Re: Google picks KCK/KCMO for ultra fast fiber network

Couple of tidbits for Google Fiber TV subscribers: You can now go to http://www.zap2it.com TV listings and select your zip code and then see Google Fiber TV listings for all channels. This is also helpful for anyone who might use Slingbox with Google Fiber TV. I don't think all of this has been anno...

Re: River Market West

Does anyone know what's going on with Bridgeworks? Looks like they ripped off the stucco or whatever the facade is (again?) and are re-wrapping with Tyvec? Hope they get this one right. Water damage. Looks like they took off the entire balconies in many cases. Wow! Photo of Bridgeworks, NOT RM West...

Re: Urban Living Pet Peeves

To stay urban, you need an above normal pet-peeve tolerance that few people have. Possibly true, but the same could be said for the opposite scenario. As a person who has lived in rural during youth, and then suburban during much of adulthood, and finally now urban I can say it takes a lot of toler...

Apartment dumpsters left open & exposed so that trash blows freely throughout the neighborhood/s. Made worse by dumpster divers looking for metals or other fun stuff.

Seems like the big 12 just needs to drop wrestling along with football and focus on what they do well.

The city used a set of cranes to add this giant American flag over the broadway bridge for a few hours yesterday as the committee crossed over from the downtown airport to downtown.

Re: Washington Sq Park between Crown Center/Union Station

I love this plan - would be great to get rid of the surface lot and the awkward road (OK Street?) dividing the area. Make it so.
I assume the plan would keep the link to Union Station?

Re: 1 Thing that is happening (aka Rock and Brews to OP)

So it's like Hard Rock Cafe Lite. Not going to do well for very long in my opinion. And I don't think it would do all that well in P&L either.

Market 3 is a huge benefit to the River Market. The deli & salad bar has continued to get better & better at reasonable prices. The food/dry goods selection is limited, but meant to be a convenience-type selection for that item you just need at a moments notice or just don't want to walk/dri...
