I had some last week at Westside Local. I thought it was really tasty. Nice minty flavor on top of the tripel base.

I'd be curious to know if it is still around anywhere. Westside Local is out.

Re: KCMO Downtown Streetcar

I suggested that they avoid any use of color, so as to minimize maintenance (which typically means shabby and in need of maintenance). Keep it simple and neutral and cheap(er). In the future, when there are beaucoup streetcar lines, that require differentiation, then stick a big blue, pink, red or ...

Re: KCMO Downtown Streetcar

I imagine each stop to be somewhat bare bones on account of the line's frequency. Because people won't be hanging out for >10 minutes I think extra benches, etc. aren't really necessary. Just a spot to get out of the rain perhaps.

an online survey about station shelter design will be available on the project website friday. there are five options to choose from. Maybe it's just me but I'm a little underwhelmed at the options, some of which seem little better than a bus stop. Can you elaborate some? I'd be interested to hear ...

Re: Proposed apartment for 13th and Walnut
