Re: OFFICIAL - Loews Convention Hotel (formerly Hyatt)

Truman is closed from Broadway to Baltimore. Not sure if it’s just a coincidence, or if they plan on having that stretch closed for the duration of construction.

Re: OFFICIAL - Corrigan Building

With the larger building fully leased so quickly, you’d think they’d be interested in adding more space.

Re: Phase 2 streetcar to UMKC

Haha oh wow lololol I haven't heard THAT comparison before. Do you also think the streetcar is a BOONDOGGLE? Is it a TOY TRAIN? I you should pay yourself on the back for such staggering originality. Sheesh, I thought it was funny and hadn't seen anyone post it before. I'm very pro-streetcar, live d...

Re: KCMO Downtown Streetcar

In the past I have found that simply looking down main st. for the closest streetcar was much more accurate than the time estimates given. Hopefully this addresses some of that.
