This is a great idea. I guess I kind of assumed these were already taken care of but glad to be proven wrong with a real plan set forward.

Re: Plaza move-ins (ongoing)

Anyone else left impressed with the River Market development renderings by the new stadium and wondering what the hell we are doing with the plaza? IMO there easily could be a handful of impressive projects going in over there and yet here we are seemingly wondering if some outside group from Dallas...

Re: Westport

I think we have pretty good proof on Ale Houses closure being the activities that went on there IE the cost of security and insurance being too high. I know Bridgers had some stuff to down not nearly as bad as Ale Houses. I can't help but think of this is security cost/insurance/city cracking down k...

Re: Westport

Johnny Kaws aka Bridgers has announced they've permanently closed their Westport and Waldo locations. Hopefully the Allerds pull out of Westport completely so we can get some cool places. What happened? Not too sure. I know Johnny Kaws aka Bridgers closed a few months ago they announced some sort o...

Yeah. Agree with you was just more sharing my frustration. It’s also clear AEG doesn’t want a tenant either.
If this could be proven could they be sued?

Re: NYC Migrants Are Being Welcomed by Kansas City’s Mayor to Fill Jobs

I think we all know the answer to that question.... How's the "most progressive council" in city history working? Record high crime, No development, Rising costs. Adding thousands of migrants does not help that issue whatsoever it's a mayor who wants to be in DC so bad giving his pals a r...

Re: NYC Migrants Are Being Welcomed by Kansas City’s Mayor to Fill Jobs

The mayor said on TV yesterday that the migrants must have work permits. The action was taken because local employers have difficulty finding workers to fill positions. He also mentioned large construction projects that needed laborers. Local agencies work with migrants and refugees to find jobs an...

Re: KCPD Crime Data

Any downward trend is good news. There is a saying: "Some people are determined not to be pleased with good news." There were several shootings yesterday. This was your pathetic attempt to pretend crime isn't an issue many of you had done it for years until it became undeniable in 2020.

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.

No shot they get their second round (after 2006) of state funding package for a stadium whilst KC can't even get it's first one still. You can thank the mayor for the state treating us like their red headed step child KC has received short shrift from Missouri for a long time and over the tenures o...

I don't think you understand what "year to date" means.
