Well, the permanent taxes will at least support permanent sports teams I'm sure!

I said this way earlier in the thread but the NKC site will be hundreds of millions of dollars cheaper for the Royals Why? Because it's owned by the Sherman's best friend and has essentially already been gifted to them if they want it. In fact, that site was specifically put together by Sherman's b...

Thanks for the updated pictures!

Perhaps KC voters will vote to fund the Royals downtown if they don't also have to pay for the Chiefs. Perhaps.. Yeah I think you've got that backwards How? You think KC voters will sit there really let the Royals go after they just lost the Chiefs? No way I don't think the Chiefs are leaving ¯\_(ツ...

I think the save the crossroads did more damage than anything. You already had to overcome the suburban vote so once everyone latched onto "destruction of the crossroads", it was all over. East Village would have won. East Village campaign would have been about creating something, while t...

Royals Review (a Royals site - that's been around for probably 10 years) has a twitter poll with 1,200+ votes at NKC - 17.2% East Village - 19.3% KC Star Printing Press - 63.5% KCDowntown Cowardly to not name the third option as the neighborhood it would destroy. Unless someone's unveiled a stadium...

Same. I still keep an eye on listings and count myself lucky to have gotten my place.

No change to the alley squeeze for 1819 eh

Any other updates?

Good people of Kansas City: On behalf of the development team I would like to apologize for the prior proposal of a 900' Ferris wheel. We have heard your voices and your feedback is important to us. The small size was insulting and did not offer adequate views or sufficiently contribute to downtown'...

BEHOLD

People on social media are acting like the local government of Kansas City was given the option of a having Ferris wheel. The only correct size was either "as large as possible" or just "larger than the Ferris wheel in [CITY]." The only correct location was either directly in dow...

2 bed, 2 bath, 2,293 sqft condo listed for $1,095,000 in River Market.

I never expected so many people to be so obsessed with the diameter of a Ferris wheel.

Would have been great

No, talking about this building behind the two ferns.

Google Maps street view from a similar angle

I assume the Space Odyssey monolith on the south side is the pool, or is that the entrance to the garage? What's the point of alleyways if you're not going to use them for garage entrances? I do like that it shows some color. Hopefully, we've moved past the dumb phase where everyone paints their re...

I'd say anything is better than what's there now but fortune would somehow grant us another surface lot

Seems a bit tall for the neighborhood. But I guess that's how you start adding density.
