If you guys vote for me for emperor of Kansas City-State, I vow to ban anyone from ever using the phrase "plaza bowl" again.

Now you agree with the Star's Editorial Board and should be lambasted for it.

I did recently get solar and it made sense with the rebates and low-cost Solarize KC program. Battery storage makes no sense but maybe next house I will do it. I am paying cash but it was going to be like $60 mo/financed 0% interest. Hopefully offsets about 50-60% of my power bill and it will add v...

Good.

HAs there been an announcement or are you just doom-posting?

Also, the NKC location is fine. Big miss for KCMO, but as far as having baseball in the city it's 6 of one, half dozen of the other.

And the people who read them?

So does the round anti-roundabout at Meyer and 63rd as well as the bum-uda triangle at SW TRFWY and Westport Rd.

I would agree that some of it is super commercialized--especially the likes of Dickey's, Rudy's, and Bill Miller, of which our closest comparison might be Jack Stack or Gates Rudy's is almost doable if you can get them to cut and serve the brisket right. A lot of places in Texas cut off the burnt e...

It's not just you. I think Kauffman is a top 10 ballpark, no question. But it's okay to tear it down and replace it. It also would not bother me in the slightest if they tore down Wrigley and maybe Fenway though.

One person's comment on a Facebook page. Of course the comment was supported by many. "Anyone wish to enlighten me and name at least one professional sport stadium moved from a suburb or outskirts into a downtown? I'll buy that one beer to prove me wrong but I don't think there has been even o...

That would basically be ideal.

No one whines quite like the Westside.

3rd smallest if you include the White Sox.

No one who lives here thinks this is a baseball town.

I'm a lifelong fan, and regularly attend games still. I will attend more games in either NKC or downtown than at TSC, and while I probably would attend a few more game in downtown, I don't have much preference. The NKC site would still be, in my mind, and enormous upgrade over the EastKC/Independenc...

Growing up in Topeka.

Maybe, this is me turning from an idealist dreamer about Kansas City to a realist. I lived in Austin in the 90s. I've seen Portland boom. Visited friends for long periods in Brooklyn in 2000s. I have seen in Kansas City what those places had before they boomed with increasing levels of development....

That is the Nashville city motto.

Hear, hear...though I'm not sure there's any ballot box support for it in that neighborhood either.

Would have been a great site.
