You can also attribute it to some immigrants who wanted their children to 'be American', by not teaching them the Old World ways or language. After a couple generations the identity could become lost. But would suspect many who call themselves American as their ancestry is about Provincial National...

Maybe it's the new era of Provincial Nationalism, to reject ancestry. OTOH, some simply can't tag their ancestry or have unfortunately lost that identity. We are likely all ultimately from Africa so what does ancestry really mean. Perhaps ancestry is only as important as to which era you _want_ to i...

Struggle with the Dallas system. Issuing city permits to designated locations/racks could solve this problem...

The problem is there's no way for someone to be certain the bike wasn't in the rack without it being the dock style that can read the bike from the stand. Dockless bikes don't work that way. The smarts are in the bike, not the station so dumb racks can be used. The bikes have GPS built in and some ...

The Plaza jog isn't that disruptive and maybe better location for visitors. Separately, would rather see the tennis courts turned into a transit center with a Walgreens or CVS and Plaza residential services, which the Plaza needs but won't do. Can move the courts to N end of Mill Creek Park or beef ...

Dockless could work with some structure, such as using designated bike racks issued a city permit. The City could have a way for the public/businesses to register their own bike racks and dockless system records city approved locations in their app. The bikeshare system or city could issue branding ...

P&R garages are fine located near the streetcar line. It will help get rid of other surface lots along the line as they can use these garages. The lots are at the edges of RM anyway. The next ideal spot for P&R garage would be near Paseo Bridge when streetcar is extended to Riverfront, would...

You should encourage this, maybe start with HR dept. It may also encourage adding a bikeshare station at 22nd/Grand MAX stop (maybe the hospital will sponsor it).

Big things are expected to spring from a 2-acre site at the northwest corner of 12th and Charlotte streets on the east side of the downtown freeway loop. The Kansas City Area Transportation Authority acquired the site, currently a surface parking lot, last month from Barber & Sons Co. and plans...

Olathe is apparently exploring a bikeshare system...

BTW, here's a map of new Main MAX for discussion...

The biggest thing I could have asked for was moving the route to Grand. That was done and it's been 2 wonderful months of speedy travel through downtown. So nice to get from Plaza to RM in reasonable time. 2.) I'd love to see the vinyl seats added to the Max buses that are now standard on regular R...

That exposed stairwell is pretty cool. Wonder if that is to encourage using the stairwell. It looks like there's space as sort of an observation platform at each level. And nice that every building they've been adding lately looks completely different. Am talkin to you Cordish. ;-) https://lh3.googl...

^Thanks, so we know at least they 'get it'...

^Any pics of Lawrence projects? Am concerned too it won't be an urbanized development that integrates with the rest of district at a pedestrian scale.

Plans to convert to mixed use with 4 story apts. Whatever goes there, am hoping they do streetfront retail. A partnership involving Lawrence developer Doug Compton has a contract to buy the Uptown Shoppes and plans to spend up to $45 million turning the shopping center into a mixed-use property. &q...

Good suggestions. Antler Room and Corvino may have pricey small plates but they both deliver. Maybe the better of the list for any 'special occasion for two' as well as Krokstrum (Scandinavian). These three offer more tasty variety you can share. Stock Hill a good suggestion if wanting something mor...
