Just had another poor experience at KCI. What a fricking embarrassment to the city, the new airport cannot be finished too soon. When leaving KC, we went to the airport early due to bad weather (rain and snow) and unwisely went through security early to the Alaskan Airlines gate. Restrooms and abso...

Have Kander or Sly shown any favorites or hinted toward an endorsement?

Sly will endorse Justus.

Maybe

I love historic properties, character and quirks. However, the floorplans may be inefficient for the modern buyer, as well as inefficient to he...

It’s not even like there was a significant uproar against the incentives. We were on the brink of some transformative developments 14 years in the making. Now Cordish is going big in STL while 3-4 Light, the hotel, etc have been killed or put on the very far back burner. Yep. There's no denying tha...

That article states that One and Two light are only around 80% occupied and some of other new properties are pretty low. This could be a main reason for Three Light taking so long to get off the ground. Three Light hasn't gotten off the ground yet because of the idiocy that the city council pulled ...

Didn't Burns & McDonnell offer up a nice, new airport solution to the city well before the voter referendum and heavily criticized bidding process began? Did we just burn that bridge for a wishful (promise) lie that we could get an airport sooner, and for cheaper if we went with ______ company? You...

I thought this was supposed to be done by 2020?

Officiall canceled not because it was a bad idea, didn't get enough incentives.

Nothing worth building HAS to have incentives.

Nothing more than a cheap attempt to make some money. Drury needs far better planning and coordination than that if they want to survive..

Except brgr burgers are below average at best

Kind of like Shake Shack...

Shake Shack is slated for a September 6th opening. Old Navy in the former Gap space sometime this fall. I carried out from Shake Shack lasts week. The line was a little bit out the door, but I was in and out in under 30 minutes. I thought the burger was pretty good. By itself, it was reasonably pri...

Seating, airport gates, and a roof: pick two. People want wider concourses and more retail People want more seating with modern amenities like power everywhere and work spaces People want crazy fancy architecture People want to spend as little as possible People want a fancy fountain People don’t w...

The original KCI ended up looking exactly what they went to voters with.

It's not 1972 anymore... Today's companies care about landing big contracts and large profit margins first and foremost.

Almost impossible to tell from these poor initial renderings, but where is the awesome scallop-roof design from the preliminary images? I loved that element, and if we get a generic flat box I'll be very disappointed. I understand perhaps losing the two-story indoor fountain, but first impression i...

On this month's TIF agenda is a proposal to demolish the Board of Education building at 12th & McGee and replace it with a 242-room Drury Plaza Hotel. Includes 5,000 sqft of meeting space and 176 space garage. See page 7 of the agenda . KCDowntown My Reaction: LOL Go find your local suburban 4 stor...

Someone was telling me a couple of weeks ago that Duck Boats in particular have a very bad track record. This is not true. At least not for the Branson ones. They have a pretty spotless record. The problem with a duck boat is that it has a canopy and rides low in the water. If it becomes submerged ...

20 lines is a nice deal! Any backups will not be for lack of capability, so I hope they keep them staffed to keep the average wait down. I arrived around 20 minutes before boarding for my Southwest flight a few weeks ago with an A boarding pass and just jumped into line in the middle of the B board...
