Re: 1822 Main Redevlopment

Unattractive building, but 2 more floors and 29 additional units on the streetcar line is a plus. Too bad the developer cannot see the goodwill they could gain by saving that small bank facade

Re: Oak Tower

Do I see red lighting or is that just a reflection from City Hall?

Re: Downtown Baseball Stadium

The Oak corridor could be argued to be the chief north south street of the city as it extends from north of the river and then south via Oak, Gillham, Rockhill, Holmes all the way to Loch Lloyd. Then needlessly drop a wall onto it?

Re: Downtown Baseball Stadium

No high rise in between stadium and AT&T shown. Why a ped bridge over a park?

Re: Downtown Baseball Stadium

Where is Oak going? Under the complex? The view is centered directly on AT&T.

Re: GO CHIEFS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

A Superbowl victory parade is the closest thing in the modern world to an ancient Roman triumphal parade. Then the victorious heroes marched into the city down the Via Sacra, around the imperial basilicas to the base of the Capitoline hill that was capped with temples above. Along the way they displ...

Re: GO CHIEFS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The "KANSAS CITY" signs put up on the US port cocheres for the NFL draft are back up. Wonder what else from the draft will be recycled for the victory celebration on V day.

Re: OFFICIAL - Buck O'Neil Bridge

Road deck has been removed from the north arch of old bridge. Superstructure should be coming down soon. Still no takers to recycle? Probably will get melted down.

Re: OFFICIAL: Proposed KCK Casino

According to Fox 4 Hollywood Casino has missed the deadline for building an adjacent hotel for tenth year in a row. Each year they have to pay a fine of 1% of their revenue.

Re: New Chiefs Stadium

Many of the newer football stadiums seem to have one side of the stands mostly a 5,6,7 story wall of private enclosed boxes. Just wondering how they will achieve this at Arrowhead, Would seem it would take a lot of the overall capacity out.

Don't think we should hagiographize differing opinons as good guy or demonize others as bad guys. I think most here are good guys, gals, or whatever is the gender neutral equivalent.

Re: Is the Streetcar Extension bringing new development as promised?

The construction has not been and will not be block by block. The rails were put in between major intersections first, and now they are going back from the north putting the rails in crossing the intersections, seemingly prolonging the mess. I feel that there will be much more new development once t...

Re: OFFICIAL - Buck O'Neil Bridge

Maybe in a state with a backlog of poor or failing bridges even getting 1 plain major bridge and several more small bridges is more important than 1 major that is more interesting.

On Saturday the Lions did an impressive drone light show over DT Detroit(even though it was an away game). Wish the Chiefs could do something like that.
