Are any of the proposals available for the public to see? I'd love to know exactly what they're proposing.

DColeKC, I want to be clear when asking this that I'm not taking a side or assuming any bad faith on the part of you or anyone else. I don't know how this aspect of development works. I understand that the developers will try to negotiate a purchase price with the property owners and may need to go ...

Why did iowa get the job of printing papers from now on? Is the facility up there way better than the Star pavilion was? That has always confused me The Des Moines Register got new presses in 2000. Gannett built their new press facility on the outskirts of Des Moines. They only paid $52.2 million f...

Maybe the Press Pavilion wasn't a terrible investment after all. Maybe Knight Ridder were truly focused on turning downtown around and wanted to make a $199 million investment into a potential ballpark site 20 years later.

Crossroads businesses don't want a Kansas City Royals stadium to bulldoze their neighborhood KCUR | By Savannah Hawley-Bates Published February 14, 2024 at 4:00 AM CST The Royals’ recently announced Crossroads stadium and entertainment district would require the demolition of more than a dozen busi...

i'm gonna zag here. they'll probably stick a huge poster on the att building like they do at the mainmark. i'm picturing the biggest jungle law ad known to man. i am 100% down for that. Surely they can get into a three-way bidding war with Brad Bradshaw and Mike, who I understand has "got this...

Lots of online opposition now from the urban vote from what I see in addition to the expected suburban vote complaining about crime and parking. The renderings and the details better be good today or this is by no means a certainty to be voted through even piggy backing onto the Chiefs. The wait fo...

Are there any details on when that starts and how many flights per week there will be?

Remind me again, is part of the Crossroads proposal extending the I-670 cap east of Grand to Oak Street? If not, would it make sense to build a garage in that space that the new stadium and T-Mobile Center could share, kind of like the ABC Ramps in Minneapolis over I-394 by Target Field and the Targ...

Do we know what the improvements will be?

Seems like an odd thing to drop at 4pm on a Friday, unless they're trying to bury it.

Merriam approves underground utility work near old Kmart site Utility lines along a stretch of Shawnee Mission Parkway are going away. The Merriam City Council on Dec. 11 unanimously approved a $4 million project and a $1 million contingency to install underground utilities along Shawnee Mission Pa...

Is there a way to see the actual plans on CompassKC? I can't find it under any of the tabs, but I'm probably not looking in the right place.

Southwest rolled out some new videos on YouTube as part of a PR push called " Investing in Better, " and the new terminal is featured among the improvements they've made. They called out the 290+ employees (who are apparently called "Cohearts" now, I must have missed the memo) an...

There was an article in The Star a few days ago that went into why the arrivals curb still has issues. Joe McBride said nine of the 22 traffic control officer positions are still unfilled, and the pay for that position starts at $18.61/hr. An anonymous officer said that was a major problem for reten...

Any chance we might see Avelo or Breeze (or both!) coming to KCI anytime soon?

I'm surprised they finally got a plan together to build a new stadium near the Trop. A lot of people were trying to make it sound like St. Pete was a dealbreaker because, apparently, it "should" be in Tampa since "St. Pete is so far away".

Here are my pictures from today. First one is from a few weeks back showing the ferris wheel cars. Another 50ft wouldn't have made much of a difference view wise from this perspective. Another 50ft only would've made it more prominent in a few places, more so than it already will be. https://live.s...

It's not the size of the wheel that matters, it's the motion of the gondola... or something.

Agree about the roadway signage. I get that it's KCI's heritage that they named the streets after all the world capitals we were supposed to have direct service to with TWA 747s and all that, but the names should be secondary to the things that are reached at that exit. The overhead exit sign for Be...
