Re: Capping the Loop

But the suburban types want it to feel like their boring burb. They want the parking right out front, they want 8 lanes of traffic. We're not telling them to not come, we're telling them to get with the program.

Re: Sporting Kansas City

Watch the Current start to outdraw them... You know, I wouldn't be surprised if this didn't happen. That would be full blown disaster for MLS, seeing as that would mean 3k average less than the last place team in MLS for attendance. I'd put a below zero chance of that happening either, just be logi...

Re: Capping the Loop

We have to stop making investments that fit today’s needs and lifestyles and start designing them for the future that is coming and what will be needed/wanted. We as a society have nearly maxed out our physical commitments to automobiles. Particularly in downtown urban settings where commercial and...

Re: Sporting Kansas City

That has zero percent chance of happening, even as a temporary option for another downtown or downtown adjacent location. It's just one owner at this point raising a stink at even thinking of moving. He won't be around the organization for much longer at this point, always shocked he has been up til...

Re: FAA leaving the gov district for CBD

A greenspace above a tunnel is going to get so much more use than that waste of a park. I'd be open to ideas at this point, especially if/when ballpark is announced officially.

Re: Downtown Baseball Stadium

I had high hopes for John Sherman but he's got me missing "I'm going to cash out on the revenue sharing platform" Glass family because at least they told you straight up that you weren't getting what you want. They leave this for too long, even the Chiefs can't save them. This is crazy stu...

Re: West Bottoms Redevelopment

It's more criminal how little we've used the river since major cleaning projects started. I get on to people when they talk about how nasty the rivers are as if they can't remember how bad it was even 20 years ago.

Re: Capping the Loop

I'd much rather have this, that could change the way everyone looks at downtown, than what we have now. Sure, we need to make sure Cordish doesn't treat it like a private park & figure out some of the road kinks, but this would be a big gamechanger.

Re: Shoal Creek Valley Neighborhood Plan

A large parcel of land the Mormon Church owns in KCMO has been placed on the market. The 533 acres are bounded by I-435, N.E. Shoal Creek Parkway, and Highway 152. Another parcel sits northwest of I-435 and NE Soccer Drive. Addition parcels are bounded on the south by Highway 152 and on the north b...

Re: 50th & Rainbow Mixed-Use

Bringing more people into a rapidly aging sector of the county & all they can do is complain. Saw the headline before I saw the site & thought it was hilarious. I drive by here all the time & there isn't even foot traffic, it's all older residents that are stuck in their ways.

Re: Another KC's "best" BBQ Article

I can get actual championship BBQ in each cardinal direction that I'd wager is of higher quality than back in the 80s. Sorry, but we're living in the BBQ renaissance. True, you probably got more bang for your buck back then but the overall quality is incredibly good now.

Re: Downtown Baseball Stadium

Arrowhead on the other hand needs to stay put. The more I see journalists raving about the Vikings stadium in Minneapolis, the more I want the Chiefs to honestly look at the Paseo West land. I don't necessarily think they need a big dome like they have up north but the concept, location, idea of it...
