The short version is "not agreeing with hiring decisions (and the rationale made for those decisions) made by ownership".
It's a deal-breaker for me due to knowing the employee involved, but what happened isn't something that rises to the level of me telling everyone else to stay away.

Re: KC Rag Meetup/Streetcar Extension walking tour?
I'd love to do this, but I'm out of town that weekend.
I agree that it's too long to do a loop, but as someone who lives very near the highest point on Main between downtown and the Plaza, I'd suggest starting somewhere near 31st and going south from there.

Re: Noka
We went to Noka for dinner a day or two after open and sat at the kitchen bar area - overall, I got vibes of "The Rieger, but vaguely Asian" from the place.
We enjoyed the food, but...we won't be back, for reasons unrelated to the menu or seating setup.

Re: OFFICIAL - Wallstreet Tower (formerly US Bank Tower)
FWIW, when we were looking to buy something a couple years ago, our realtor flat-out refused to show us any units in exactly two buildings - this one and Western Auto.

Re: Martini Corner near 31st/Gilham
There is a proposal to build 18 townhomes (slated to be rentals) on the vacant lots on Oak St, between 31st and Linwood. This was most recently the shipping container staging area. I noticed yesterday that these lots are being graded, so it looks like work is getting close to starting on these. Par...

Re: KCI Flight Schedule Adjustments
While I realize that adding one-off international flights takes quite a bit more planning than, say, throwing excess widebodies between here and Phoenix with < 2 weeks' notice, doing so for that game wouldn't be outside the realm of possibility if an airline *really* wanted to do so. If only there w...

Re: OFFICIAL - New KCI Terminal
I hadn't realized that Chase was partnering with "The Club" lounge ownership for their Sapphire-branded lounges; given Southwest's (and United's) card partnerships with Chase, I wouldn't be surprised if that's what winds up in the empty lounge shell.

But I'd also add I've never seen anywhere that a protected bike lane was added to wyandotte south of 31st, saw that for the first time today and it's not on Google maps bike map. Is there somebody from the city that informs Google to update that? I submitted an edit request on Google Maps to get th...

Re: KCMO Downtown Streetcar
That's correct. Assuming the plans I saw a couple months ago are still accurate, starting Monday, Main will closed SB all the way to Grand until May 7. Main will be NB-only from 27th to Pershing as well.

Re: NFL Draft
It's a little annoying that the NFL doesn't seem to care enough yet to put up an FAQ for this year's draft, but I'm guessing just about everything ticket-related from last year's FAQ is applicable for this year. If you have any interest at all in taking in the event, I'd say it's best to go ahead an...

Delta recently tightened up access to their lounges - other than having their own top-level credit card (or an Amex Platinum), you have to be a top-level elite or flying in Delta One on at least one leg of your journey.
