Re: 18th and Vine

In an interview in The Independent Julia Irene Kauffman said that she is interested in the success of 18th & Vine. Could she turn her philanthropic interest in that direction?

Re: Downtown Buildings with Activity

In the seventies UMB had a lobby office in the ground floor and they "modernized" the lower floors by wrapping them in some sort of Disco aluminum. Would love to find a photo of this indignity.

Re: Is KC Tenants destroying the development future of downtown KCMO?

Saw No on stadium ad on TV sponsored by KC Tenants. I do not understand what advocating for No (or Yes) on the issue does for the interests of lower income renters. How is KC Tenants funded that they can afford to buy television ad space?

People living at the Sulgrave on the Plaza moan about the glare of the lights on the Plaza Tennis center. How would the ballpark affect the residents of 2 Light?

Re: OFFICIAL - Buck O'Neil Bridge

South approach ramp almost gone. This end of RM going to look a lot different with new open space and Atlas. Anyone seen any details of the pedestrian walkway? Will it only be accessed at 5th St, or will there also be a stairs or ramp further down?

KCAI has no interest in moving, Nelson has no interest in expanding into Southmoreland, especially after Rockhill nixed expansion on grounds of Laura Nelson home.

Crew working on west side today putting up cheap looking siding. The propped up Katz exoskeleton looks very vulnerable to high winds. Hope it survives.

Re: Redevelopment of old Quartermaster Depot site at Hardesty and Indy Ave.

Is that a roof top pool or just an awning? This is going to be a big shot in the arm for the Northeast, Independence Ave, even Truman Rd.

Re: OFFICIAL - East Village

Having lived in the View for a few years a while back, yes, this area does need retail. and dining. Right now just about anything is at least a 10-15 minute brisk walk away. Cannot be called a Village without it.
