Re: OFFICIAL: Port Authority Riverfront Project

I mean commitments of Shell HQ and Topgolf (not that I'd strive for it) are a bit different. Reminds me of Port Covington in Baltimore, which is moving along well towards a moderate density. Local shell office moving into a new building. Just as when JE Dunn anchored east village with their office....

Re: SomeraRoad West Bottoms District

Tearing down one of the few examples of a concrete daylight warehouse in the kansas city area as the first step of a historic preservation project is absolutely wild. I love what this group has planned for the buildings they plan to keep but wow starting with the demolition of a HUGE national-regist...

The views to the east are the best from John’s anyways. The view to the north shouldn’t even exist, should be filled with buildings

Re: Downtown Baseball Stadium

Go check the history on google earth. 1996, half that block was parking lots and half the buildings in that pic are gone. Long before the Star went in. Point taken, sorry September 1991 https://i.imgur.com/jOHWBYY.png July 2002 https://i.imgur.com/ULVlmHm.png December https://i.imgur.com/gsV0JMt.png

Re: SomeraRoad West Bottoms District

It’s startling how there’s been absolutely zero reaction by preservationist in KC over the weld wheel. I guess the building is so ugly right now that everyone assumes it has to come down? Very odd. Also concerning that demolishing a big building is one of the first things they want to do. Here’s hop...

Same shit that's in the rest of the east crossroads. 80% parking and a few little barely used low rise industrial buildings.
That's straight up a lie

I really wish this board would stop responding to absolutely everything written by the trolls on this site. I wish the blocking function on this site actually worked and I wasn’t forced to read 90 dcole and im2kull posts every day to keep up with this forum

Re: Downtown Baseball Stadium

I think as long as the stadium is ONLY removing the star building and the two blocks west on grand, I’m good with it. If the blast radius extends past that on any side, though, that’s a problem

Just look at your post comparing two hotels. Ok. The President was in worse shape and abandoned. The Muehlebach is in better condition and the bottom floor is used. You say that is apples to oranges, which, sure, could be true, but what point are you making by saying they're different. Are you sayi...
