I'm sure everyone is surprised, but I'm still down with North Loop!!! Move the 670 park donations to the plan re-establishing the street grid, build directly on the streetcar line and build the garages where the roadway is now before backfilling for buildings on the grid. Between two major highways...

In an interview on KCUR Tara Raghuveer said KCT wasn't necessarily against an East Village location. Also, you would think it would be in the Royals best interests if they're going to ask the city for incentives to replace that affordable housing. I'd even say they should replace and add additional...

Embarrassing.

You know I love you grid, but I think you don't understand how horrific this vote was locally. They didn't reach out to anyone good at this. I'm confident we could pass a tax if the right people are involved. They just sucked. I get that. But I also think a lot of damage was done building up a no v...

Fantasy locations you say? West of Liberty Memorial, either where the ballfields are or get the IRS to consolidate somewhere else and put it there. IRS has always been my fantasy. That is after they built the PAC. The best location is was where the PAC is now. I wonder if Washington Sq Park will ma...

^ They are spending 250 million on Arrowhead for the WC? On what? I honestly think the Royals moving downtown is dead now. They might try again with KCMO voters, but I doubt a city wide KCMO vote would pass now. The best location is that crossroads site and that will never pass a vote now. A lot of ...

Not suggesting turning H&R Block building into residential. That’d make no sense. I’m suggesting not chasing businesses with massive incentives and instead continuing to push for increasing levels of residential. The business will follow. Yeah, tend to agree with that. It's really the main prob...

The Royals are looking good so far. How do people think that will effect the new stadium? I already see two stupid excuses. "Sherman is only fielding a competitive team this year to get his toy stadium". Never mind that this is simply the result of a multi-year rebuilding effort. It's not ...

In KC's case, anything is better than empty buildings, but I would hate to see one of KC's only modern class A office buildings turn residential. Not suggesting turning H&R Block building into residential. That’d make no sense. I’m suggesting not chasing businesses with massive incentives and i...

There are still office buildings going up in cities. They are mostly towers for single occupancy company headquarters, but they are going up.

Maybe the state of Missouri will just hand over 250 million dollars to Cedar Fair to do that like KS is doing here?

The Royals draw just fie when they are respectable. Not losing 90+ games. We stay on the pace we have set so far this season you will have near sellouts on the weekends by June. Biggest problem is over the last 30 years we are either in the playoffs or losing 90+ games, with a lot more of the latte...

Grid from the top rope knocking chiefs fans, royals fans and people that wear sports gear at airports all in one post! :lol: Grid from the top rope knocking chiefs fans, royals fans and people that wear sports gear at airports all in one post!

Their home opener attendance this year was 38,775. Pretty close to sell out. I know it was a near sell out this years, but the Royals went 2-3 years prior to covid that were far from sell outs. A remarkable thing in MLB no matter how bad your team has been doing. Let alone at team that went to the ...

Royals average attendance below Tampa Bay right now. Tampa Bay. The city that can't sell 20k tickets to a playoff game. Tampa is averaging almost 1000 more per game than KC through the first 7 or so games. If KC didn't sell out the opener (which has happened in recent years), they would be below Mi...

I can’t believe people are so stupid they assume the Royals are just “good to go” now. They just denied a pro-team with a lease expiring in 6 years. They think they’re safe now? People are so stupid. Sorry, I just can’t take it. Royals average attendance below Tampa Bay right now. Tampa Bay. The ci...

In that rendering, why is that building on the right a totally different scale? Is it just an optical illusion or is this rendering just super inaccurate?

Those 18th Street improvements are pretty amazing. Really hope they can still make this location work.

Where in the terminal will this be?

Kind of makes me think Brookside might support extending the streetcar out to them after all. And Waldo. I think both would support the Streetcar extension. It would also be cheaper to build than the current line. Map of the vote. https://www.datawrapper.de/_/gnIRR/ Thanks for sharing this link. Lo...
