I was sorta thinking the same regarding putting a cafe right there, but there is already a cafe there and when I asked if I could go there and have coffee they told me I could but it is not even advertised. That said I am glad since I live a few blocks from there and I will surely walk there to enjo...

What about a CB2 in the Plaza? I went to Minneapolis this past weekend and came accross that store in the Uptown area, which by the way I really enjoyed. It is like Wesport meets The Plaza.

I just found this place called Orage Box it is pretty good. I tried the pancake stacker and was awesome !!!. They had some tables but the city told them they not zoned for it so for now it is take out. I think they are working on getting the tables back. Below is the address 2700 Jarboe St Kansas Ci...

Oh I am disspointed I was hoping they were going yo build like a 4-5 story building there for offices or maybe classrooms.

From time to time I drive there at night when going back home while having my lights on high beam. Sometimes I get weird looks

The benches were made like that to prevent homeless and those types of people from camping out. It is even quoted in MainCor as to why these benches are like this. Not sure if it's a good thing or bad thing, I mean the bums have to go somewhere. Oh yes I forgot to mentioned that, I was told that wa...

I think it is progress but some of the stuff they are doing is interesting. I was having a coffe at Oddly Correct and I thought they had some bike raks but the owner told me it was a bench. I tested it and all you can do is sorta lean on it, I think it would be useful if you are tired but not as com...

What is the deal with Borderstar? I just went to an open house 2 weeks ago and it seemed all is good, my kiddo is about to be 3 so I will not need a school until 2 and a half years from now but already scouting schools. Like Borderstar, Foreign Language Academy for their Spanish immersion programm, ...

That lot in the corner was empty and now there is huge hole in it, I know the house north of the lot was built a couple of years ago because I saw it in Dwell. There is also a house 2 lots nort that was not there before and is a new build as far as I know, right next to I-670. Are you guys saying th...

They should let condo towers be built around the park itself, even if some land is lot for it.

Thanks Fan I contacted my council representative and aske her to vote in favor of this project.

And if you walk in OP people look at you weird. I once droppped my car at NTB at 119th and Metcalf and walked to the office, first thing I noticed was everyone was looking at me from their cars. Second to cross Metcalf man I tell you could be intimidating and I have crossed crazy streets in Mexico. :)

I just checked on their website and I do not see this as a pending project, it maybe dead.

Oh wow, If rememer correctly the developer was the same one that did the Cold Storage lofts. I have talked to some residents in the Westside (like 3) and they want something done with that school since it has been closed for years. Some of them welcomed the idea of doing housing for seniors. Why doe...

Something needs to be done with teh school on the Westside, I am sure I saw an article in the Star saying someone was to renovate it into senior appartments. not sure what happened.

My friend's wife works at Alta Vista and she said the teachers work really hard to turn around those kids, she said the 1st year it is troublesome since a lot of the kids come from the KCMOSD, after a year or year and a half most kids are now excited about learning or at least willing. She was so ex...

I agree with Highlander while I work in Kansas and really like the State I dislike the policy to poach companies, so I too avoid at all costs to buy anything in KS. I try to tell my wife to go north for any stores we do not have close to the Westside and try to buy the rest in stores in the core of ...
