https://fox2now.com/news/missouri/gov-mike-parson-set-to-sign-i-70-expansion-bill-today/ ST. CHARLES COUNTY, Mo. – Drivers will soon see at least three lanes on Interstate 70 across the entire state of Missouri. The new legislation will expand I-70 across the entire state to at least three lanes. Go...

At least JetBlue gives you an excuse to stay overnight at the TWA Hotel and catch your flight the next morning. It's on my bucket list.

I don't think's he's gonna succeed if his goal is to turn OJC into the next BLV. He'll be lucky if he doesn't get drawn and quartered by suburbanites chaining each limb to their Lexus SUVs.

Ah yes, the famous addendum to the Communist Manifesto, Kelo v. City of New London

With regard to passenger pickup, where I live the arrivals area can be four lanes full and crazy. What we do is if our arriving passengers don't have checked bags, and in some cases even if they do, we pick them up on the departures level. It's either not very full or even if it is the cars move qu...

Flew through the new terminal for the first time this weekend. Obviously a HUGE improvement over the old terminals. Some nitpicks: I got a burger from the City Market Food Hall, and they were entirely out of pizza before noon on a Friday. They had one super ratty paper menu to read before ordering, ...

Unclear. Are there ex-politicos from other states on the board, and do those states get more service?

Alan Fisher did a good video about the RTD system in Denver and why poor land use planning around stations, specifically all the park-and-ride stations surrounded by asphalt, strangle the ability of trains there to actually get people to destinations. (Warning: Lots of snark, if that's the kind of t...

If ifs and buts were candy and nuts and TWA hadn't moved to St. Louis and eventually been destroyed by Carl Icahn then maybe we'd be a TWA hub, but we're not, so we have to work with what we have. And there are disadvantages to being a hub. When Delta had a hub in Cincinnati, it had some of the high...

Oh, so you're anti-social, is what you're saying. Why, I've met some of my closest friends while pooping!

UNEXPECTED UPDATE: What the former Farmers CEO said about permanent virtual work and selling off the real estate? Yeah, forget that. New CEO announced Wednesday night that almost all employees have to start going to the office three days per week starting September 1. Last year's financial results w...

I imagine we're still going to run into the limits of low staffing levels this summer, even with the new terminal. I would hazard a guess that accounts for many of the issues people are experiencing.

No, no, it's gaming, not gambling. Gambling sounds seedy and morally questionable, but everyone loves to play games!

My wife had good experience with Park-n-Go as well.

We went to a game while in town a few weeks ago and that area is looking like total shit. Adams Mark vacant and deteriorating, the few other hotels have been severely downgraded. Drury Inn is now some low end motel, I think Holliday Inn is something else now and that extended stay which basically c...

I realize the residency rule is the rule, but I'd be pretty pissed if I'd provided documentation to my employer that I lived at the city address where I said I lived, and then they hired a PI to follow me home. Do they do this kind of investigation on all city employees they suspect might be living ...

So how did we fare over Draft weekend? Did anyone get stuck waiting to get picked up in the arrivals area and miss the whole thing, or was it mostly smooth sailing?

Kansas City Council waived the requirements when it executed its contract with the developer. Two most common reasons this can happen for two reasons: scale of project and specialization. Which of those would apply here, though? The story feels pretty damning to me. It sounds like Meta didn't want ...

I agree we shouldn't widen freeways for the sake of added capacity, but I do think a lot of I-70 needs to be improved to modern safety standards. That was the main reason for The New I-64 in St. Louis. Some of the bridges dated back to the 1930s, and the interchanges were designed before engineers r...
