College is free in Europe! You only have to pay for your books and housing. Then again, most Europeans are smarter than the average American. :roll: The dark side of the free European college education is that you are given rigorous tests, basically your last year of high school in France is prepar...

http://bahua.com/htpics/ireland/ ^there are mine. Great Pics bahua. The southern coast and the Dingle Peninsula was our original goal but we just ran out of time and never made it there. The Irish road network is a wee bit slow. Ended up in Sligo, Galway and Dublin (as well as a fair amount of time...

I hate to admit it but I haven't figured out how to post pics yet. I have tons.

Life may be fine and even "prosperous" in KC without a car....for a single guy with no family. Add a family (let's say 2 kids) and it's hard to get by without two cars. Here in the UK, we managed to cut that down to one car and could probably live without it but that would not be all that ...

I spent some time downtown about a month ago for the first time in years and I like what I saw. The west side along Broadway is not only back but vibrant. I do wonder about one thing though; recently I read KC's office vacancy rates were among the highest in the US. One would think that the sheer vo...

Wow, someone from the UK is a member of the KC site. I knew we were important, but I never imagined that hearing about development in a medium sized city in the middle of a country that someone doesn't live in would be interesting. I'm not English.....actually from KC but haven't lived there in 20 ...

I am surprised there is not more excitement about this announcement on this board. Development will not prosper without quality growth in the local job market and here are 350-400 potential new jobs.....high paying professional jobs at that! These are positions that will bring money INTO KC rather t...

I had the pleasure of being able to visit Dublin Ireland a couple weeks but have hesistated writing a trip report as, being a European city, has little in common with KC and their probably isn't much interest...but here goes anyway. Living in the UK, it was a simple hop on the ferry to Belfast and a...

Drunk driving is wrong, very wrong, but so is stopping every single person to find out if they are drunk or not. Nearly every time they hold one of these fascist checkpoints the article the next day talks about several hundred to a few thousand vehicles stopped yet only a handful of drivers cited f...

We love Cedar Creek and generally drive by to gawk at the homes when we are back in town. What makes that place special is the topography, it's a rugged and beautiful setting. Another place I am partial to is the west side of Hallbrook Farms where the streets fall away into the Indian Creek valley. ...

I agree. It's kind of like robbing Peter to pay Paul. However, a move from surburban KC (Johnson County) although not as significant as from outside the area would be a positive development.

This week's Business Journal has several Downtown-related articles. Here is part of one concerning a move DT by a local law firm: Kutak Rock weighs change of venue: Plaza to Downtown Jim Davis Staff Writer Kutak Rock LLP officials are looking at coming Downtown from Valencia Place on the Country Clu...

I think, in this day and age, what kinds of perks a city can provide will have a big impact on the kinds of events and conferences we'll get. If, financially, another city can offer a better deal, we could be in trouble. ..... I agree with all this but I would like to think that KC's central locati...

Jeez, does every thread have to descend into profane acrimonious debate? Enough already.

Omaha is a more attractive city and the Qwest Center makes the Ford Center look like shit. Don't count us out. Again, in my heart of hearts, I wish AEG would pull the trump card and bring back the Big 12 tourney to KC permanently-- it's true home. Often imitated, never duplicated. So what are the c...
