On the other hand hangovers are much easier

Working the night shift and sleeping during the day seems like the most likely reason.

Think of a company that puts a warehouse or office in every major city. We want to have their headquarters or their national service center that’s important to every office. The place I work the senior managers from across the country come to KC for a lot of events. We have certain support staff tha...

It starts May 1. Model 1: you would need to pay to get on outside the city limits but can get off anywhere. This would encourage finding a job inside the city limits or biking back to KC. Simple to understand but less flexible for exceptions. Model 2: it’s by route distance inside the city. like 39 ...

First new station in a while at 31st and Troost went in today.

No windows in the bedroom of the 1br is an interesting move at ~$1400/mo.

What?! The whole building is one giant window. I don’t understand.

One KC Place isn't a giant window the whole length up and it's nearly the same.

Glass <> transparent, like a mirror

The warehouse is a small part of the complex. Sure, they run lighter on employees but given there's an October 15 deadline from extensions they're going to be doing processing year round Regardless, there's no chance a government agency would open up their parking garage for the first half of the se...

Access to cheap land probably.

there had to be plenty of places to build downtown?

Not if someone wasn't willing to sell for less.

I went back and found something even more incredible. They're not necessarily even using the parking lots for parking. Some say eliminating the parking lots could be the end to the long-held Old Settlers festival. The three-day event draws around 200,000 people downtown each year. And many festiviti...

...that number came from the chairperson of the event. love too interject myself in JoCo controversy. also, Olathe is like the purist essence of that 435 South discount brand haughty aloofness. FYI- they renamed that magazine years ago. It's called 435 Magazine and it's targeted to all of the city ...

Looking at the past 30 years of stadiums I found ten that don't purposefully have a downtown view. San Francisco, Denver and Cincinnati as you mention Atlanta doesn't have a view of downtown. It's KC equivalent would be a view of College Blvd Both stadiums in NYC face away from Manhattan and Brookly...

There are about 7 afternoon weekday games a year. Attendance is typically between 5-10k for those games. Any uptick in attendance would be from people already working downtown. Non issue. I doubt the IRS would open their garages, however, since those buildings are unoccupied during baseball season ...

perhaps try to get away from thinking there always has to be new parking garages regardless of where this ship lands. Use what is readily available. Denver didnt build ANY new garages for the ballpark and only had 1-2 smallish surface lots. Rest was re-purposed from nearby offices, civic, etc. Here...

I liked how a three day festival should mean doing nothing best of all “This is going to affect Old Settlers in a big way,” Newbanks said. “But Old Settlers is just a small part of the entertainment we bring to the downtown. And the arts and crafts vendors pay sales tax that goes to the city. Thousa...

I'm a fan of The City Observed and glad a new version is in the works. I'm still skeptical of a downtown stadium in KC, but maybe Goldberger can change my mind on things. I agree that, if a stadium happens downtown, there are better places than the East Village area. Perhaps this city-owned site in...

lol I was more talking about the concrete itself. Looks way better than any KCMO road in this pic

They rendered it after a storm at dusk. Any road looks better in that situation.

Those streets sure don't match what is there haha

It's a fairly good match. They even have the fence where the right turn lane was removed. They mainly redid the streetscape with a lot more landscaping

The post sure sounded like you were very frustrated to walk a few blocks away from the restaurant you were attending. Apologies if i read it wrong. I don't get why anybody complains about parking in any of those neighborhoods and then is perfectly fine parking at Truman sports complex or their favo...

I wonder if they have reason to think the owners would finally sell. Didn't the city explore purchasing this property before, like in the '80s or '90s, and the owners weren't interested? Or maybe it was a prospective convention hotel developer that was interested in it and was rebuffed. The giant s...
