That was the second or third fire in the last month, I think.

For anyone interested, here is an open-jaw flight I've been tracking on Google Flights:

They are.

I have not been yet, but I just had a recommendation from a guy of Filipino background for Manila Bay Ihaw Ihaw across from the Home Depot. I'm not big on buffets, but I don't think you have to get food from the buffet. It is the only Filipino restaurant I know of in the city. I may try to get takeo...

State fluidity would be a huge problem for the US. Majority political vote-getters and parties in any state could gerrymander state divisions to increase the senate representation for their party, which would be a race to segment the country unnaturally (which is essentially what is being proposed i...

I heard today that the Chamber of Commerce is looking at an "AI Superhighway" as part of their transit initiative. Anyone else here something about this? It sounds awesome but I don't know what it means. If you blockchain the data lakes and cryptomine the ELK stacks, you can use the cloud...

I'm a fan of any trend that moves away from all-white cabinets/kitchens. People will be so mad they did that in 5 years.

This now makes more sense. My wife and I jogged past this "haunted house" so many times wondering what would happen to it. We saw the inside during the estate sale and assumed whoever bought it was a multi-millionaire given the cost required for minimum level renovation. It looks like a bi...

I miss the veggie burger at Chefburger. It was the only one I'd consider ordering, and I probably got it more than regular burgers there. As for PB, it has been rudderless for a while, surviving with zero marketing/promotion/modification to the menu as one of the only pizza joints of its kind in the...

From one of the most amazing, ambitious, and exciting plans on paper for the KC theme park, to this. The whole story would make a fascinating documentary.

To me, the answer is somewhere in between. Completely freezing property taxes doesn't account for what would have happened to taxes in the neighborhood had it not been gentrified, and comparisons are very challenging to find (since comparable neighborhoods are likely in similar states of gentrificat...

I have enjoyed it. But sure, there are better tacos many places. I was just there once, and at least one of my tacos tasted like they forgot to put the lid on the salt shaker. Another was so dried out, it was like they left it under a heat lamp for a few hours. I'm willing to give it another shot, ...

Mediocre is kind based on my only experience at the one in the Crossroads. How can you mess up tacos? Even bad ones should be decent, but not my experience.

One tourist warning. The Chinese now have a middle class equal to the entire population of the US. And they all seemed to be in Italy. Engaged singly or as a family group they are lovely. But en masse, they are like an implacable tsunami. The Japanese had to invent a word for it. https://www.telegr...

It seems so...

Attended the VIP event Saturday night and loved it. Decor is great, layout is spacious and they didn’t try and cram a table and chairs into every single spot. Plenty of room to move around. Food was excellent and all the drinks I tried were perfect. This place is going to do so well. Great news! A ...

Ha. Initial rendering in post 2 of this thread vs. the recent photo. Yikes! Cooler modern college campus-like building with a cross on it vs. 1990s Ultra-Suburbo Police HQ.

That is embarrassing. Yep. All sorts of angry white men are popping out of the woodwork talking smack on him being a detriment to the team, but based on the only metrics I have actual knowledge of (money and on-field play), he was one of the two or three best players on the team. If you can only ge...

Of note, the delicious Boulevard Mexican-Style Lager that was in the tasting room for a while will be released for real and will be called "¡Vamos!" It is really surprisingly enjoyable for a simple beer. I can't wait for this one, and they are tying it to the Royals, which is a nice touch ...
