This thread is like Groundhog Day. Everybody’s said their piece plenty of times over. Inevitably your opinion of the bridge comes back to whether you believe north loop removal is possible. Believe north loop removal is possible = the new bridge is a necessary evil North Loop Removal Skeptic = new b...

Sorry, on first glance I misread your post about digging out the existing garage.

If you’re investing in new higher-end residential, a direct garage-to-hallway elevator connection is a must. That’s a nightmare to retrofit through an existing garage (which is likely poured in place concrete). Couple that with an expectation for a renter to be able to park their luxury SUV comforta...

Just giving you a hard time. :lol: While the people you’re talking about definitely exist still in JoCo, I’ve noticed there’s a lot less of it than there used to be when visiting family & friends there. Still way too much, but not like it was in the 90s or early 00s. Especially east of 35 & ...

That felt good. Have not ripped on JoCo in a long time!

Weird flex bro, but I’m glad you like where you live.

After stopping into CC & Halls this weekend, I'm more certain than ever that CC bungled the Halls downsizing. The way they've remodeled doesn't lend the now-unused space to being easily occupied by another retailer or any sort of public-facing entity. Short of creating some new & awkward ext...

I’m aware of some fellow state level Democrats calling for an investigation or his resignation. I said prominent as in famous. Move those goalposts! They’re a congressional representative, representing hundreds of thousands of people. That qualifies as famous. If Sharice Davids called on Gov. Kelly...

Not really. Dems will escort him out. Plenty of talent to replace him. Have you not figured this out yet? We will see how long it takes a prominent Democrat to call for his resignation. Slow on the uptake, my dude. A dem member of the NY's congressional delegation called for his resignation nearly ...

It’s often easier to move things forward one card at a time instead of just laying your whole deck out at once. It’s already known the uninformed public and people in KCK are leery of “losing” the north loop cut through. It follows then that you’d roll out items one at a time. Give people some time ...

Looks like the original CC Halls atrium. Don’t remember there being a skylight like that though.

Any sort of tiki bar would be a welcomed addition IMO, Tiki Cat is sorely missed. Though I would think Shark Bar is due for a rethink/clean-up, and a Tiki overhaul would be a lot easier there than the Saucer space. Short of that, the Saucer seems like it'd be perfect for a solid trattoria concept. I...

That is depressing on so many levels, starting with the college sophomore-level rendered animation.

Yes or whatever other private amenity spaces they envision.

Wouldn't the political compromise be a park that's an included amenity for Cordish residents but is "open" to residents as long as they pay a high annual fee? You ward away most non-Cordish users with the entry price but still can claim it's accessible to all, generate a small income, and...

Fantastic news, thanks for sharing DCole. Is there still small retail space included for the park? Curious how Cordish would feel about that given they still have available stalls in P&L.

First off, Kansas City isn’t the type of market where it’s financially possible to build “remarkable” residential tower exteriors. The negative comments on this forum about the exterior of the buildings have no real impact on the success of the buildings. More important than impressing development ...

I also forgot to mention... IF not for all the councils idiotic political posturing, we would also have gotten a 30+ floor landmark residential tower. Enjoy your 18 floor apartment proposal you're about to get. Alright, now you're reaching. "Landmark" seriously? How many inane pages of th...
