I just heard several rounds of loud pops... Perhaps Gunshots???  Does anyone know what's going on?  I heard 3 at 9:08, another at 9:11, 9:13, and 9:14 from 9th and Walnut.  So far no sirens, but I do see a cop car in the distance (at maybe Holmes and 9th??) 

Those are great!!  Especially good for no tripod.  I wouldn't have thought that 1,000 miles would make such a big difference in its appearance.

It was a lot less spectacular than I hoped for.  I took a couple pictures though:



(I feel out of place posting in this thread since my screen name doesn't end in *er)

Pics anyone from tonight's atmospheric festivities? I got a couple decent ones from the rooftop garden at 909 Walnut (and out my window for the lightning strike) http://www.vucovich.com/photoblog/page37/files/page37-1000-thumb.jpg http://www.vucovich.com/photoblog/page37/files/page37-1003-thumb.jpg...

rather than redesign a route to serve as few as five riders, the jo ought to ask -- and expect -- employers to shuttle their employees the final mile or two from an existing stop. That'd be fine with me too... I think it would be great, especially for larger companies, to pitch in with promoting &q...

Google maps now shows traffic data ala KC Scout:

If you would use a bus that ran from downtown to near 151st street and Ridgeview, please let the folks at The JO know! I live downtown and work at Garmin (1200 E. 151st street in Olathe).  The closest bus would drop me off at the Great Mall of the Great Plains, which is well over a mile away across ...

toured this building today in-depth. considering a stint of renting while we both sell our lofts (me: crossroads, he: metropolitan) and do a trial run of co-habitation. they're running a great deal if you stay until the condo conversion... you get 1/12 of all the rent you paid as a credit against a...

Are there any type of flourescent that can be used with dimmers? The sconces in my house can use only one type of plug in flourescent and they are just too bright for general ambience. I don't know if they have fluorescent bulbs that have dimmers built in, but you can get special bulbs to put in di...

Where do you get this one? I've tried several kinds of flourescent and I hate the light they give and end up changing them back. I find the light to have kind of a yellow cast. I've used GE and whatever Lowe's house brand is. You can get that brand at Home Depot.  They come in three temperatures.  ...

On my way to the river market, I saw water bubbling out from cracks in the pavement on 6th street at Walnut.  Looks like a water main busted and buckled the sidewalk and is just leaking everywhere.  Not pictured is a waterfall gushing out the side of the embankment that slopes down to I-70. http://w...

...you're standing outside, shivering in the cold and one of the other MAX bus drivers decides to reroute and surpass the 13th and Wyandotte southbound stop....repeatedly. What's the deal with that?  I'm fairly new to both the Max and the KC Metro system, but that sort of on-the-fly rerouting has h...

35 car pileup on I-35, 5-car pileup on I-29, numerous wrecks  near the 29/35 split, idiots everywhere, and KCScout.net is.... of course... down.    ](*,) A couple of people at work have sent out e-mails about it.  One had this link: http://www.traffic.com/Kansas-City-Traffic/Kansas-City-Traffic-Map...

I'm not sure if anyone living at 909 doesn't get the e-mails, but just in case you didn't: 909 Resident, As you all know we will soon be electing new public officials and this election will be very important for the progress of downtown Kansas City.  There is a City Council Candidate Forum tonight a...

but remember...the bank is just like any other corporation and must turn a profit..and that profit doesnt just come from thin air... Not to open a whole other can of worms, but actually, that profit does just come from thin air... Banks earn a profit by selling you money they don't have for more th...

So, the Southbound section of I-35 on the West Loop will be closed starting Monday.  What's the magic route to get on I-35 Southbound in the morning from the middle of downtown without a lot of hassle?  Right now it takes me about 5 minutes via Broadway. http://www.kansascity.com/mld/kansascity/1657...

I attended the meeting and it was great to see so many "neighbors."  I was wondering if the DNA has ever posted meeting notices in some of the larger buildings downtown?

Personally I think if you go on "a list" or not should be up to the judge's decision on the merit's of the case...not the crime they commit. Making them all live in one building is kind of rough...but I can see the landlords reasoning for not wanting to rent to felons as well.  Sure they'...

Man, check out the east side of Downtown (64106):

933 McGee has 8
1108 E. 10th has 15
1300 Cherry has 12

It's disturbing, but everyone needs a place to live...

As I understand it, it will not occur until 2010.  I was told this is a condition of the tax breaks given to Simbol Commercial to renovate the building.
