Should have mentioned that a lot of them commute about as far as I do… Mostly from Independence and Raytown.

Re: Downtown Baseball Stadium
I obviously will not be voting in this, but my Missouri coworkers and a lot of the people I’ve volunteer with on the Missouri side up in the northland have been very vocally opposed and will be voting no tomorrow. I’m interested to see if there’s going to be a silent majority who approves this and w...

Try dealing with SME parents on the regular. They’re always like this.

Re: Plaza move-ins (ongoing)
Just here to comment that it was in the news the other day that REI isn’t doing that great at the moment and has laid off a bunch of people to prepare for challenging times ahead.

Re: Former Kmart some movement
This K-Mart site, which opened circa 1970, and a couple other K-Marts (the northland I-29 site, for example) were vacant for about as long as they were open. My last visit was 1986 to buy a footlocker for books to take to college. I think it closed around 1995, nearly 30 years ago. 30 years of prim...

Re: Independence Center
I thought that big outlet mall in St Louis was basically closed too. Are you talking about the one off 370? St. Louis Mills (the one off 370) closed down a while ago. Only Cabelas is still open there. Chesterfield had two outlet malls open within months of each other (Taubman and Premium Outlets). ...

Re: Housing Prices Are Booming in U.S. Cities
Another important "megatrend" is that the postwar housing boom -- the vast construction tracts from 1948 until the oil crash of 1974 -- those units are nearing their end-of-life. They were built cheaply, not like the more solid homes of the prewar period. The streetcar suburbs (Brookside,...

Re: Crown Center: urban disaster, shining star, or in-between
What are the Halls doing? Honestly. The sports deck and hotel topper spaces have an insane amount of untapped potential. On top of that, they have acres of developable urban land next to a future streetcar stop being used as surface lots for about 10 cars a day. They mothball most of Halls and cont...

Re: Crown Center: urban disaster, shining star, or in-between
Marriott has has very little to do with the removal of restaurants, bars, the decommissioning of the activity deck, and things like the removal of the conversation pit in the Westin lobby. Those were all Hallmark decisions Oh, another big drop was that the Hall family never envisioned Halls anchori...

Re: Crown Center: urban disaster, shining star, or in-between
Did anyone else go on the tour on Saturday? The answer about Skies ever rotating again is a definitive no. Why? How is that hotel doing anyway? I still hope that a higher tier hotel will come in and renovate back to to a top tier flag. Because a sister property with the same mechanical systems, had...

Re: Independence Center
Independence really needs to start thinking about how to rebuild the mall into something more mixed use. I honestly think it would be pretty easy to do considering its layout to add residential or something. I’m pretty surprised they haven’t pushed harder for redevelopment considering the mall is i...

Re: Independence Center
From Photos I saw on a Facebook group today, they’ve pulled out the giant obstacle course thing that was never open, the European furniture center in the old Macy’s is permanently closed, city gear, a division of Hibbett sports, has gone out of business, and Dillards is cleaning out a large portion ...

Re: Companies moving/expanding to KC area
Could be worse for Emporia than us as the Lenexa bakery never reopened. The Emporia bakery has been one of their more stable employers since the college and Tyson majorly cut back on staff.

Re: Plaza move-ins (ongoing)
Starbucks should not be there. For decades that was a locally owned charming German cafe---Emile's. Plaza was best when it was a combo of some high end, lots of local, some neighborhood. Target could be the equivalent of what Sears was half a century ago on the Plaza. I would love to see Target tak...
