Re: Downtown Baseball Stadium

Re: KC metro growth and migration stats
KC job growth rate is really slowing. Wonder what’s up with that.

Re: The Midland Lofts (formerly Midland Office Building)
Wanna hear something wild? The Midland Lofts website says 53 apartments are available of the 135 being built. Already 60% leased if that's the case. Could they open with a 90%+ occupancy number? Are these the P&L District "affordable" units? If so, shows there is a market for that in ...

Re: Proposed UMKC on campus arena.
Economics for a developer to build an arena on their own dime and you renting it for very little a few days a year just doesn’t work

Re: OFFICIAL - New KCI Terminal
Going from Austin to our airport today. At least we have something over them. That airport always feels claustrophobic, dark, and dated.
