Re: New Riverfront Women's Soccer Stadium

Does anybody know if any of the restaurants at CPKC Stadium will be open outside of game days?

Re: OFFICIAL - Pennway Point

If Union Station was willing to give up the parking fronting the building, they could extend Washington Park further West.

Re: On-going downtown development projects

Wouldn't it be more advantageous, to expand Bartle Hall over the Barney Ellis Plaza? They plan to put a huge park over the freeway just a short walk away. They could call that park Barney Ellis Park and then KC could attract larger conventions too.

Re: Power and Light District Official Tenant List

Storefronts on Main have been empty for years now. If I was from out of town, and saw that, my first thought would be that Kansas City isn't' doing well economically.

Re: Three Light

The Kansas City skyline is looking like something out of Minecraft, zero character, and they look like they are putting up a big solid wall on one side of downtown.

Re: Power and Light District Official Tenant List

I feel the downtown area expects a higher quality food experience. If you can afford to live downtown, stay in the hotels downtown, or even come out for an overpriced concert, then you probably want something different. Soon the streetcar will be able to take us farther south to all the midtown fast...

Re: Status and future of the River Market area??

The city can’t stop crime and you’re worried about tagging. Tell me you’re a yuppie without telling me you’re a yuppie. You’d probably ironically live in a building with some stupid name pertaining to art too. Go to any other major city and there’s garbage and vandalism everywhere even in the nices...

Time to crack down on the River Market taggers. How does no one see someone spray a tag 12 foot tall?

Re: Power and Light District Official Tenant List

I've made multiple requests to rent 3-4,000 sq ft. of retail space for a family friendly store. Cordish just blew us off. I can only guess it's because we aren't a national chain.

Re: 5th and Main (Northwest Corner)

I don't know where that plan to eliminate parking came from, but the River Market may as well be just another suburb then. No business in Kansas City will operate where the only parking is strictly for people who live there.

It doesn't help that they have one leasing agent, for all their properties, and who is based in Maryland.

Re: OFFICIAL: Power & Light District

Apparently if you're not a high end retailer they aren't interested in renting to you. I'm finding that they would just as soon keep those retail spaces vacant and have KC pay their debts.

Re: 5th and Main (Northwest Corner)

"NIMBYism for the sake of more parking spaces" has always been a non-issue here. The parking lot was always going to convert to a nearly 400 space garage (more than double the current number). The only difference was that they were taking the public parking and giving it to one private com...

Gee thanks all for the support. All I wanted was for Harvest to replace the PUBLIC parking. You know, do what they said they would do in the beginning. All I get are a bunch of attacks.
