My definition of infill: The use of vacant land within a built-up area for further construction or development, especially as part of a neighborhood preservation or limited growth program. So there is a lot of vacant land (parking lots) and some 1-3 story heavily deteriorated buildings (blight) whic...

Why hasn't anyone mentioned this building? Is no one upset it is slated for demolition? Why would Cordish want to tear this building down? I realize it's under-utilized, if used at all, but I would think it could be rehabbed for more loft apartements. Cordish is planning on building residential towe...

chrizow-
your dad sounds like my crabby grandfather!

How about free online courses in parallel parking?

Noooooo!!!!!
I was born at St. Mary's hospital. That's my roots, and they're tearing it down!

But the streets are public property and should remain that way. Individual businesses can do whatever they want within the law as far as dress codes, etc. That's their right, but you can't take that crap to the streets.

Gehry also isn't totally unfamiliar with KC. A majority of the projects he designs get fabricated right here in town by A. Zahner Co. Go drive by and check out their warehouse/shop at roughly 9th & Lydia, and you may see some Gehry panels out there right now. Check out Gehry's Chicago Millinieum...

KC Royals downtown.....brilliant! Too much whining going on about "which exit from the interstate would I take my precious SUV on??" A stadium doesn't have to be "conveinently" located right next to an interstate highway like some truck stop. Do you think they worried about inter...

I heard they (they being the property owners of many of those apartments on Delaware, also the Library Lofts and Soho West among others) were going to build a new apartment building on the former train yard site just north of the Burlap Loft building, at the end of Delaware Street. Granted, this inf...
