    I wouldn't argue w/ GFA about trains, the dude subscribes to a magazine after all.

    Holy shit, looked up an article in the Star, last time it was lit up was 2006. How does time go so fast?

    At the time of its construction, the KCTV tower was the third tallest free standing structure on Earth. Only behind the Chrysler building and the Empire State Building. 4th tallest? The Eiffel Tower. The frenchies got jealous and added some poles and radio antennas to pass it up. After that it got its KC nickname as the “Eye-Full Tower”. Can’t believe it’s been so long.

    NPR used to be in the building next to it. During an internship I went there to stuff envelopes and I went and stood under the tower. Very cool that they’re lighting it up again

    It's going to keep getting worse. $2.5 billion of development has been approved for downtown. This is going to be cool even without the stadium next to it.

    I understand both and it's a pleasant nuisance (if done right) to have but a nuisance nonetheless, been working downtown a lot recently and just an observation of how bad it's gotten

    It has already happened. My wife's old coworker posted a photo that Taylor took with the staff. Could you imagine if you somehow took today off?

    Jesus Christ. Jackson Co is really going to piss away this $70 million and Frank White still won’t attend a single meeting. The guy has it out for this city.
