located in LA, NY or DC to tap a large potential of do...

Done!

KC KS planning regulations prohibit metal as a exterior building finish. But Cerner's Architects gave all kind of reassurances that it was very high quality stainless steel that wouldn't rust or cast glare from the sun that would cause drivers on 435 to wreck their cars. I hope the finished product...

wow, thats a huge fire. hope the whole block doesn't go down. seems like a gas fire the way that is roaring.

conversion of walnut and baltimore to 2-way traffic starts in march and will be complete by may 1. main street I-670 bridge replacement is anticipated to be "pre-lid" (i.e. not prevent that project from advancing). don't expect the walnut portion of the viaduct @ 20th to ever reopen. So t...

Great article on the MLS website about a European prospect choosing to come to the States to play-specifically in KC.
