I added 4 Light, Strata, and Reverb. Bravo has too little information out so I didn't add it.

This seems to be the common reaction to any modern building that is not a glass rectangle... Must be a KC thing

TIL. This project is actually the second Loews project in KC, first being the Midland Theatre

Sort of hard to connect the two. Tisch brothers took over Loews theaters in 1958 long after Midland ceased to be Loew's. They then started tearing down theaters to put up hotels. Guess Loew's Hotel has better ring to it than Tisch's Hotel

Looks descent. I appreciate the want to match the other buildings on the skyline, but I'm tired of limestone colored panels and blue glass. We need some new materials on our skyline! Variation is just as important as complementing.

Has anyone noticed that part of Truman Rd has been closed for more than a year? Every major closure should be a road diet candidate.

Walked all around and up through the ballroom greenspace a few days ago, few things.
* The south facade where the ballroom is located is shaping up to be a better streetlevel experience than I feared.
* The ped bridge appears to be very low. BTW can we get a sidewalk open soon?
* the drive and future porte-cochère look to be turning into a nice space.
