Can you get Deschutes in Kansas City? I know Missouri (Colorado is the furthest) isn't supposed to be in their hinterland, but KC has gotten western beers that I don't typically see in St. Louis. Hell, or any other Northwestern beers besides Rogue. deschutes -- no widmer and bridgeport are the only...

interesting...

is there flash support in chrome?

Try these with both Firefox and Chrome.. www.speedtest.net www.sprint.com/speedtest Be careful not to run more than one test at a time. those are bandwidth tests, not rendering tests.  i don't think you're testing what you want to be testing... webkit is generally considered to be a smokin' fast re...

... The discussion itself turns negative, and demonstrates all to clearly the bias of downtown boosters and dwellers who tend to sell the city with rose colored glasses on, whilst concurrently criticizing it for serving other constituents besides themselves.  This isn't universal, but there is an u...

Light rail can actually soften the scale of the street.  Having a light rail ROW in the middle of the street will help narrow the remaining lanes of traffic and introduce vehicle slowing elements, which will help the street in front of the Sprint Center feel less like a boundry. i completely agree!...

akp, i think the opinion expressed by barnes is more likely that of "her buddies" at AEG and Cordish. I don't consider Grand a "pedestrian oriented" street in anyway, especially next to the sprint center.  it's six+ lanes wide with heaps of vehicle traffic, which is very hostile ...

no.  2nd half of 2009 i think.

The only "proof" any of you have furnished is additional looks at the picture, and assurances that you think it's real. Nobody has been able to respond to my claims about the ridiculous angles and sizes of the elements of the picture. my first and only attempt since the onus is on all of ...

welcome to the forum?

i'm not that familiar with the hollywood neighborhood, but from the couple bike/bus rides i've had through it, (aside from the main commercial strip) it's a lot of single family homes stuck close together with the kind of streets you'd feel fine with your kids playing in the front yard.  you'd have ...

What is your point? ... My point is that it would be really freaking expensive and that I wish it wasn't. A quick google earth fly over of the trench to 435 shows a fair number of buildings that, while they're probably not worth a whole lot, are in the way.  Not sure if you could just widen one sid...

Look, if Union Station can't feasibly serve as the hub - per Russ Johnson - for logistical reasons, than I see nothing wrong with a single hub in the river market.  It would be great way to add a big spark to an area of the city that is already progressing nicely.  Would help develop the city from ...

In anticipation of the Cosentino's opening, my gf has asked me to get a basket for her bike.  Proud of the lady.  Any of you 2 wheel mavens able to suggest where to pick one up? i'd get a rear rack and two grocery panniers, like these:  http://www.banjobrothers.com/products/01080.php# the catalog s...

:/  i hate the portland streetcar.  while it's still full of people (because it's free downtown), everyone there says "no one rides it."

yeah, especially when compared to the $44 million to rebuild the Vivion / I-29 intersection.

So if the people that hate Park Place, One Nineteen and Leawood Town Center were placed in charge of building something on those lots, how would you do it?  I'm not trying to be an ass, just wondering... more residential, and more-dense residential on top of it.  there's no way this amount of retai...

Better? - you mean like being capable of being activated without major software glitches?  That kind of better? this might be mincing words to some but there's a difference:  the issue wasn't a software issue--it was a capacity issue.  the update to the 2.0 iPhone software required everyone re-auth...
