downtown ballpark article
wondering if anyone read this in the pitch. i certainly was entertained in their attack on the star. i don't usually believe the pitch does more than react to things, but this is interesting to me because i had noticed the star and their general dissatisfaction with the idea of a downtown ballpark. ...

chicago firm moving to downtown KC, renovating adler buildin
i've been working on this project for some time. they received their permit last week, and we had the preconstruction meeting last thursday. at this point the scheduled completion date is early June, it may be earlier or later, depending on intangibles. i think the association has about 14-20 employ...

Five Alarm Fire in West Bottoms
i just recently moved away from living across the street from that building, on 11th street. my old roommate, who still lives down there, was pretty spooked about the fire. it sucks it happened, it really is a loss, and there are so many other constant losses throughout the area all the time. that p...
Progress?
another lost opportunity for redevelopment was the Howard Johnson at 7th and Washington, overlooking the northwest corner of the bluff. the building was ugly, but the floorplate was suited perfectly for double loaded corridors, and the views were pretty dramatic, since it had three wings that were a...
Progress?
i'm not saying i want the city to look like it used to, or that only old buildings are successful. i am saying it is a waste of existing infrastructure to demolish, and a terrible loss if the site is paved. i guarantee if any site is paved it will be no less than ten years after that point that you ...
Progress?
someday these things may happen. so why tear the building now, besides the lowered cost of using the same crews that you are already using for the other demolitions? seriously, H&R Block is expanding right now, into a new building downtown. but they tear down an adjacent half block for their pla...
Progress?
And you can't really notice places like the Law Building lot (or what it will probably be), the park next to the Wallstreet Tower, etc... i agree with the visualization of the overall figure from the air. but how often will we experience it as such? we will park on the corner of 12th and grand in o...

Save the TWA building!
i guess if you are a downtown landowner, a new arena a block away makes a surface parking lot more valuable. that is terrible.

investment ideas
And while were talking crazy. They could build a freway tunnel under 31st street from I-70 to I-35 and get rid of the south side of the loop. Kansas City is one of the cheapest places in the country to tunnel in. and then run the north leg of I-35 along the west bluff, above beardsley, since there ...

Misc questions
yeah, a consultant for our arch. firm used to have offices in that building on 19th and Walnut three years ago, before they moved near us in the River Market. It is an interesting building. I think it used to be a Post Center, because i believe over the entrance it says United States Post Office. Bu...
