I think this, or something like this, would be just the type of regional attraction to get people down there.  As much as I like bike trails landscaped with native plantings, that is not getting joaney and jim from Olathe to come to the river. Looks cool, but an attraction like this would only get ...

Can't wait - let's hope it's better than the StL stores.  I haven't been to an H&M city where they've had only one location and I'm glad they chose the Plaza over a likely 2nd location in Oak Park and over The Legends when they were looking several years ago. Donatella Versace (sp?) is designing...

That found sounds hearty.  Am hoping for a little lighter fare when sitting on an awesome patio but whatever, it's way too early to bitch  I love what they did to the BRGR spot in PV and glad Highwoods ended up going with a local connection for the Baja spot.

2 questions: 1) which is going in - Ross Dress for Less or Dress for Les? 2) if the former, why would TJ Maxx and Ross in the same center?  It will be apocalyptic if both open...

Have you been to Portland and ridden that thing? It's pretty painfully slow. I don't know that it would be fair to say it's faster to walk, but it's probably faster to jog. But for the lazy asses it's more like a teleporter taking them someplace they wouldn't normally go without a car or valet park...

eliminating a fare entirely reduces capital costs (no ticket vending machines), increases ridership, levels the playing field with parking, and eliminates the need to patrol for fare evaders. it does increase the operating cost, however. can you imagine the game-changer "free" would be? S...

Signage on the store front to the east of the laundromat (across 39th St from Chipotle) says Sahara hookah bar coming soon.

About a year ago I saw plans/photos for renovating the building just east of Gates into condos - they looked incredible.  Yesterday I saw a man carrying Home Depot bags walk into one and now I wonder if some renovation has started? I had always thought the housing stock between Linwood and 31st woul...

Does this proposal come before the council before their 39th/Stateline proposal? Just wondering.

Anybody have any other ideas? When does the arena tax on rental cars (is that taxed on hotel rooms too?) end? I can see an extension to support the building of a new convention center hotel, which means proponents could claim no new taxes to build it. But I'd think it would need to be tied into a n...

Unless it has to get past the Save the Plaza folks first...

I like H&M, but what I don't get is why in this age of internet shopping, you can't order from their website?  You can look, you just can't purchase  :x I was at one of their stores in SF last week and one of the salespeople told me that online ordering in the US would be coming in the next cou...

I'm still recovering from when I went last year, which was a colossal waste of time IMO.  90% of what the speakers conveyed was common sense...I think maybe the organizers confuse motivation with inspiration. Like that they have Conservatives there too! I could've done without Conservative slant and...

Wonder if they'll be open late?

BTW new gay bar opening next weekend in old Karma spot. Now if only something could be done to the nearly empty strip containing El Rancho/old Chili's...

I'll change my opinion - the design doesn't suck, but I see it looking more like a Courtyard by Marriott than West 39th residential. The design of the tower fits in better for a neighborhood like the Plaza, but the stone on the bottom is a nice touch that ties in to the shirtwaists in the area.

I think the design sucks, but whatever. It's streetfrontage. I still wish someone would start building nouveau colonades or apartments of this scale that nodded to colonade style. Agree - it looks like it was designed for a Dallas neighborhood by the Dallas architect, but I'm happy to see something...

And apparently (from the Portland example), most of those people would be white 

well, let's have it.  i'd rather hear about your $170 show than continue bitching about eminem performing at a nascar track.  :D A day won't go by without someone shitting on people for having different tastes. Unless the concert had beer in the title, featured 3 millions types of beer and let you ...

I checked Troost out last year and the year before and have to say I've always been underwhelmed, but I think the program is a terrific effort (but for not a lot of payoff). I also would rather see some trees or shrubbery planted.
