MLB is different, almost to the point, i just say f''' it..CLose the Royals or move them to New Jersey. New York could support five MLB teams! But i do ...

39th to linwwod broadway to gillham Lost cause?
a very important 'connector ' area betwee Plaza/Westport and Downtown has quickly become a huge crime area. Broadway , which i always thought had the greatest potential for 'urban'streetscape design and businesses, has so many empty , closed store fronts and tons of people loitering. It seems like i...

Re: I-435
I'm not sure anyone anticipated the tremendous growth of lees summit..that has contributed to a lot of congestion, i.e I-470, I-435 and the good ole triangle..plus the 63rd street exit was never designed properly , i.e exit off Hwy 350 . and tremendous usage for trucks bypasing city that would have ...

Why?
my experience has shown me most forums of all topis end up in the crapper.. Everyone "has to be right" and things you might not say to anyone in person are easily dismissed online.
