Will the volleyball tournaments ever end? It's nice to see people traversing through the crossroads on foot. A nice departure from the general ghost town vibes Im normally experiencing. It does seem we have become somewhat of a youth/college sports tournament destination, wouldn't be my first pick,...

Ordinance introduced establishing that KC is not a sanctuary city nor will become one. The state apparently bans sanctuary cities from receiving any funding and budget season is upon us….

Yes

How many incidents occur here?

What I posted came from either the city or someone on the suit

They wouldn’t but at least could cover operations. The Waldo area is ripe for dense redevelopment.

After looking at the plans in detail for the Main St Extension and the additional areas where the trams should be in dedicated right of way more often, I think they have done a pretty good job with this extension despite it not being center running. I still think they may have to ultimately figure ...

What is up with the Cards asking for 600 million? 600 million for relatively new stadium? I mean KC's new stadium will only cost 30% more! All in a market that consistently draws 35k a night? Meaning they have no reason to go crazy on renovations. They are dong this NOW? When KC is in the middle of...

I wish the former YMCA in downtown Kansas City at 10th and Oak had been converted to lofts and not demolished. https://kchistory.org/image/ymca-building-3?solr_nav%5Bid%5D=86c49a5d1fbed40615ee&solr_nav%5Bpage%5D=0&solr_nav%5Boffset%5D=15 Single room occupancy and dormitory housing likely ha...

If they are going to take it to the dump, I want to get some pieces.

I’d plan to check 1818 site at least daily if you want pieces.

Low, I think I read they have the loan already.

This is just Lucas planning for his political future. He's young enough he bolts for Washington or NYC and is just posturing favors for job paybacks down the road. Bunch is probably trying the same thing but I'm not sure he catches anything. Maybe, a transportation middle manager for Buttigeig. Who...

Where are you seeing that? Jackson and KC websites show me 100% exempt but don’t say if it’s because of an incentive or because of property owner. I also see a CID in place.

Not in this city! Developer said the same. Major plan amendment filed this week

That’s a different org than their political committe afaik

Did 51 Oak Whoke Food Apartment's get a tax incentive? Or no taxes as it’s UMKC owned land?

STL Cardinals will ask the local and/state government for over $500 million to renovate Busch Stadium.

Correct me if I am wrong, but it seems like the quality and service of the KCATA bus system has fallen quite a bit since they made it free. I predicted it would happen. Nothing good comes from making a transit system free to use which is why there are pretty much no large high quality, high use tra...
