Re: New Restaurants/Other Businesses in Northland
Not sure what is going on with all the chicken places, but earlier this year Zaxby's opened up at 291 & Church Rd, and I see in the Liberty Commons shopping center a new chicken place called Slim Chickens. And now it appears at the corner of 291 & 152 is a Raising Cane's chicken place being ...

Re: We need a new airport!!!
I was surprised as well. All the unofficial polling I'd seen showed a split decision. So I was expecting something like 52 to 48 or 48 to 52 as a result.FangKC wrote:I must admit I'm surprised that it passed by such a larger majority. I was worried it would fail, and nothing would happen for another 20 years.

Re: We need a new airport!!!
I did my part and voted yes for the airport. There were only three items on my ballot, the airport and two parks & recs questions asking for land to be removed from two parks. So the polling place wasn't all that busy. I was able to just walk up and 15 seconds later fill out my ballot and I was ...

Re: P&L District: 13th & Walnut Site Proposal
A lot of people complaining about the name having no following or that it's dumb need to remember that only a few years ago a BBQ restaurant was opened with an even worse name and became a huge hit...Q39. A name doesn't really matter. If the food is good, service polite and quick and a good atmosph...

Re: Phase 2 streetcar to UMKC
That is the whole point of Q1. They don't like the TDD because it wins. I suspect it will be deemed unconstitutional or something by council and not affect much except for bad press. I hope. and this vote again proves why the folks in Platte & Clay County, and probably Eastern/Southern Jackson ...

Re: Bannister Mall/Cerner
Manged to go by it twice in a week. The buildings actually look smaller than a similar sizes building downtown on that giant lot. Probably not what they were going for I drive by it every workday. Personally, if they can actually fill in with other office buildings in the area I wouldn't mind it. R...

Re: We need a new airport!!!
On another note, KCI's security lines seem as long to me as just about every other airport. That said, even with upwards of 700,000 frequent flier miles, I can still count the times I've waited more than 10-15 minutes at a US airport in a security line in the last 10 years on one hand. Vegas and Ne...

Re: We need a new airport!!!
Flew to Albany, NY this week. While not a new airport, I liked the layout and it was easy to get in and out of and didn't feel crowded at all. I'd take that airport over KCI. The only change I'd make to Albany if I were building it new today is to make the security area deeper. Obviously the airport...

Re: We need a new airport!!!
My secret confession is that I enjoy most airports and don't really understand why people complain about flying. Most airports that people complain about I find just fine. LaGuardia, NY; original terminal. If that doesn't cause you to complain about flying/airport, then I don't know what will. LaGu...

"Airlines are more efficient now than ever. 20 years ago airlines would fly empty planes from point A to B," Once flew on a Sunday afternoon leaving KCI to Toronto through Detroit. From KCI to Detroit there were about a dozen passengers so plenty of room to spread out. It sucks for the ai...

Re: We need a new airport!!!
Would be surprised if Omaha, Wichita, Des Moines would drive to KC or connect through KCI if available given they can easily connect through major hubs on way to destination from their own airports. Springfield to Ottawa to Manhattan draw more likely, maybe a draw from Columbia if full flight from ...

Re: Bannister Mall/Cerner
Here's a piece from a couple years ago. Near neighborhoods and near suburbs seem to be the big winner at 3x downtown nationwide. So there appears to be a trend against the far suburbs so Prairie Village over Olathe is the most logical. https://gizmodo.com/millennials-will-live-in-cities-unlike-anyt...

Re: Bannister Mall/Cerner
In Cerner's case they are going after college grads who would more likely want to live downtown anyway. And downtown is getting schools and developing towards family living anyway, so many may not 'grow out of city living', as it this the case with professional leaning families in much larger citie...

Re: Bannister Mall/Cerner
We did a Sunday afternoon drive yesterday and somehow ended up out there. It's atrocious. I was somewhat willing to understand their position at first but sigh, after seeing it, don't know what Cerner is thinking. They could have built two or three 50 story buildings downtown and more easily attrac...

It has come in handy for us a few times when we've gone downtown for something and can't find parking. Then we just head to the River Market or Union Station and park there and use the street car to get where we need to go. River Market+Streetcar >>> Parking at Barney Allis or Kauffman, in my opini...
