Re: GO ROYALS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
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? with remote work and empty office buildings, would it make a difference? ~32,000 residents and 1,000’s of hotel rooms within walking distance definitely couldn’t hurt…

Re: OFFICIAL - Pennway Point
Why wait for the IRS to leave? Kick them to the curb and bulldoze that horrible new building tomorrow. It’s not like anyone will miss them. Good idea! They are a tenant, not the owner. And the land owner doesn’t give AF honestly, they just want their check, and they know the IRS doesn’t bounce. I d...

Re: Downtown Baseball Stadium
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...

Re: Downtown Baseball Stadium
Do the Feds have plans to fill the space being vacated at 9th and Locust? Not presently, and they’re still in the interim period of trying to figure that out, but a lot of consolidation has been happening across the metro. It sounds like the guards at that building though have been told they might ...

Re: OFFICIAL - New KCI Terminal
I much rather have anon specific airline branded club. Half the cities I fly to don't have direct Delta flights and the other half don't have direct United. So I'm constantly flipping between the two. An AMEX club might even get me to consider SWA again. I can speak to this as being in the same boa...

Re: GO ROYALS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Media rights are a bit more complicated than the discussion being had here. There is a still a chance Royals could be on Amazon streaming (or otherwise) within this season. https://archive.ph/sTL1N I still foresee a long term restructuring that includes MLB bringing in rights to their umbrella, and...

Re: Grand Blvd Closures
You clearly haven't been on that street after 10pm on a Friday or Saturday when it was open? If you did, you'd remember the street car racing and donut-polooza. https://www.kcpd.org/media/news-releases/teams-of-officers-break-up-illegal-sideshows/ This is some great enforcement I think all of us on...

Re: Downtown Baseball Stadium
The Royals draw just fie when they are respectable. Not losing 90+ games. We stay on the pace we have set so far this season you will have near sellouts on the weekends by June. Biggest problem is over the last 30 years we are either in the playoffs or losing 90+ games, with a lot more of the latte...

Re: Plaza move-ins (ongoing)
Those are all good ideas I agree with. As someone else pointed out lack of development. Development along the new street car line & near Plaza area should be the top priority for the city. It is almost baffling why so little is being done. People say “streetcar is the incentive” without really ...

Re: GO ROYALS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It's essential the royals fix their tv rights. They are losing generations of new fans based off an outdated model. The contract expires at the end of the season It's what they do with it that matters. It might involve taking less television money in the short term. It's essential that people can w...

Re: Downtown Baseball Stadium
Map of the vote. https://www.datawrapper.de/_/gnIRR/ Kind of makes me think Brookside might support extending the streetcar out to them after all. Can not afford it without regional funding, state funding, a federal grant, or getting the cost down. I vote for lets put some feelers out there and tac...

Re: GO ROYALS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I attended the game today. Yes, it was windy, but the kids enjoyed getting splashed with water from the fountains. People were having a good time too. Leaving with a win is the highlight of today. The fact no one shows up to the games is because of three factors. 1. Location. Why attend a game wher...

FBI moving to the northland per cityscene Was up at KCI today. Noticed the new FBI building. Looks like another government fortress. It looked up and running or about to be (Google Maps still lists the DT location as FBI HQ). Any idea what will become of the current FBI offices downtown? That area ...

Re: OFFICIAL - Pennway Point
I've thought about what happens to that complex once the IRS processing needs are reduced by online filing to the point they don't need that space any longer and start consolidating all the processing centers into just one final one. Does Fed Ex take it over as a processing center? Amazon fulfillme...

Oh, so you must work there. Yeah, I don't know the details or what kind of parking is available on the actual block of the KC fed building. I never really noticed how many fed buildings there are right around the arena and convention center in Baltimore. It's not a great area though. Too many gover...

Re: Downtown Baseball Stadium
Just attended a concert in Baltimore. We parked in a huge garage under a major federal building. Hundreds of other cars going to the concert parked there as well. They have to be making money, I only paid $15 using parkwhiz in advance, but many were paying the $45 fee at the gate. I'm only saying t...

Re: OFFICIAL - Pennway Point
When I look at these photos, I focus on the wasted space fronting the east side of Broadway because of the IRS Processing Center's set-back. It seems such a waste. It is. Seeing the interior of the IRS is even more depressing. A 3/4 empty parking garage in the MIDDLE of tax season. It’s wild how mu...
