Or the laziness of them to not want to accommodate pedestrians

Hospice if you will

I’m suddenly incredibly concerned about any BBQ place near a morgue now

SeaWorld's offer to buy WOF's parent was rejected https://www.bizjournals.com/kansascity/news/2022/02/16/worlds-of-fun-owner-rejects-seaworld-offer.html Even with Cedar fair treating WOF as the red head stepchild of their park lineup, I have a feeling we dodged a major bullet there. Sea World likel...

https://www.texasmonthly.com/bbq/kansas-city-needs-bbq-renaissance/ Anyone see this article? I'm gonna be honest, I've never given a rats ass about the BBQ culture thing here. I also can't stand that people try to make that like KC's "thing" when there's so many greater things here than a...

I think people outside our sphere view KC as booming. When I was at the Denver airport last weekend eating lunch, the server noted I was from KC and asked "isn't that place growing alot?" and that he'd been looking at moving there. So yes, I can back up that claim as well. I think people ...

Great pics! Thanks for the update

The city is too small with limited airline connections Flights are a result of hosting, not a prerequisite. Airlines will be MORE than happy to expand existing service, and begin non-existing service for an event of the caliber. Look at any playoff game recently, and that’s during the still in plac...

A surface lot owner did exactly that: Threatened to sue the city for the original assessment rate on private paid surface lots. Mayor James backed down (not only to that, but the commercial assessment rate too), resulting in a gap that was eventually filled by a $2 million contribution from the Pub...

Once all the glass is installed, is the building considered "closed-in" (I can't remember the correct term off-hand) for the purposes of weatherproofing and installing HVAC? already considered closed in for the most part Yeah, the mock up areas were finished about a month ago, so they’ve ...

Once all the glass is installed, is the building considered "closed-in" (I can't remember the correct term off-hand) for the purposes of weatherproofing and installing HVAC? I think that’s the case. It seems they’ve already got pieces overlapping each other in regards to instillation of m...

Relevant I think; https://kcrag.com/viewtopic.php?t=21207 Would it be possible to just tax surface lots into nonexistance? As far as I understand it, from looking at this forum and elsewhere, the main reason surface lots in US cities stay empty is that there's just no economic reason to develop the...

Window instillation nearing completion. 2,200 panes installed, with just over 100 left to go.

StL has almost a million more people than KC. They will remain a higher ranked city for some time. The metro area trends between KC and STL paint a different picture. STL experienced a decline for their MSA by .05% in ‘19, and didn’t break above .25% for population increases in any of the following...

IMO, I consider them part of the metro. They are on the fringe but from a practicality standpoint they are within the Metro. I mean if the Metro extends out to Bonner Springs & Tonganoxie I think Lawrence is doable. It's only like 25miles to Lawrence from DeSoto. I would love to include it more...

It’ll surpass 2019, but it might not be this year. Maybe 23 or 24.

Ridership is starting to look a bit better. Still not where it needs to be, but trending in the right direction absolutely.

I’m intrigued

Yes
