Strategic Survival Solutions is both a full-service, critical incident response training company, specializing in active shooter and violent intruder events, consulting and a survival specialty store. We call it a "Survival Station."
WTF is a "active shooter and violent intruder event"? Sounds like a paintball party.

You may laugh but companies put their employees through training for this kind of stuff. Although in the only training I had to take, the guy said that shooters are usually people with a beef so the best way to avoid being shot is just not "piss anyone off".

Now imagine how much that consultant got paid for that gem.
With so much going on lately, I mapped all the projects that have been in the news of late. You can click on the icons for more info about the project. Here is the link:

nice map. constructive criticism- the streetcar line is 2 blocks too short and you're missing a large number of projects
the quick check-
Columbus Park, the other union hill project, the argyle building, that new parking garage at 17th and wyandotte, hospital hill apartments
Updated the map with some of the projects I missed that flyingember pointed out - although I couldn't bring myself to put a parking garage on a development map.
Also included a link to the most recent article in the Star or Business Journal for each project.
If anyone knows of any other projects that aren't on there let me know. I will try to keep this updated as projects arise and are undertaken.
Definitely seeing some work done in the buildings at 1706 Oak, Some black trashbags taped nicely up on the outside of the north building's front window. KCMO GIS doesnt have any new info in it, I assume the building got leased. Looks like young guys cleaning it up, using an old van
I drove down the 700 block of Walnut a few days ago and noticed that work was being done to the old "Stables Bar and Grill". I had never been inside that bar, but it always looked pretty sketchy from the outside (in the last weeks of the bar being in business, I noticed a homeless man casually humping the iron fence around the perimeter..nice). Here's to hoping for new life to that old bar.
I remain hopeful that that awful parking garage will be torn down and a new building put there. Once upon a time there was talk of a national discount retailer putting an express/city store at that location. But that was a long time ago now.

Whatever's going in here appears to be *very* close to (re)opening. The obligatory neon beer signs are up in the windows; the door was open and balloons were set outside the (propped open) door today. I glanced in and didn't see any customers in there, but a couple of guys were working in/around the bar.
