KC Current and WoSo, KC Development, but mostly bad jokes.
to a hotel *while* feeling like I'm still in a pedestrian friendly environment.

I'm not saying it's the showpiece for our metropolis, but it's okay for an afternoon. I feel it's better than the quasi-pedestrian structure of Mission and The Legends.

Loved Tivoli Garden. The Prater in Vienna is a wonderful urban amusement park experience too.

I'm pleasantly surprised a casino isn't a park and ride destination. I used to use Chiefs Express from Ameristar years ago to avoid parking at Arrowhead.

I think most will go there solely to park, but if you're a tourist in town with kids for 3 days, it's an option.

Worth a visit. My basic standard is: after I get there, can I eat, shop, do one more thing (visit a museum, go to a nice park, etc.), and go to a hotel without feeling like I'm still in a pedestrian friendly environment? It meets the bare minimum of this bar, and probably at the smallest scale.

I put the commissioner's quote in an inspirational image generator and, well, it's perfect.

Mild take: but I think this is a good plan given the dearth of transportation funding in both states? I hope this would drive home the idea that transportation funding is a net revenue generator, but...

Should be four categories.
-Walkable destinations (Liberty, Lawrence, LSMO, Northtown, Lenexa City Center).
-Entertainment destinations (Zoo, Worlds of Fun, Mission & Independence Square)
-Otherwise car-dependent shopping (Malls & The Legends)
-Satellite Parking

Yes, and Amtrak doesn't really work for LSMO residents who want to go downtown and back without an overnight stay.

Additional MO River Runner routes too!

217 SW Main Street in Lee's Summit is in the heart of downtown, right next to the Amtrak station. 20 minute service. This has been a transportation dream for me.

A league minimum contract. You can sign up to four players through a calendar year--which is weird because that would mean December 31, 2025. I assume they're announcing a contract that will technically start on January 1st for her.

I thought the most random fact about Hammond is her uncle is Notah Begay III, four-time winner on the PGA tour but better known as "Tiger Woods' best friend from Stanford".

This is like a bar game where you have to circle all the wrong things in the image. The photo caption should say (2014), Rocky on the wrong team and doesn’t show she played in 2023, other women played in multiple WWCs. I assume this is a sample of players because Besler, Molnar, Debinha etc. played.

I clearly remember this time last year when the discourse was GAH NO KEEPERS!
