Re: Demolition at 43rd and Main?

I saw on here a couple of weeks ago that Capital Federal bank is building a large branch on that corner. Perhaps it will take up the land of that building as well. That's a good development for Main Street.

Re: 2012 Election

The economy isn't bad because the government is eliminating jobs. It's bad because people have decided it is in their best interest to save and cut their amount of debt. This is a good thing in the long run when confidence returns and people start spending this accumulated money. There will be a poi...

Re: GO ROYALS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Meh, we leave a shit ton of runners in scoring position because we can't put the ball in play. The infamous Alex Gordon called third strike looking syndrome must be contagious.

Re: GO ROYALS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

His walk numbers seem rather low compared to his strikeouts. I'm a little worried that he will get the majors and struggle because of plate discipline. Sure, his power numbers are good but those could also be inflated because of playing in Omaha. Lastly, I'm not sure that Dyson is the one that gets ...

Re: GO ROYALS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Jeff Francis just gained his release from the Reds. I think he might be a good, cheap pickup. He's only 31 and still has some upside. He also pitched fairly well for us but never received any run support last year.

Re: Historic Preservation in the Urban Core

Kemper Arena needs to be kicked in the balls. It should have been torn down when the roof caved in instead of building that contraption over the top and then doubling down on a turd when they added the side addition for extra seating and concourse area. It is the single biggest reason we lost hockey...

Re: GO ROYALS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'll say they gain 5 games, 16-11. They seem to be playing better and the schedule does get easier. Even the Cardinals are starting to fall apart so we might be catching them at the right time.

Re: GO ROYALS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hosmer is a boat anchor for this team. As much as I hate to say it, I think it's time to send him down. Three strikeouts today. Let him regroup after hitting in AAA and bring him back in a month. Perhaps, it slso says to this team, "We are expecting to compete right now.".

Re: Alamo Drafthouse Cinema coming to KC

I would guess that AMC is using the additional funds generated by their sale to expand in the market and purchase Alamo. Perhaps Mainstreet will be part of the first rebranding of all theaters or just the theater/restaurant combos will carry the Alamo name.

Re: 2012 Election

In the states that matter, Obama is up against Romney in Florida, Virginia, and Ohio . Someone explain the polls to me because your article said Romney was behind in Florida and this one says he is up by 7 points. Is polling just a scam? http://www.cbsnews.com/8301-503544_162-57440321-503544/romney...

So, why would you expect residents in midtown to want these projects or, at least, not just accept the project with open arms at its first announcement?

Re: 911 Linwood Redevelopment as Senior Housing

That was an argument that a couple people made: "I paid market rate for my home, so why can't these apartments be market rate. I didn't get any subsidies" Good God. This argument is appalling. There's a reason people get subsidies for housing, and if you don't qualify for them you should ...
