A Kemper vote could have passed had the same scare tactics been employed.

guess the 14 game winning streak of 1994 was a bad memory, or 3 rookies of the year, a cy young, and that magical season of 2003 were all bad memories too.

The Royals haven't been a contender for many years. I'm not trying to be a dick when I say this, but many folks my age (27) and younger simply don't remember the Royals being a great team. I'm not saying they were terrible every year, but I've just never known them to be a good team. We don't know what the Glory Days were like. We'd like to see them...
But yeah, A LOT more folks voted yes who were over 30 then those who were under 30.

It was an extremely small amount. He doesn't believe in it that much. He waited until the downtown condo market was already booming before invested too. It's not like he was rolling dice. He was doing something for himself. He doesn't live here and where is his sports bar? Not here. I'm not a dedicated Kietzman basher but crowning him as an all knowing champion for KC is far from being the truth.skim82 wrote:Not sure, but he believes in DT so much that he put his money down on a Western Auto Loft.

No bitterness. Just stating facts. There are quite a few people from outside KCMO investing in downtown property. I really can't believe you even asked that with all of the information pointing to that fact that's been posted on this forum.skim82 wrote:I would have to disagree, the Western Auto Lofts were one of the first real "popular" and recognizable loft developments in the city.. I personally think that the DT condo/loft market is just at the beginning of being something great. Besides, how many people in Blue Springs or Lee's Summit are willing to put their money into DT? Just because he lives in Lenexa, it doesn't mean he's not pro-KCMO.
He grew up in the KC area, and attended SMN High School... I truly believe that his heart is in the right place, and IT JUST WOULD'VE MADE SENSE to put a stadium DT. Also, he wasn't championing a new Kauffman Stadium in JoCo, so why all the bitterness??? If anything, I think he was drumming up support for KANSAS CITY, regardless of which side of the state line he lives on.
