Re: If the Plaza goes up for sale, who should/would buy?

I wonder if the new hotel and parking garage are going at 46th Terrace and Penn on the vacant lot that is there on the hillside?

Re: Big XII Tournament, the P+L, downtown in general.

I read in The Star today that a lot of visitors are farmers who are benefitting from high corn and soybean prices, and are going all out to have a "big-time."   Thus, a good number of visitors could be from farms and small towns, and shopping in the big city is big treat for them. Especial...

Re: Abandoned pools

I don't know if I've ever seen anything about those pools, or that club, in any of the books I've seen. Can't find anything on the KC Library site about them either.

Was there ever a school near the pools?  Many of the pools in Wyandotte County were part of the school system there.

Re: Big XII Tournament, the P+L, downtown in general.

Maybe volunteers should start talking up the WWI Museum more.  Most people have come away impressed with it.  It's also pretty easy to get to for most people staying in hotels.  Especially with the techology utilized in the exhibits.

Re: Big XII Tournament, the P+L, downtown in general.

This question is for volunteers.  Are you getting feedback from visitors as to where they are going when not at the tournament?  Are they hitting certain entertainment districts (Crown Center, Westport, 39th St., Plaza), the museums, the zoo, etc?  What seems popular?  Are they going to the WWI Muse...

Re: ONGOING: Sprint Center bookings

KMBC Channel 9 News reported that, after the Big 12 Tournament ends, the Sprint Center will have earned enough thus far this year to retire the debt on the sports arena for the year.

All those tall buildings are just too attractive for terrorists to ignore. Especially if one of them is occupied by a Western conglomerate.

Re: OFFICIAL: Power & Light District

It's too bad we don't have an antiques/crafts/knick-knacks district in the Crossroads. Those places are great for tourists to spend hours walking through. A book and music store would also help a great deal. Sort of like some of the shops in Downtown  Parkville. In future years, we will have the Mai...
