the audience observation is a good one. maybe a bit off topic otherwise, but relevant to that observation, is logo creep in the loop generally post-streetcar. for example, PWC put its logo on the skywalk over main and petticoat facing both north and southbound, and andrews mcmeel put its logo above ...

saw multiple streetcars running on friday night and throwing sparks from the cable thing on top. is that just the effect of ice buildup on the cable? made for a cool show!

a whole bunch of listings in the west bottoms are showing on loopnet that i don't recall from ~november/december, including the mbs truck and equipment building [https://www.loopnet.com/Listing/1308-W-9th-St-Kansas-City-MO/16947524/] and 1225 w 8th [https://www.loopnet.com/Listing/1225-W-8th-St-Kans...

because i walk past underutilized space 25x a day every day and this is the rare occasion i can place blame on a current retail tenant for several years of it instead of some shadowy, abstract kemper or copaken enterprise.

thanks for doing the math for me! today begins my boycott of that stupid place. if it's still around on november 17 2023 i'll give it a go, but my hope is that it is a 5 guys by then.

i'd buy yesterday if i had the $$$$ to buy and the $$$ to do a complete gut and reno. nothing like watching the gradual imp/explosion of worcester management from a good vantage point!

don't know, but believe it was recently re-listed for sale at a lower price than i've seen previously (i think $925k). also an HOA fee in the $700/month neighborhood.

if cordish wants another prime lot they can just pay to build one on top of the loop ‾\_(ツ)_/‾

used to dislike dogs but my wife demanded we get one a year ago and now i just dislike children

whopper bar!

A great biography of Jane Jacobs came out in 2016, called Eyes On The Street, written by Robert Kanigel. My favorite part was how she almost single-handedly kept Robert Moses from building a freeway through SoHo.

hell yes, going to read that. thank you!

Can you even have density without walkability naturally increasing though? I don't think I could name a place that's dense yet unwalkable. Even if the streetscape is total trash, you'll still have everything a shorter walking distance away. you're right imo but i think this thread is using 3-5 diff...

ah! i completely missed this thread!! i am midway through the death and life of american cities by jane jacobs. it is similar to reading this board except i don't get to make pithy jokes midway through any given discussion and also nobody is bitching about glass walls or militantly campaigning on be...

yeah that's on the bank being dumb not the scooters.

i thought the brunch sucked summer 2018 and was supremely disappointed in my order and in what i sampled from others. others were happy with their food fwiw. also fwiw i was hungover. i don't have any real interest in going back. this was at plaza location, i've never been to the other.

pretty sure 1200 main was husch & eppenberger's office from before the blackwell sanders merger.

nice list. minor note, husch blackwell is on the plaza

LET'S GOOOO!! sign me up for the red corrugated shoebox. this is, conservatively, eight billion times better than more parking. someone let the developer know they don't need multiple parking spots for my unit.

about a week ago he told me they would probably have longer hours at least to some extent.

charisse has a pretty good slate of snacks from $3-5-7 each, drinks too. 4-6 M-F. lamb sliders pretty good value quantity/dollar. ice house will feed you "sliders" that are almost too much food for $5 a pop, again drinks too. i believe 2-6 M-F. look to be basically more their taco-ish stuff than str...
