Re: OPK Proposed 15 Square Mile Annexation

I wouldn't say OP is dense at all... Sure, denser than rural land, but not dense at all. I agree.  But the fact that KCMO is actually less dense than OP, is sort of an eye-opening factoid puts things in perspective for me about how far we have to go. I recognize there are big chunks of land (floodp...

Re: OPK Proposed 15 Square Mile Annexation

I am not a fan of perpetual sprawl.  But the city fathers are responsible that the tax base to be assured in the decades ahead.  As far as sprawl or annexation control made for our area, Kansas City MO would  be the number one culprit.  OPKs density within the city limits would still be greater tha...

Re: suicide at liberty memorial

perhaps the fed should provide suicide kits for an assured, clean death.  govt-issue phenylbarbitol + a small bottle of vodka = no more splattered sidewalks or grisly gunshot wounds.

Re: what kind of car do you THINK forum members drive?

I keep seeing an old station wagon down in the River Market with an excessive number of hood ornaments bolted on it.  Many of them appear to be snake heads.  Don't suppose that belongs to anyone on here?

I'm in Minneapolis right now. It's been six years, since I have been here last and the amount of new development in downtown Minneapolis is just incredible.

Some women today (and I stress, some ) think that they're giving up a ton by letting go of their Father's last name.  B/c as you know, that's what it really boils down to. Why should a man commit his life, his wealth, and his sexual fidelity, to a woman who thinks her father's name is more importan...

Re: weather alerts via time warner cable

The alert on time warner sounds like an alarm clock.  One of my least favorite sounds in the world (shudder). On the weather topic (loosely), I'm relatively impressed by the new radar imagery they've had available for the past few weeks on weather.com.  It overlays the rain data on a google-earth-st...

Erm, I believe he's referring to taking his husband's last name.  But, I quibble.
