I think we need to cut taxes paired with cutting deductions across the board. Scrap all corporate tax deductions and tax havens and give a lower tax rate that all businesses must pay for all revenue earned within the US. Do the same for people where instead of a marginal system we implement a flat r...

Aware of all of this, I still believe that if this had happened under Obama, even with all those teams and plans in place, we still would be in a similar situation as we currently are with Covid-19. It seems like all those brilliant scientific minds had some great ideas, but making sure we have a n...

Why not move the Steamboat Arabia to the site of the old city wharf at the foot of Main? Tie it into a restaurant/bar development on the waterfront with a steamboat replica for evening cruises. Finally you'd be able to enjoy a beer in this town while watching the river flow. They want to move to a ...

The mural/mosaic has disappeared And these boxes have appeared I recently came across some Kodachromes that my Grandmother took around Christmas 1962, one of which was the new Arthur Kraft mural on the Board of Education/ Central Library building. Unfortunately at 577KB, it is too large to add here...

We'll find out soon enough if the Dem's standing back and permitting, even encouraging people to destroy the country in one form or another is a viable election strategy.

It works. See Trump.

Scary situation. Apparently someone shot out a few windows on the south facing side of the building early this morning. I did hear gun shots come from S.Truman around 1am.

Makes me a bit nervous.

They shot out a non-existent window?

Not out of woods yet, a secondary wave of unemployed may still occur as the impact on economy may not be fully realized yet. The place I work has been giving some info. Revenue is still down, but up compared to the initial weeks. This due to companies expecting lower billing rates and they said the...

Does anyone know what will replace this development. I saw an article with the twin oaks building and was sad to see we lost so much density.

NSPJ Architect

Becoming the go-to architect for generic downtown wood frames

When you figure out all the checkboxes to get a project through the council without issues you will keep getting business.

That's a really bad design flaw.

It’s a 5 floor drop. There are stairs part of the way and elevator

The Lobby is floor 4 so there's no way it can be a 5 floor drop

So another reason it's a bad design. The Baltimore drive is where they are going to empty group buses. It was just a focus on the Wyandotte side going to the ballroom and the Baltimore side was an after thought. Is it a building killer? No. Will it be an annoyance for groups and customers? Yes. The...

Maybe this is what we should have done with the lyric

What owner wanted to do that with the Lyric?

Just got to KCI and I’m really impressed with the amount of progress made on the new terminal in the last three months. In that time, the (new) terminal went from a hole I’m the ground to a very visible mixture of steel and concrete. I counted at least six cranes on site and can’t wait to see this ...

I think that buildings would be required to sit above the designated flood plan which is something like 50 or 60 feet of river depth. It’s not a perfect map, but the fema floodplain designation is helpful, search by zip code. they’re marking 750 feet elevation with the heaxagon markers so that must...

The state audit from a few years ago pointed out retailers must post when someone is paying more from being in a district and that it was rarely done. Yet another item that feels like a cause of the new law as the most extreme method of notification they could come up with because of failure to foll...

Is there a way to mute or ignore certain members? Asking for a friend. I think if you click on someone’s profile you can add a foe, I’m not positive if it hides their stuff but I think it does Yes, it works. Can still see that they posted but don't see the post. Not perfect but better. It's the opt...
