The limestone layers, both the Winterset and the Bethany Falls groups, are thick, sturdy, and level. They would be the best candidates for deep tunnel boring through KC. However, midtown and downtown represent significant plateaux, requiring any north-south route that would pass under the east-west...

Build KCI posted a short video showing the current construction stage of the concourse connector and a rendering of what it will look like once completed.

The Andy's on Shawnee Mission Parkway is always hopping, and thanks, now I really want a Snowmonster.

Neat how they turned US 61 north of St. Louis and State Route 63 in Indiana into interstates.

I'm still a bit surprized that QT would consider it after the recent remodel down the street (87th & Farley). That being said, it is a perfect location for such a thing. I wouldn't be surprised if it closed with little warning once the new one is open. They did exactly that in Shawnee when they ope...

I'm a little surprised the tweaked plans included more office space, given Covid-19 and its effects on work-from-home growth.

So they have single-family homes with office towers essentially in their backyards... how is that going to sell, exactly?

I took this as our flight was departing for Seattle on Monday, July 13.

I understand resistance to the size and location, but there's an awful lot of people in Shawnee who like to complain about "crime" and throw around "Section 8" like it's a slur anytime someone tries to build an apartment complex in town. I wish something could be done to replace the storage units, p...

Sunflower Development Group planning to build 5-story residential complex on site of former Wonderscope Children’s Museum A new residential development is on the horizon for the site of the former Wonderscope Children’s Museum near downtown Shawnee. Sunflower Development Group, based in Kansas City...

Of note, there is a sizable electrical substation off N Brighton Ave at that northwest quadrant.

Build KCI released a fancy animation today showing the new traffic pattern for reaching the B and C terminals.

So if all these business end up filing insurance claims, will companies like AIG end up needing a bailout? There is no way they have this amount of money to cover all these claims There's an in-depth discussion of that here . In essence, business interruption not caused by property damage to the bu...

Some enterprising entrepreneur has set up a kiosk to sell Chiefs gear in the parking lot.

Update, since I know you were all on tenterhooks waiting for one: I had to get some home improvement stuff, so I decided to drive down to Menards in Olathe so I could get Lion's Choice on the way home. It was much improved over my last visit. The meat in my beef and cheddar was nice and pink. If it ...

As someone who loves Lion's Choice when in St. Louis, the Independence and Olathe locations have left me disappointed because the beef is way overcooked. Maybe that's on me for not asking for it to be rare, but my beef and cheddar sandwiches have had no pink at all to the meat, whereas the ones I ge...

Sounds like Shawnee is going to be stuck with Chili’s and Applebee’s as our two sit-down restaurant options for the foreseeable future.

Mike Frizell is live-tweeting the meeting. Members of the planning commission were not pleased with the changes, but they voted to affirm that this plan remains consistent with the city’s comprehensive plan. There was also substantial discussion about some orange awnings, if anyone needs help gettin...

The Planning Commission will review the developer’s request to make major revisions to the plan at tomorrow night’s meeting. The original proposal was for 530 apartments, but that’s been scaled back to “up to” 343 units. They would also like to keep the old Dillon’s building and reuse it. Demolition...

The worst I ever saw was at 11pm at night. We flew Southwest back into town. I went to get the car while everyone else got luggage. Outside the closest doors everyone exits with their luggage there were people loading cars from four of the six lanes. At one spot I had to angle across two lanes of t...
