More competition is a good thing. I just hope AT&T is really serious - so far not so much http://gigaom.com/2014/04/21/hey-att-en ... gawashing/

Re: Johnson County Gateway

the difference is the voters were given a chance to vote for the streetcar. If I could play devil's advocate...would it be fair to say that driving through the interchange is a "vote" for the importance of the infrastructure? 230,000 drivers do so daily. So if you're going to compare fund...

I'm kind of pessimistic on this ever turning into anything. I predict a walmart-anchored strip center before it's all over.

Awesome! This is now the Landmark Lofts. I almost asked who we had to blame for the loss of this building when I saw the tense you used, before I realized what it was. I should have mentioned that, but couldn't remember the name of the lofts - even though I drive by it every day on my way home from...

Found a book called "Imperial Kansas City" which seems to be a promotion piece for conventions in the city at the time. Lots of photos in this thing. Should I share or is this something everyone's seen already? https://farm3.staticflickr.com/2918/13764361124_596b113226_z.jpg One of many fu...
