First Fridays, 9/3/04

I don't think she's arguing the legal right of checkpoints. She's saying don't do them where it might inconvience people coming from the northland. The legality of them is a completely different subject, which I agree with scooter, I'm not sure how legal they are, but the high courts have deemed the...

New Urbanism Update

DMW...you are correct about the plaza but saying the urban core will stretch 85 blocks to the north, over a river is a bit out there I think. Little different from it spreading 20 blocks from Westport to the plaza

Did This Happen in KCK?

hell I dare someone to walk an hour long down metcalf or 119th.....lack of sidewalks and dangerous traffic might kill you :) I grew up in KCK, I think I could get it done. Like in that Bowling for Columbine movie, 2 white dudes and a camera crew went down to crenshaw in South Central, nothing happen...

Bistate II Poll

I'll wait for more official information to come out than that lovely website that took 5 seconds to put together. Longest amount of that time trying to remember how to spell "bistate".

with things like the Irish fest happening downtown, these things are going to happen. They are obviously going to put it in a position where they can check a great # of people. Going through security in an airport is an inconvience, does that mean the airlines are trying to keep people from flying?

tk....think so? Most I talk to say they are voting yes for Bi-state just because of the PAC. They saw the sexy renderings in the paper.

STL: Huge new downtown casino complex

louman...I wasn't questioning that it was in an illegal area, I just was wondering the laws....my memory of that area seems like it's more than 1000 from the river but I guess not. Isn't this location west of the closed down Planet Hollywood?

First Fridays, 9/3/04

My neighbors went to their second FF last night. 2nd sobriety check at the Broadway Bridge. 8PM. That's the way to tell people to come spend $$$ in your city. What a nice way to spend half an hour. I'm not a big fan of checkpoints but saying the police doing this is keeping people from coming acros...

Segway/scooter rentals in the core...

outlaw them? why?

the tourist DRIVERS are bad enough, I don't need them running their scooters against reds in intersections :)

Not a bad idea but I'd rather just get the trolleys running again first.

with the information I now have (which isn't complete info), I'm voting no. That could change as more comes out.

The PAC already said they don't need the $50M to build.

STL: Huge new downtown casino complex

I think it will be a huge boost to the area actually. i especially like the res. tower. Hell there is nothing there now, it seems to fit in well.....the downtown casino in NOLA is a huge draw. I don't want any more in KC but I would have preferred a casino closer to river market than Isle of Capri is.

really? I thought they passed that thing that now allowed alcohol on the streets? I took a beer from the bbq place to the concert with no issues but that was a short distance. Last night had to be the biggest FF ever. It was simply packed EVERYWHERE. The concert helped of course. I went to Bulldog l...

what happens when most of the loft residents start families?

loft developments all over the country focus most on Young single professionals, dinks (dual income no kids), and retired people....families don't have a big draw in any urban area for the most part. As these new loft dwellers grow up, have kids, get married, they move out to first ring single famil...

From today's Biz. Journal on newstands now. First off Cordish is saying no tenant announcements until district is getting ready to open. Of course we'll hear things from other sources before then. Cordish also saying most of district already has "done more than sign letter of intent". Rumo...

New Urbanism Update

I'm not sure of the official designation but I don't think many projects even listed on this thread fit the real definition.

So yeah from the aerial drawings I guess legends would fit as well as the rest of these. We shall see when more info comes out.
