Lots of tweeting today about the dedication of a new futsal court at Wyandotte HS. Hizzoner Holland also said the MLS had told him this would be the first of many futsal courts in KC. Is this part of the effort to get the national training center in KC? This article talks about the installation of ...

I really think things like that Plasma Center where drug deals and even prostitution are common in the vicinity of the plasma center and the 2 Shell Gas Stations where they sell things like Chore Boys for cleaning out crack pipes are holding that area back. I have been seeing more of an influx of H...

One of the reasons I think 39th is clearly a better option than 31st/Linwood is that it would be the quickest and easiest way to get KCK on board. Give them a no-brainer tie-in to the system at 39th and you jumpstart the discussion about extensions on the Kansas side. A north-south line on Rainbow,...

the end goal is of course to increase taxes with new development. 31st has way more opportunities than 39th. i was thinking the same thing. 39th has a strong retail presence in midtown and by KUMed, but heading east its pretty narrow, residential and limited. 31st on the other hand is a wide street...

In a twitter Q&A the commish of the MLS was asked about a soccer team going to StL. His response was : We've looked at having a team in St. Louis years ago. One of the birthplaces of soccer in America. No current discussions That's a shame b/c MLS is about to expand to 24 teams from I've been re...

The CEO of Sporting KC tweeted out this image "sneak peak" of their proposed US Soccer coach, training and referee center they are trying to build in KC. No ideas yet on where this will go

So looking back at this thread I can see in the original rendering they planned for a garage entrance along 39th street, but now that its built I'm wondering why the hell they put that there. They have a second garage entrance along state line that serves the garage perfectly well and is in a spot w...

Seams like these types of developments are poping up all over Denver. I would like to see something like this along the Blue River at 40 and Manchester on Skip's old land holdings. I noticed that as well in Denver. I much prefer this type of development in the suburbs. I wish this was the model use...

3,000-acre Harmony development strikes first chord http://www.bizjournals.com/kansascity/news/2013/07/26/3k-acre-harmony-development-strikes.html New Town at Harmony is being designed using principles of New Urbanism, which promotes compact, walkable, mixed-use projects. Tim Locher, managing princip...

I thought UMKC owned the land?

From Union Station's perspective, what do they gain from managing KC museum? I can't really think of any reason why they would care to lose this or fight to hold onto it? Edit: Sorry, I was that guy. Asked a question w/o reading the article. Here is an interesting snippet With Union Station now oper...

I don't know what their actual plans are with the place, but i've heard alex pope (local pig owner) is actually taking over the space...im sure whatever it is he decides to do, it will be great. very talented guy.

I hope this steam has some substance...

any word on where? Power and Light building and accompanying tower?

I've heard some changes are coming to Haus (not sure how soon). Me thinks they will be for the better.

Question: Has anyone seen Sporting KC fans act poorly? I watched the re-run of SKC @ Real Salt Lake. The RSL fans seemed to be acting classless through most of the game. Everything from chanting, "Ref, you suck" to throwing trash on the field for calls they didn't like. I haven't been to ...

This would free up surface parking lots for development

Those surface parking lots exist because there is not a demand for development.

Not because of suburban zoning requirements in an urban setting for retail businesses?

http://www.bizjournals.com/kansascity/blog/2013/07/leiweke-looks-to-sporting-kc-inspiration.html Even more praise for SKC (it is allstar week technically), but this great press either way... "I am in awe of Kansas City and the way they built that team and the way they built that stadium,"...

So many great things swirling about for SKC right now. http://www.nytimes.com/2013/07/24/sports/soccer/soccer-in-the-us-heartland-kansas-city-transformed.html?pagewanted=1&smid=tw-share http://www.mlssoccer.com/news/article/2013/07/23/sporting-kansas-city-lock-manager-technical-director-peter-ve...

I'm pretty sure they somehow live off methane...or maybe power their ships with it. You know, with all the anal probing, cow abductions and whatnot.
