Did they have one of the "added job" requirements for this shit hole project? To be fair I frequent the Wendy's and new Taco Bell's for lunch. I often eat my feelings working for the School District...

Westport Coffee House and Green Room are still staying, right?

The Norman School project is coming along nicely...at least what I see every time I drive on SW Blvd!

I love this forum! You anonymous people truly entertain me. That being said, I very much respect the passion I read in the posts and the knowledge gained. Now back to that glass; particularly on the new LIVE CONVENTION HOTEL!

Isn't being "involved in the process," collaboration...?

I hope there's a good mix of green, blue, and black glass. That way we can study which is the best for new buildings...

A 40 story office tower east of Grand is what KC really needs to change the skyline. Cerner.... 12th & Grand - best location in all of the city is sitting empty. It's beyond all logic, even business sense that this massive hole exists. I've heard all the arguments - need a tenant, blah, blah, b...

In Cerner's case they are going after college grads who would more likely want to live downtown anyway. And downtown is getting schools and developing towards family living anyway, so many may not 'grow out of city living', as it this the case with professional leaning families in much larger citie...

Correct. There is no admin requirement like in Independence.

Warford IS THE PREMIER of the district (actually not a terrible school). Smith Hale Middle, where I work, is pretty rough. I'll have my third all new administration team in as many years. From the school stand point, IMO, with out a lack of cohesiveness in our school buildings many of the problems w...

Just drove by this turdhole today; when will any more new buildings go up? Also, what are the chances Cerner would ever build DT KCMo?

However there's a buzz and projects afoot there as well as some great events and cool stores. Harlem would be one of those new gritty on the edge neighborhoods if someone would take a real interest in it and see it's potential.

I always thought Harlem could become the next West Bottoms in terms of an urban renaissance neighborhood. I know it would take a lot, but those would be some killer views of the city.

Was there anything new in the KCBJ's subscriber content article from today?

Drove through CP yesterday; the new apartments look beyond terrible and cheap. This would have been an amazing opportunity for a denser and taller neighborhood. Then again, where would everyone have parked?!? Idiots.

Is there a name for this home or any more history one might be able to dig up?!? It has always been one of my favorite homes in the city.

Looks like this is not going to happen or at the very least is stalled for the time being.

And back to the Federal Reserve/Embassy Suites project...

I don't mind the exterior, but I'm so not a fan of the interior. IMO the whole minimalistic and industrial feel is not welcoming, unless the building was industrial to begin with. When developers do it w/ new construction it just comes off as contrived at best. Honestly, I would like to see some sof...

Maybe they should start a "go fund me account"...
