When was that said?

Latest renderings, including the first formal of the Weld Wheel replacement (to be known as "The Henning"). https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/53657024946_e91ca0a68b_h.jpg https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/53657249958_dd81171a14_h.jpg https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/53657025146_4206...

I can't believe they have not even released a rendering for this. Downtown KC needs a tower crane! There will be two up soon enough. One for 1818 Main and the second for 3rd and Grand. Another three could go up if their respective projects start this year (New UMKC Building on Hospital Hill, Atlas ...

Royals are now first in the AL Central and 2nd in the entire American League behind the Yankees. It’s early, I know. But not a bad start to the season.

Their winning streak was broken yesterday, but they got a win today. Currently 10 wins-5 losses.

Because the Star Printing Press is still on the mind of folks, I was told that it was recently considered a contender for a Target. That idea is more likely than not dead at this point. If people would like for it to be kept, I think you should demolish the southern half and keep the northern glass ...

I’m not opposed to East Village. I’d like for the stadium to go there. I’ve said for a while now, but the issues with it make me think it’ll be a heavier lift than the Crossroads site. If the team, and city, can get something done, then do it. Except EC literally failed a public vote. Not sure how ...

I'm sure everyone is surprised, but I'm still down with North Loop!!! Move the 670 park donations to the plan re-establishing the street grid, build directly on the streetcar line and build the garages where the roadway is now before backfilling for buildings on the grid. Between two major highways...

If the Royals play well against the Mets and White Sox (next 6 games), the stands better be more full for the home stand against the Orioles.

All that sounds nice, but that leaves the elephant in the room: the Federal Government.

Unless that vacate the building at 9th and Locust (eliminating their usage of the garage at 10th and Cherry) and they hire more security guards for the Bolling Federal Building, then the stadium is a non-starter.

They’re sending this to a public vote? For what reason?

East Village is worse than Crossroads because you’re evicting residents of two affordable housing buildings, need to vacate many more streets, and have to contend with the Feds. If you think KCTenants was pissed about crossroads, you should see them if East Village was brought up.

Slightly off-topic, but St. Louis peeps, what's the story here: https://twitter.com/unusual_whales/status/1778479545613439455 In short, SomeraRoad bought it previously. Worked on a redevelopment plan with Advantes Group (a small local developer). Ended up getting incentives lined up for a mixed-use...

Royals are whooping Houston’s ass in the last game of this series. Bottom of the 1st: 9 runs. And how many people are there? I had a conversation with someone here I won't name, but they can if they want. What if you could just walk in to a game? Sit at a bar and watch over lunch. It's time to reth...

It would be wrong to keep the Royals at TSC. Even with a streetcar connection, the suburban minded folks would still control what happens by demanding parking remain, practically eliminating the Royals chances of a mixed-use development next to the stadium. Building on the other side of 70 is not su...

Royals now second in AL Central. #1 in bets for the Wildcard. Won against the Astros 11-2 tonight. 7 of those runs were in the 3rd inning.

Their home opener attendance this year was 38,775. Pretty close to sell out.

Those 18th Street improvements are pretty amazing. Really hope they can still make this location work. 18th Street is getting come improvements in the form of new concrete curbs near corners, but nothing at the level seen in that rendering. It would be nice to enhance the bike path between 18th and...

Not that it means much, but here's a rendering of the Crossroads Stadium high-rises viewed from the east. It was hidden in the 18th Street pedestrian improvements rendering I posted back in February. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/53642898487_5c144630e4_h.jpg The original image in question... h...
