Re: Macy's Closing Lee's Summit
BTW, metro north will be next. It was on the same leaked list last year as Independence Center, Lee’s Summit, and the Colorado locations that just made the list. Closing Metro North would be horrible geographically as they’d be left with 2 stores close together in JoCo. BTW, metro north will be nex...

Re: Plaza move-ins (ongoing)
My guess is they are still proceeding with the Nordstrom construction. The Nordstrom website still lists this as happening in 2023 and there doesn't seem to be signs that they are backing out. I noticed it's not scheduled to open until late in 2023. What has been proposed is a substantial building;...

Re: Plaza move-ins (ongoing)
The problem with putting buildings and restaurants along Brush Creek is that it's hard to control runoff from the watershed during these "bomb cyclone" deluge-type rain events that have been developing more frequently because of climate change. Not to mention that the creek stinks when wa...

Re: Oak Park Mall
Maybe get a Grocery store or chain not in area. The area has already had several grocery chains and they have decided to focus on the 95th and Antioch area. Hyvee and Aldi are already down the street, HyVee has another store at 87th and Pflumm, Hen House has a store at College and Quivera, and ther...

I went to the mall today for coffee (right now actually).The second floor parking deck entrance to the Nordstrom wing has safety barricades including one that’s blocking the handicap door button because of how badly it is deteriorating and the roof has sometime over the past several months fallen ou...

Re: Plaza move-ins (ongoing)
Amazing how much LV sells in Nashville. Also interesting is how much is bought by KC shoppers despite not having a physical store. I believe our numbers are from Halls, Nordstrom, and then it appears that all of our metro Dillard’s and Von Maur both carry refurbished LV items from time to time. I k...

Re: Lamp Post District - Mission, KS
That's good because I moved to Mission a few months ago and our parks range from almost non-existent grass squares to terrible. As it happens, I sit on the Parks, Recreation, and Trees commission (consists of citizens) and have at least a little bit of input as to how parks are maintained and impro...

Re: OFFICIAL - Aspiria (formerly Sprint Campus)
As much as I ignore this guy, this is a new one. What is his deal with Menards? Also, this is a terrible idea. It used to be Bloomingdales, Meijer, and Hastings. At least we're finally on chains that have a chance of opening locally, most of the time. This project leaves me a little disappointed. I...

Re: 2023 KCMO Election
Please be reminded that the earnings tax is up for renewal on April 6, 2021, and it will likely be a low-turnout election seeing that the only other issue on the ballot in most precincts of the City are school board posts. If you can/plan to vote by absentee ballot, by all means request your ballot...

Re: Oak Park Mall Update
Just giving you a hard time. :lol: While the people you’re talking about definitely exist still in JoCo, I’ve noticed there’s a lot less of it than there used to be when visiting family & friends there. Still way too much, but not like it was in the 90s or early 00s. Especially east of 35 &...

Re: Hawaiian Bros
I'm just worried that they're expanding too fast and will pull a Taco Grande/Taco Tico and become a big semi-national company with 600+ locations that then spectacularly explodes.

Re: Oak Park Mall Update
The downfall continues... The Disney Store will be closing "on or before March 23rd". This is part of their plan to close ~20% of their stores. They're also closing at malls far more successful like the St. Louis Galleria, Chandler Fashion Center, and Flatirons Crossing. I understand that...

Re: Schlitterbahn Waterpark and Resort
Downtown KCK is a sad mess. I went down there to explore earlier this week on one of the nicer afternoons and besides the Merc, there's nothing going on down there. The entire vibe is of despair and desperation, and it's not only because I was panhandled about once a block, especially around the pol...

Re: 95 Metcalf South update and former Sears
I'm no Chick-fil-a fan, but this will hopefully relieve some of the congestion at the one further up Metcalf where the line often stretches into rush our traffic, or blocks the entrance to Culvers and Target in the evenings.

Re: Crown Center: urban disaster, shining star, or in-between
On the topic of a target going into Crown Center. I still have hope we will get a smaller target downtown and not a full sized one that will attract the suburban folks. I think living close to a Target is cool but having one literally attached to your building may actually be a turn off for some? R...

Re: North Plaza Hotel- 46th and Broadway
With Holiday Inn gone, this is only a net add of 50 rooms. There are a lot of hotels that may never re-open. I kind of wonder if the crown center Sheraton will re-open. That building needs a major overall and rebranding anyway. Sort of a waste of a sizable tall building that used to be higher end. ...
