Re: The KCMO School District

My former boss  lives in BKS and some of her neighbors and friends in the area have their kids on AL, for what I hear they are all excited about the new place, at least regarding more space. I also have a friend that lives DT and she is also excited about the new possible new location and they are a...

Re: Overland Park could raise property taxes 46%

100 dls per a 200K house  seems pretty reasonable but then why does 46% increase sounds that bad? Or are they increasing also property taxes on cars and commercial real state? Is the increase on those higher than on a home?

Re: Urban farming in KC

I heard that around 11th and Myrtle, there's a guy farming tilapia. Anyone seen that? I didn't go on the tour.
Maybe these are the guys you are thinking about

Re: City wants your help to streamline city bureaucracy

I am all about doing as much as possible online, we should be able to pay taxes online, pay fines online, pay for registration online which I think most of it you can do already.

Regarding processes to open business  you should be able to submit  as much documentation.

Re: Bakery/restaurant redevelopment for midtown Katz

Read the report and you'll see it seems Hispanics abandon religion at about the same rate as everybody else.
That is somehow true too, a lot of them stop going to church but so far just one Hispanic guy in my whole life that I have talked to has told me he does not believe  there is a God.

Re: Bakery/restaurant redevelopment for midtown Katz

And Hispanics now make up more than 15% of America's population, by the way.
And a lot of Hispanics believes there is a God and some hard core even say they have come to USA to re evangilize this nation.

Re: 39th Street Condos

In my opinion recommend some changes to the project to improve it but do not block it, at this point any extra density we get would help the area and support the business in the area.

Re: Roasterie Expansion Update

Man this is good news that are staying on the Westside. I was hoping they would buy a building on the corner of 27th and Holly, which is across of the current Roasterie offices. I guess they did not.

Re: UP Steam Train at Union Station this weekend

I usually go to see the trains at Union Station, I go to the parking lot next to Jack stack. I go cause my son loves trains, and what a pleasant surprise to see this train arrive, my son sorta freaked out cause he had not heard a train that was that loud.

Pretty cool to see it arrive.

Re: The Official Kansas City Weather Thread

I live in the Westside and I heard first the sirens from north Johnson County and at that point I turned on the TV but when the sirens went off on Jackson and wind started to pick up my family and I went down to the basement. Life is to precious to risk it by not taking a few minutes and take cover.

Pulling for the Westside too, I would think it would be included since Westside South is right next to KCK.

Re: Crown Center to get aquarium

The only place I would consider using STAR bonds in KS now is downtown KCK where a full blown aquarium at KAW point along side a minor league baseball stadium (where tbones and sporting should have gone) would have been awesome with new Cerner offer towers rising above them in downtown KCK. Agreed ...
