Proposed Northland Soccer Complex

Well school has started which means no more swimming at the pool till after 10PM and so now maybe I'll have some time (and interest) to write some stuff. It's been a distracting summer with all the kids, a DIY disaster that I'm in the middle of, and family member... Continue reading

Public Input On Planning Grant Applications

I've been doing a lot more biking to work lately. Part of it is because I have a goal to do it once a week. Part of it is because I drive older, late model cars that sometimes need some preventative maintenance or repair. I dropped off the car in... Continue reading

Parkville Doubling Down on the Development Welfare Game?

Today I was just minding my own business driving along the newly widened Route 45 when I spotted where MoDOT decided to protect people in their cars with their seat belts and air bags by installing sharp metal guardrail which would be fine except the guardrail is right next to... Continue reading

Get Lost in Parma Woods

Just when I think I've been everywhere in Platte County, I realize I have so much to learn. Since yesterday was a cold day, I figured I'd "build character" with the older boys by wandering in the woods. I didn't feel like doing more exploring in Tiffany Springs Park and... Continue reading

I-29 Office to Hotel Conversion

While not as exciting as the saga of The Boat at Tiffany Springs there is some redevelopment of long vacant office space along the I-29 corridor underway. Back in the 1970's, someone built a pair of matching office buildings between NW 112th Street and Tiffany Springs Parkway. Those buildings of... Continue reading

Platte County Prosecutor's Race Starting Money Report

Following up on yesterday's post that Nick Marshal is challenging Eric Zahnd for Platte County Prosecutor this August, I'd thought I'd see how much nasty mail we will be getting this summer.

Read the Zona Rosa Bonds Yourself but We're Still Screwed

If you didn't see the article from Steve Vockrodt yesterday, here it is. The money line in the article? "Zona Rosa's occupancy rate has fallen from 85.9 percent in 2014 to 60 percent in 2017." This is what happens when we overbuild parking and subsidize parking garages. Cue the Strongtowns.org... Continue reading
