The style of how to teach is on the cusp of massive change. It's no longer about renovating inside the existing walls, it's about redesigning the entire inside. The pace of knowledge gain is dramatically outpacing our ability to memorize facts and figures. That everyone can learn the same basics of ...

Talk this this only serves to remind me that somehow Columbus Park is NOT the most desirable neighrborhood in KC and, for the life of me, I can't understand why. I ask this myself every day. it's industrial adjacent, has an unsafe vibe with the soil remediation needed for a good chunk of it, people...

we can't assume the city wouldn't sweeten a deal with easy access to land rather than incentives. Barney Allis Plaza already has more than enough space for a major parking garage and a major hotel and it's in the perfect spot. and any project will have both parts. while downtown has plenty of public...

compared to being at the Bannister complex, they have to be ecstatic about their new work location

or it could take up a larger footprint and be quite a bit shorter than that

like the palmer house hotel in Chicago has 1639 rooms in 25 stories. it's ~3/4 of a city block

It was rumored about a year ago that Casey's General Store bought that property. ? Wouldn't it be odd to have a Casey's right next to the Quick Trip? not really. it's quite common to have multiple gas stations at major intersections. A company called Red Spoon owns the land right next to McDonalds....

From downtown, Prairie Village time-wise is as close as the Legends is in travel time. The Interstate is that much faster Distance-wise it's about as far as 635 and I-70 in KCK Leawood at 89th is in a weird location to get downtown. Right now google maps shows following Ward Parkway to downtown at 2...

▪ James said the city is closer to getting a downtown convention hotel that it’s ever been.

“We really do need it,” he said.

I once knew someone that lived in Troostwood on the paseo. Anytime your home needs a huge bar on the back door the area needs work. But I would separate the homes right along the Paseo from the ones closer to the school. Even Rockhurst puts a big fence right along the Paseo a good idea for that area...

Right, I get you. I just can sympathize with what I perceive the intent to be, which is to say, a corporation trying to protect its IP from being used in ways it doesn't want it to be used. They may be wrong, misguided, and ultimately ineffective--worse, it would totally Streisand effect if they DI...

But that's just the sort of thing that they're unlikely to be able to prevent anyway. Sure, if the Streetcar Authority sends you a cease and desist, you might decide it's not worth getting sued over. But if there's any unauthorized usage that courts are quick to call fair use, it's using a governme...

Westwood, Roeland Park, Mission, Fairway, Prairie Village north of 75th

basically the parts that blend into Waldo and Brookside in feel and are NE of the northern reaches of Overland Park

1. Paseo West. basically The Paseo and the interstates surround it. it's downtown adjacent. it has some good existing businesses in it and it would bridge downtown with 18th and Vine, Pendleton Heights and such. it has great highway access. it has transit service and would be super easy to improve t...

for those who can't get downtown- in the river market the 5th/Grand intersection is getting nice earth red colored, faux brick patterned crosswalks. . The SB track slab now goes from half of the curve from 3rd through to just before 7th on the bridge and NB from the same bridge over I-70 to what I'l...

the best I can find is direct federal employee work can't be copyrighted. How does it work for a third party contract for a nonprofit state corporation using money obtained through a multi-state agency distributing federal funding, state-level transit district authorized funding and a municipal sale...

I pointed out a logo that's closer to a creative commons style. no need to ask, follow specific requirements that are the same for everyone, and it's yours to use

raygun will be the first to sell officially licensed streetcar swag, starting this friday: http://www.kcstreetcar.org/kc-streetcar-swag/ also: http://www.bizjournals.com/kansascity/news/2015/03/03/crossroads-store-will-sell-first-kc-streetcar.html Raygun owner Mike Draper said the streetcar helped ...

the docsis standard was introduced in 1997.

so cable Internet largely begins in the era of Windows 95.

the city gave more detail on the cost near the end of February with a budget item.
