Re: Three Light

The restaurants along 14t...

Re: Vintage Photos of KC
All of these photos went away over the weekend. Any chance they will be back?

Re: Why Can't the West Bottoms Be Redeveloped....?
Woah, crazy. My wife and I recently started going to the gym located on the 4th floor of this building. Anyone know what the process is for determining the safety of a building after a fire like this in order for business to continue?

Re: Church of the Resurrection Downtown Campus
dont forget that most churches host 1 or 2 weddings a weekend, usually with the majority of attendees not being church members and most likely coming by car

Re: Westport's fate post-P&L

Re: Proposed apartment for 13th and Walnut - One Light
awesome response, everything you said makes sense. I'm actually kicking myself a little for not stopping to think all of that through before before posting my comment. The mirrored finish makes sense given the privacy desired in a residential tower, its just not my favorite look. I do believe a high...

Re: Proposed apartment for 13th and Walnut - One Light
am i being picky in thinking that the glass used on this building is really cheap looking? Every single window in that photo distorts its reflection. It almost looks like they installed plastic saran wrap in place of glass. I would be afraid to lean up against that glass if i lived there, it just do...

Re: New Springhill Suites on the Plaza?
ha, good catch. And on the flip side, 45th IS a two way but rendering shows a car driving west in the eastbound lane.

Re: Proposed apartment for 13th and Walnut - One Light
i don't think those webcams were intended just for this project, i may be wrong. I agree though, they are nice for people who are unable to see the construction in person. They are also positioned well for the convention hotel construction once that begins

Re: Scamp's Alley
i agree, this is one of the most dense streets in terms of beautiful old architecture and trees. I like that the phoenix has a couple sidewalk tables. Unfortunately, the sidewalk to is too narrow to have tables outside any of the other spaces on that street. Since it is a one-way already, it would b...

Re: New Convention Hotel
Im starting to realize I dont care how tall it is, just as long as it creates a strong walkable street presence and is visually pleasing to look at. And most importantly, does what it is intended to do, bring in lots of outside money.

Re: Why Can't the West Bottoms Be Redeveloped....?
actually, if you look at the before and after on the website they seemed to have done a decent job of infilling around the existing buildings. The only place I see a lot torn down is a couple on Liberty and between Wyoming and Genessee, which just so happens to house the majority of the existing lif...

http://media.bizj.us/view/img/5827701/kccch-rendering-2.jpg Yes just a rendering....At night it looks fine but in the light the top feature makes the building look unfinished. DUMB.
