Re: OFFICIAL - New KCI Terminal

After seeing that video on Twitter I have to wonder if there's more to the removal process than was shown? Is it just me or does dour cuts with a tile saw, four drill holes and pulling out the medallion not seem as difficult a process as it was made out to be? Maybe a lot of the medallions broke or ...

Re: Plaza move-ins (ongoing)

Unfortunately, security in the US is often staffed by out of shape people with hip problems, asthma or some other chronic condition that limits their physical movement. And then one of the youth's parents would sue because someone touched their kid in an attempt to break something up.

Re: Rail to KCI - 2023

I studied in Besancon in the 90s and they had an incredible BRT system that was supposedly one of the most robust in the country. Even 30+ years ago it was incredibly efficient and completely changed my outlook on public transportation. Outside of downtown most stops had dedicated loading/unloading ...

I signed up for ticket updates via email a while back...I would've thought the marketers would have sent an email blast about this to generate some excitement. Missed opportunity for their 'range of activations' push.

Please no western old timey theme. Perhaps if there is some local involvement in the branding we can avoid being the Cracker Barrel of the soccer world.

Halls is in even worse shape than Dillard's, and continues to have zero online presence. If they were to close their Crown Center location (which I doubt they'll do since Hallmark traffic is still such a huge driver of traffic and sales) for a Plaza location and figure out online sales then it might...

I eat at a couple of the Meddy's in Wichita every few weeks and really like it. The food is a bit more Lebanese/Mediterranean than Jerusalem or Aladdin and fresh, sort of fast casual. But what I like most of all is their locations incorporate patio dining and sometimes local music. I think they only...

It does look cleaner, but I kinda miss the pink of the Sheraton Suites...it tied in a *little* better to a modern Spanish-y feel.
