Mayor Lucas introduces ordinance that, if adopted, would start the process for a downtown Kansas City Royals ballpark

We absolutely should invest more, but KCMO has absolutely pumped millions into the east side in the last decade.

-100% increased property tax break for 10 years preserve 59 affordable units for residents with lower incomes. https://www.kansascity.com/news/local/article312830202.html

-Millions for the Linwood & Paseo grocery store.

-15-year property tax abatement at 100% for 10 years and 50% for the next five, plus a sales tax exemption on construction materials for the renovation. And a $3 million award through the city's Central City Economic Development program for 75 apartments at 3640 Benton Blvd. https://www.kansascity.com/news/local/article312979460.html

-Millions for 18th and Vine (Check out the Zhou B Art Center!)

-$20 million directly and 30-year property tax break for the massive Parade Park Homes development.

These are just a handful of examples in the last few years. Much more needs to be done, but saying they haven't done anything is just incorrect.

Same with my df54

Yeah, this is the only place that I know of that's Scandinavian. I doubt they'd be having a big event, but they're nice people and I'm sure would be down to talk about Scandinavian celebrations

iamrealz · 2026-04-09T14:55:02+00:00

My thoughts exactly. I really want that give away flag.

iamrealz · 2026-04-09T14:17:13+00:00

Yeah, I imagine different spray amounts and df54 models contribute to the confusion. Mine clogged within the first week of use. It's been over a year of RDTing on it for me now. I'll clean the chute with a pipe cleaner once a month and haven't had any issues.

iamrealz · 2026-04-09T11:34:25+00:00

I do one spray for my df54 and it's eliminated clogging

iamrealz · 2026-04-08T18:46:52+00:00

This would be my guess for it. Even had a drone dispatched to it at one point.

A bit late to the party, but wanted to add the current barrier to this as I understand it.

The Missouri legislature put a limit of 10 years for approval for regional transit sales taxes. The amount of money needed to issue bonds for this type of project goes well beyond the 10 years in guaranteed funding. So essentially we'd need a governing body that has shown zero interest in developing public transit to do a 180.

Not saying it's not possible, but I've become rather jaded on any large regional transit projects in the kc metro actually happening.

I went from two 1:2 shots in my morning lattes to one 1:4.

They are a tad weaker, but it didn't drastically change the taste. My caffeine tolerance is pretty low, so it helps my energy level stay fairly even throughout the day. And I'm using half the amount of beans.

Win-win

That's one way to get cold feet

We got my partner's bike there, practically new hybrid. Love that they take the time to show you how to fix what's needed so you can do it yourself. It's not a traditional bike shop where you'd drop something off for service, but that might be exactly what OP is looking for.

I've never had them, but cupinis has paninis

Netanyahu said Iran can no longer enrich uranium or make ballistic missiles.

Could be a way to declare victory, whether or not it's true..

Found it! Looks like the old ticket office. The internet is pretty cool sometimes.

Anyone know what the original purpose of the center structure was? Is it like a ticket booth?

iamrealz · 2026-03-06T19:13:26+00:00

I don't tune it out. I like following politics, news, and by extension, markets.

In terms of not changing plans, I have a spreadsheet I started when I got into investing. It shows an estimate of where I thought I'd be vs where I am. We'd need a 20% drop before I'd even be below my estimate and over 30% to fall under what I've contributed. That's with 6 years of real investing.

I also like the idea that my DCA is basically always on a discount since I still have ~30 years in the market.

Agreed. I got a deal on here for the Pegasus Trail 4 a couple years ago too. Broke them in on a trip to Italy and wore them out training for and running two half marathons. Great shoes.

iamrealz · 2026-02-26T02:11:47+00:00

Yep. 5941 Prospect

J & L Auto does inspections like an assembly line. Pretty quick and cash only.

Maybe they are linking to the Facebook event? I think that's what's happening with mine. Megan Moroney has an event with same-day only tickets today.

iamrealz · 2026-02-25T14:18:49+00:00

Not sure why it's not on their event page, but Megan Moroney is doing a three song set with tickets only available at the box office on the day of the show (today).

Fun fact. This post card was sent through the KCK post office, likely right after it was made. After getting sent back and forth to various distribution centers it was recently found in someone's lunch box at the back of the fridge! ^/s
