Re: AMC coming to Empire, Midland to be restored...

Some of the problems in my opinion were that the movies were all the same as other locations this. and having excellent food options will help it succeed.

Re: AMC coming to Empire, Midland to be restored...

Is Cordish going to continue to be involved in the theater once Alamo takes over? Or will this be purely Alamos shingdig?

Re: We need a new airport!!!

Yea, no retrofitting going on here. They're talking about demo and rebuild one large terminal. It makes more sense to do this than build it way out in a field.

Re: 39th St./KU Med development?

The hotel across from KU Med is basically done (on the outside). Holiday Inn Express signs were up. Barricades now are surrounding the houses and former bar (Jayhawker) to the north. Looks like they are going to demo soon. I think office and retail will go there. Dirt is moving on the apartment comp...

Re: Kansas City to get 2012 MLB All-Star Game

I'd expect some sort of other economic development announcements in or around the all-star game to continue the "party" and try to play up KC's momentum.
