MMGY Global is moving from their building across from the Bernstein Rein building and out to the Edison District in downtown OP. I worked there when they moved into that building from the Mark Twain building. Never loved the Plaza space - it wasn't all that nice. That spot wasn't exactly great for c...

https://www.facebook.com/Queen-Priscillas-107212834107086/ That is a weird spot, but I will definitely give it a shot. Although, I'm pretty sure I said that about AnaMarina that was there before. The link above does say their open, but not sure. No real activity on Facebook. Apparently it's a "Uniq...

Been following BritChief on Twitter for a while. He is a hoot.

There's also a "Baseball Brit" on Twitter who is a huge Royals/KC fan. He toured the US all year watching major and minor league ball. Well worth the follow.

Seriously, 17.5% of tickets? That is a joke. The tickets on the re-sell market are obscene, just getting in the door is around 4k-5k, plus another 1k in fees to the third parties. Literally out of reach of most of Kansas City and even dedicated season ticket holders mostly don't get to go. Furtherm...

I definitely agree with regards to the second part - playing every day in the MLB playoffs creates an energy/momentum in the city that is unparalleled. The Gomes example is interesting - because I don't think anyone really thought of him as a local star until the parade. Maybe I'm misremembering. I ...

The Bond Bridge only cost $25M? Really? I thought the bridge itself was closer to $75M and the entire project (all of the interchanges up north to the 35/29 split was something like $250M. Maybe I'm completely misremembering. But $25M sounds awfully affordable.

Should we tear the Plaza down and just start over?

Maybe ditch the Spanish motif and go with something Harry Potter themed?

Only if it has a castle with a dragon on it

I think it's safe to say we'd be the first metro to replace a Capital Grille with a Medieval Times.

I like it. A longer route in terrible weather could be problematic for parade participants, but it sure would probably be easier for attendees to actually see something. And, on the off chance the weather is good, a TON of people will show up for it. Now go outside, turn around three times and spit....

If Houston didn't attempt the fake punt that turned into Chiefs' first touchdown they probably would've controlled rest of game. Odd call. It's a debatable call, but they're giving us the ball back either way. Yeah, the short field helped, but it's not like their defense was really shutting us down...

If they didn't figure out it's going to be closed long before now I don't know what to say. Thanks for calling my family stupid for no reason. You must be a blast at parties. That you immediately assumed that was what i was saying you might just be validating a point I didn't make. What was your po...

My cousin from NYC is going to be devastated. My Mom lives a block from there and she loves coming in every spring and having an entire Macy's to herself.

IMO, it's harder driving south on Brookside Rd and then trying to turn left onto Gregory - the light on Wornall makes it difficult. The left onto Meyer isn't all that bad IMO.

I hate that the north loop location is still getting brought up Probably because of Commerce Bank's influence on the Downtown Council, who's leading the discussion to keep it out of city hall. @lastgent I don’t think the public will get much say on location or design if they are to achieve their go...

Just under 4 years. Think how long it would have taken if they had wanted a liquor license?

We've been to Brewer's Kitchen twice in the past few months and it's been a stellar experience both times. Though the food/menu is pretty limited/basic, salads/burgers/apps, everything is done with top notch, fresh ingredients and is quite tasty. Great selection of local beers and the the cocktails...

Collison's new year review and potential things coming this decade... https://cityscenekc.com/greater-downtown-enters-new-year-ready-for-workers/ Developers are expected continue to pursue a possible City Target in 2020, and there is a solid rumor that Dollar General plans to open a DGX, its new ci...

On the bright side, Jack in the Box is back since this thread started 11 years ago.

Hadn't really heard too much about a SW Boulevard site - although I'm sure it was referenced somewhere in the past 550 pages. Interesting idea. Would love for something to be done with that area. There was a ballpark at SW Boulevard/Summit back in the late 19th century. I'm sure that fact will comfo...
