Does AT&T even use that monstrosity downtown for anything these days? Half of it has been boarded up on the lower floors for over a month and the building itself has never looked great. Town Pavillion was built for 100% ATT. Yes, I know, but they also have the older structure over behind T-Mobile t...

Terribly shortsighted. And, mediocre. Elaborate? Anytime you gloat about the removing and stripping away the only thing iconic you've got going... You're probably just screwing yourself over in the end. It is beyond ironic, and slightly moronic to hear them say "Improvements will ...include the rem...

TOWN PAVILION REIMAGINED The historic Town Pavilion building gets an art-focused upgrade. Improvements will drastically transform the building and include the removal of the iconic staircase and the addition of a concierge desk, as well as upgrading retail storefronts, installing video walls, creat...

And not to forget, upcoming in 2021... NY State vs. Trump for fraud charges.

unless it's a criminal case that it's really just a bunch of hot air that you shouldn't be paying any attention to.

I mean Trump literally bragged that he just forces himself on women and your response in this thread was that it's never been "proven" that he actually did it, so you'll excuse me if I'm not super convinced of your purported openmindedness in this area. Egotistical men often brag or say they’ve don...

What is the specific argument that justifies rural interests dominating policy in an urbanized country? A specific issue I could recognize is practically any firearm legislation. Most all legislation passed in an effort to restrict access to firearms comes from politicians coming from largely urban...

...there are overwhelming signs of majority support for Biden/Harris. And I do emphasize Harris, who brought a large number of supporters to the ticket. Where? I see no sort of "overwhelming sign of majority support" anywhere in the US or abroad. In fact, I barely see any actual, visible sign of su...

Considering that there's currently a pile of left wing extremists camping on the lawn at city hall, and chaining themselves to the Jackson County Courthouse doors (Forcing its closure) Oh no, not the courthouse! Won’t someone think of the courthouse!? Allowing lawlessness is NOT especially conducti...

Being disconnected from American society as a whole being abroad basically the entire presidency, how is the climate of the states in regard to vocal support for or against the President? Are people actively berated for being one side or the other? Does this happen often in public? The first questi...

With Georgia possibly going for Biden and less likely but possibly Texas and North Carolina looking stronger Biden and South Carolina losing GOP momentum (whaaaat?), MO is looking more and more hardcore right wing extremist as polls go. If Trump loses in a landslide and Biden gets the larger Southe...

CNN was 4% opinion content the same year.

I don't believe that for one second. Watch any random hour worth of CNN and you're likely getting 99% "Opinion" material... not 4%.

The fact that there's still people out there who believe that we can "stop" the spread of COVID and make it basically disappear is mind blowing.

Yeah, given that Trump done got himself COVID (as I predicted, just surprised it took this long) and is in a fairly high-risk category based on being an old fatass who snarfs more McDonald's cheeseburgers than a millennial posts pictures of avocado toast on instagram, and Biden is just Biden time u...

So as taxpayers we now have an ownership stake in Sherry DeJanes' fence.

I'm not sure I'm following..?

Ask tourists how they feel. I'll give you a hint: NOBODY wants to move to a boring, chlorine clean city with no character. Architecture exists to attract. The failure to use attractive architecture has GENERATIONAL effects. And yet Levittown attracted tons of people... Literally never heard of it.

I don't think they ever had full occupancy on the northern half of the center. Went through it in maybe May and it was like downtown in 2000, tons of empty space. That's what happens when you build an isolated, suburban shopping district in a field bounded by highway. Zona Rosa was set up for failu...

I like a pretty bridge as much as the next person, but what has the aesthetically pleasing Bond Bridge done to enhance downtown, the riverfront, or North Kansas City that a boring girder bridge wouldn't have also accomplished? To me, landmark bridges are like tall buildings in the skyline. They loo...

Wasn’t she the one who made incredibly callous comments when a bicyclist was killed last year? This is the quote you're thinking of: "...Unfortunately people die in this city every day and we just have to make sure that we’re keeping everything in perspective." Facts are facts. Hard to argue with t...

It’s ok to talk about how black men are 3 times more likely to be shot by a cop but don’t mention the fact they commit a disproportionate amount of the crime. The US is about 73% white, 13% black This is FBI data on arrests by race from 2017 https://ucr.fbi.gov/crime-in-the-u.s/2017/crime-in-the-u....
