Re: We are wasting so much time, money and effort on yet another bistate plan...

I'm with you Chingon, Missouri side transit plans should focus on Missouri, If Kansas wants to connect then charge them BIG. If KCMO had taken this attitude 90 years ago then we would have greatly retarded the JOCO sprawl.

They certainly aren't going to go out of their way to try an help us out.

Re: OFFICIAL: Power & Light District

Lets do an 810Zone but let me design it this time. I've got a list of improvements I'd like to make after doing Amerisports (Which I still think is better than any ESPN Zone or Damon's that I've been to).

They already are upset. Traffic is horrible, taxes are high, bunch of Mexicans are moving in, new high schools are gilded palaces.

Gawd.

Re: Is it just me, or does KC have a very nice skyline?

Holy Crap that is huge.

You can see all the KC Main St corridor highrises from some western parts of Raytown.

Looks nothing like that Chicago one, WOW.

Purely subjective observation. I don't see them around much. don't hear much buzz. Advertising has droped of (course I don't listen to radio or watch tv much anymore). The one store I drive by is never busy.

So I can't answer your question.

Re: Best/Worst Pizza?

I'm really supprised that the Papa Murphy's concept hasn't taken off. They build it, you bake it, nice and hot.

But then you would get all the 25 year old crusty's on the bottom like you get at Fun House.

Re: Stretch selling all his Xroads properties?

Sounds to me like Stretch is playing the "lower my taxes" state line game like everyone else. This is a problem that needs to be solved on a regional scale.

Re: What restaurants do you want in the P&L District?

Technically a Kansas City Strip and a New York strip are two diffrent cuts. They are both the strip loin cut but the New York usually has more fat trimmed off and ALWAYS should have the the fatty "tail" cut off the end. Ruth Crist and all the other "chain" steakhouses are as just...

Re: Is it just me, or does KC have a very nice skyline?

On I-35 just south of Armor on a clear night there is a spot where the loop skyline and the Crown Center Skyline all kind of mesh together and make on impressive sight. At night you really don't have the depth of field to tell that Crown center is that far away. Pretty cool!

Re: Christmas Eve + Plaza + New Camera

You still can't take a 2 second exposure with a monopod. A super light weight $15 tripod is still a better bet for long exposures. Is still a light and easy to carry around. And if you bust it, it's no big loss.

Re: Best/Worst Pizza?

Imo's is alive and well in the KC Metro. White Castles is not a St Louis franchise.  Imo's is down to two locations in KC from 6 five years ago when they made there big push into the area. I wouldn't call that thriving. I didn't say that White Castle was a St.Louis franchise, I just said that they...

From what I have seen in other developments like this, expect about a 1/3 to 1/2 of the businesses to be gone after the first year, and rapidly replaced by new ones. There are a lot unknown variable about the crowd that the PnL will attract and concepts, pricing and rents will have to go through a l...
