https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/53582739315_96257a80e6_h.jpg Are they completing it, or is it being entombed in shrinkwrap like the wonderland? It looks like it's advanced quite a bit relative to the time I saw it last a few weeks ago - and I was writing it off as dead then so maybe there is ho...

Crossroads will never be gaslamp no matter a baseball stadium. The problem with crossroads is it's too spread thin and no focus of activity. 18th and oak is the only real example of a focus of activity. Another reason why I think the East Crossroads location is ultimately the best. It replaces a co...

Good god, the freaking quote of the century. This should be plastered everywhere because I feel like I'm the only one that sees this. And every time I say it, I'm just some out of town asshole. Who has ever said that? We all know this area isn't some hub of ped activity? Not just ped activity, but ...

Why would they go out business? They will thrive. They are just the kind of businesses that would benefit from a nearby baseball stadium. The stadium has 80 or so open days per year. It won't drive wholesale changes to the area. their rent skyrockets. This is such a misconception. Landlords can’t r...

Also anecdotal, it’s 3:30 on a Sunday and Casual Animal is full but not feeling busy. Every seat has a butt but no line at the bar. I should add I don’t think this is a comicon or basketball oriented crowd. My concern: it’s not the stadium footprint itself. I think losing Oak would be a mistake but...

Is the housing approved? I could not read the article Fang posted. I would hope in the very least Barney Allis Plaza gets replaced.

I mean I don't know grovesters intent but that post doesn't say anyone was threatened BECAUSE she is a woman but two people immediately went there. Seems telling. The tell for me was when they gave her a nickname. One of her replies on City Scene: Why is it that every single one of these ‘yes’ douc...

I understand what you and the others who want to "make the market work better" are saying. What I'm saying is that the market is not going to provide housing that does not generate profits. The market doesn't exist to ensure that a thing gets allocated to everybody. Low-income tenants sus...

So the property is in receivership. Willow bridge dropped out, city club is gone. The new management is yarco company. I have a few more details, but it includes too much personal stuff to screenshot. If I know you and you you want more information, feel free to contact me. Told they're actively lo...

In the gym just now and KCTV5 is on one of the tvs and they are running this big hack piece on the stadium moves big impact on Independence. All the wrong things get focused on by people here. What impact would that be? hotels? and restaurants near hotels? I guess if you are only coming for a game ...

Mission is definitely seeing a bit of a revival which is great because it has backslid a little since I lived in that area in the 80's. So what is the status of the Mission Gateway part of downtown Mission. That corner of Mission remains kind of a festering sore. While at it, I wish the city would ...

In the gym just now and KCTV5 is on one of the tvs and they are running this big hack piece on the stadium moves big impact on Independence. All the wrong things get focused on by people here. What impact would that be? I am wondering because in my experience, people drive to the stadium, see the g...

2024 Economic Forecast from MARC. https://www.marc.org/document/2024-economic-forecast-board-presentation "Small Arms Ammunition Manufacturing" I had no idea. If I saw that list of largest exporting industries (slide 9) and was asked to guess the city, KC would not have been in my top 10 ...

Quite a bit exciting stuff happening in the area this year! I've tried keep latest developments updated on OpenStreetMap, and made an interactive map from that: NE Johnson County Interactive Construction Map Mission is definitely seeing a bit of a revival which is great because it has backslid a li...

One of the best campaigns we ever did was sprint center. It was paid for with a hotel and rental car tax. Enterprise, based in stl, came out hard against it. Just went hard core anti-stl and it was super effective. 😂 you’ll still find people that won’t rent from them based on that campaign 😂 The pe...

Royals will end up downtown no matter this vote. I'd place a large amount of money on it I agree and I would encourage anyone to vote no this time around because it will result in a better deal. If I'm wrong and the Royals end up playing Clay County or Nashville in a few years I won't lose a wink o...

And why can't the county/city step up and stay they plan to clean up the area as much as they can? Install landscaping and sidewalks and crosswalks along Blue Ridge. Mention that the city/county plan do everything they can to stop the cancerous blight from getting worse in the area. There has to be...

How many here would rather see the Chiefs build a new stadium in Kansas than renovate Arrowhead? I'm not totally sure I would support it, but I really do think I would entertain the idea now. I'm just not impressed with the Hunts plans for Arrowhead. I think the Royals are the more likely franchise...
