Re: Developer proposes twin condo towers on Grand (Wellington Place)

Actually, I rather like the look of this project.  It certainly is better than what is there right now which is nothing but asphalt.  I think it would look very nice from the north and I kind of like the elevated sky bridge.  It looks a lot better near the top of the building that it would at second...

Re: I quit!

Those are good suggestions but what can we do with forum members who insist on dominating every single thread, regardless of wether they have anything constructive to say.  Yea, at times, some discussions remind me of the literary equivalent of road rage.  You're essentially behind tinted glass w...

Re: Kansas City Redevelopment and Racial Segregation

2.  it's true that many in the "hood" (cough cough) live in $500/month rental houses while driving a $50,000 Escalade or Cadillac.  it's true that this is fiscally irresponsible.  however, this is the same no matter where you go.  white folks making $10/hour often put a ton of money i...

Re: I quit!

A lot of boards have OFF TOPIC rooms.  We had the DUMPSTER and THE BAR here and that tended to keep the idiocy out of more meaningful threads regrading the thing we are all ostensibly here for......KC Development.  I think that is a good way to segregate the informative threads and posts from the BS...

Re: NCAA BRACKETS!!!

Not me.   I love the fact that a team that beat Kay U got booted in the first round the following year.  Only thing better would have been for them to not get in the Tourney. If I do not have a lot of emotion riding on it, then I am almost always for the underdog.  If a 16 seed ever beats a one...

Re: NCAA BRACKETS!!!

Roy is not going to final four this year.....no chance to repeat.  UNC out.  Beat by George Mason.  I bet just about everybody's brackets are getting pretty busted. 

Damn, I was hoping Bucknell would take it to Memphis.

The tower proposed at 18th and Broadway is very similar to this project.
Just curious as I did not see it in the article, are they asking for TIF?

Re: Ski Slope in Edwardsville

Re: Moving to KC in 2007

Interesting replies I'm not working for or at Sprint.  We came down & looked around and liked the area near there.  I hate to burst any bubbles, but while we did like the plaza, downtown(city market is very nice), and the older neighborhoods, we sadly are confirmed suburbanites.  We prefer a...

Re: America is hated

How is it similar?  Do some studying by reading the writings of Hackworth, Mao Tse Tung, Ho Chi Minh, and Che Gueverra and it's easy to see that everything is pretty much going according to plan for the guerillas.  They are picking and choosing nearly every battle where and when they want to figh...

Re: How about those Jayhawks, the redux...

I think he will play with KU through his Junior year. His senior year I wouldn't be suprised if he goes to the NBA, unless of course he gets hurt his Junior year. If your goal is to play in the nba, why stick around once you're assured of that goal?  You risk injury, you risk having a bad year and ...

Re: How about those Jayhawks, the redux...

For those of us who still root for the Hawks despite the loss last night, a bit of good news.  There was a side bar in this morning's Star that quoted Brandon Rush as saying he would definitely be back next year. That could have been emotion talking but... He sure doesn't look ready for the pros a...

Re: Missouri State University, JQ Hammons to build new Arena

Missouri State was ROBBED! How did Air Force get in, but not the Bears?????? Hope they win the NIT. After seeing the success of the MVC in the tournament so far, I am inclined to agree with this sentiment.  The MVC was 6 teams deep this year (more than I can say for the Big XII)  and Missouri State...

It's appearing more and more that those up top, elected or otherwise, realize we've reached peak oil production.  Obtaining it in the future will be difficult if you don't live on top of it. This would be an excellent reason to put our foot in to Iraq.  But you can't just do that--"Because w...
