Re: Midtown Area Apartment Boom
Not trying to be confrontational, but a few comments on here that while this is a good project for the site, it lacks excitement. I'm pretty happy with the design, materials and particularly the scale from the townhomes along Penn to the five story building. Curious as to what WOULD be exciting and ...

Re: General Amtrak Discussion
Hopefully they figure out how to connect the Heartland Flyer and Southwest Chief since the arrival in Newton (KS) to/from KC is between 2-3am each way. Not a great location to be stuck waiting on a connection for a couple of hours in the middle of the night.

Re: KU/KCK <-----> TSC East/West Transit
Thoughts on running WB streetcar down Westport Rd and EB on 39th back to Broadway? Would mean only one lane of tracks down each street instead of two.

Re: KU/KCK <-----> TSC East/West Transit
I have questions. This is terminating at Van Brunt? Not continuing on to Arrowhead and Rock Island Trail? A Linwood routing will add another stop for the Main Street extension, slowing that route? I don't understand why they don't go with 31st. No additional stops added to Main E 31st west of Troos...

Re: Downtown office vacancy
As a numbers guy, I find the data less than desirable. They moved from two data sources to one. And that data source is mobile device usage that includes anyone that is driving through downtown on the freeway. What does the data say about someone going taking the shuttle to the airport and doing som...

Re: Downtown office vacancy
What's laughable is that the key metric used to determine recovery is electronic device usage.

Re: Texas Rangers World Series Parade
Arlington and Tarrant county funded a lot of the stadium(s) - if parades are held there, they deserve it. Probably gonna be a clusterfuck if they haven't finished construction on the nearby interchange/exit ramps, though. How is the area handling transportation to AT&T for the World Cup given th...

Re: Burger King - Midtown Sites
I read where corporate is requiring upgrades to all BKs that aren't 'new,' similar to what McD's and Wendy's have gone through over the past 4-5 years. I would imagine that the Midtown, Troost and Wornall sites would've been almost cheaper to tear down and start over they were so bad. Maybe the fran...

Re: Crown Center: urban disaster, shining star, or in-between
Crown Center got hit hard by the pandemic and is finally starting to get some momentum so maybe there's still hope. Hallmark is consolidating all of the business on the upper floors of the main McGee building, so the old original building that fronts Grand will be empty soon - will be interesting to...

Re: T-Mobile Center (formerly Sprint Center)
What was the big announcement yesterday? All I saw was that there would be a 20 game conference schedule for men's bball (yawn). The extension of the contract with T-Mobile until 2031 is still unfinalized. Side note: the women's bball conference tourney games will be moving to T-Mobile from Municpal...

LOVE Meshuggah!! But if they have non-bagel, non-carb breakfast options then they need to get the word out. There's not even a bagel with egg option.Cratedigger wrote: ↑Tue Oct 17, 2023 6:43 am If you’re going to Cosentinos for breakfast when Meshuggah is right there, then you only have yourself to blame

Re: Westport
I don't have an issue with a sales tax CID but .75% seems kinda steep. And why aren't the City Place apartments, Hotel Westport and and Westport Flea Market included? Add in those businesses and reduce the sales tax amount a bit.

Re: Capping the Loop
I feel like with so many images/renderings showing the bandstand, which is situated over Walnut, there is already an assumption by the developers that Walnut will be closed. If not, it seems like there would need to be some redesign to keep that as part of the plan. There's a lot to like with the de...

Re: Westport
Former Google Fiber/Scot Fitness/Berbiglia building at State Line and 43rd (Westport Rd) scheduled to be torn down and replaced with a Chipotle. Rumor around the neighborhood is the Chipotle on 39th will remain.
