A clean Bathroom in Kansas City?



Wasn't that the reason KC lost so much first rate trade show business since the Bartle and Convention Center fiasco years back? Bathrooms with litter and tp all over the floor and plugged up toilets?

Be enough to ruin my appetite.

Westport during the 80's was nice.

To bad it's been all downhill since the 90's

Tastes change I guess.

Is there much profit in the frat house scam?  Seems like maybe just the regular profit so I'm not sure its a scam. It's a scam if they are using the technique to flip properties as fast as possible for a profit with no regard for the neighborhoods character or the stakeholders investment. They don'...

You'll know it if a couple guys who look like John Belushi move in next door.

It takes a hell of a lot longer to get out of a mess then it does to get into one.

What's a "frat house scam"? :shock: Picking up  inexpensive properties in quiet neighborhoods of serious, considerate working people who have to go to bed early and get up early and rent it to a bunch of loud out of control Frat Boy Animals who make idiots out of themselves 24/7 and could...

What happened to friendly weather, cheap gas, and subdued enemies?

KCR I'm not complaining about Real Estate Co's in general also. In our section of town the vast majority have done a very good job getting good people into homes. It's the sharks, amateurs, and hustlers that piss me off. All it takes is one freaking  "Frat House Scam" to completely destroy...

There is no free lunch.  Our neighborhood was pretty pissed off at the tax increase and there was a large show of force. Perhaps thats why the adjusters we're so "tame". I know what you mean about paying up Big Time while a house two doors down is taking a free ride on your efforts, invest...

Ordinance Churchs/Schools in Brookside Passed - now in effect Changes: Section 10-212 Section 10-212 defines the distances between retail liquor establishments and churchs/schools. Under the proposed change to this section, the Brookside area (inside an area bounded by 62nd Street, Main, Meyer and ...

can you say the address so I can drive by and see ?  It'll bring back memories of when our neighborhood went out once a week to do crime watch. LOL paint. Sorry. Maybe some other time. I don't want to get shot. Or beat to a pulp with a baseball bat.  I am impressed with the spine you and your neigh...

I would hesitate to protest increased taxes...don't draw unnecessary attention to yourself!  When I purchased my home in Pendleton Heights 5years ago my taxes increased 300% the first year! I protested and they told me to "forget about it" because they are not changing a thing. They told ...

Thats the idea apparently.

Hee Hee. 
 

There has been LOTS of coverage of the various customs, smart port, NAFTA highway, etc. items in the local media.  The Star has done several big pieces and some special reports on the topic.  But so far not a lot of coverage on this very new scandal. Yeah there's always some scoundrels lurking arou...

What is the property address ?

I'd rather not publish that information.

Thanks for your concern though.

Here’s where the Houston Chronicle story touches on some truth – albeit from a very one-sided point of view -- again, a vantage point that only...

You'll be going to the Independence offices. Unless they've changed it recently. Probably best to call downtown first.

Oh it's called Smart Port. How did I miss this?
