It's a known fact that GB liked to wear a dress.

Sounds like... rondo!

What, no wind dancers and bunting?

Taxi, I also found a peer cities analysis from Denver of the Kansas City real estate market that claimed this for the downtown residential condo market: "Condominiums in Kansas City are averaging $350-$400 per square foot--22." Found on page 15 of the analysis. The footnote refers to a Do...

Link isn't working for me. Nonetheless, I offer the following... The kicker is: without incentives, I'd guess normal construction costs would be around $100-$150 a foot. With incentives (prevailing wage, WBE/MBE etc.), costs are closer to $200 a foot. How messed up is that? With interests rate as lo...

Only the janitors, teachers, etc. have to live in the state.

I've seen this movie and it is very good. Highly recommend it!

That is a brilliant idea!

Anyone know how much it would cost to move a house like that, about 5 miles?

That would be a cool thing to have. The sign, that is.

I think that deal didn't work out.

I miss ol' butterbreath.

I did not say in all cases, I said in this case.
Asinine? This one goes to aseleven.

And, the fact that this development couldn't find a buyer when it was essentially being given away is a very telling story. That is not telling nothing. That auction occurred during a very difficult time, as far as lending and real estate goes, and there are few buyers around that can pay cash, whi...

PS did not buy the building or any of it, they are merely lessees. When you have more than a billion dollars, like past and present owner Mr. Van Tyle, you can do whatever you want. Which, invariably, does not include burning money. All of these cats are spending money, scratching each others' backs...

Most businesses aren't in the practice of burning good money, so we have to assume that there were design flaws that couldn't be overcome. Anyone who says that the old unfinished structure could not be adapted for reuse by lawyers or nearly anyone else has zero creativity and not much common sense.
