So, if a majority of the fans in the Royals "survey" choose downtown for the ballpark, will they pursue Washington Square Park, or will they interpret it as "Oh, cool, we can bulldoze the northeast Crossroads now."
Would love to know if you get a survey email. I'll do same.

Help out the Martini Corner businesses while their street is shut down: Take the new @kcstreetcar.org extension to 31st Street and walk down to some great restaurants, retail, coffee and more.

Walked about 1,000 feet to our streetcar stop and toured the new line. Went to UMKC, then turned around and headed north, stopping to tour the Kemper Museum before going to Union Station/Parisi. Service was halted temporarily due to a pedestrian being hit be a vehicle, so we walked 1.5 miles home.

I love @awfulannouncing.bsky.social, but I will no longer see their "Paul thinks..." stories because I just muted the word "Finebaum."
Apologies to all others with the Finebaum name.

Now that it's been four years since I lived near the streetcar -- and now it rolls by my current home in Midtown, what's the best way to monitor the locations of cars on an app or website in real time? I have the Transit app, and used for buses, but I don't think I'm using it correctly for KCSC.

Not every entrance ramp to the loop needs a yield sign, but the ones that have them should have two speed bumps leading up to the yield sign. (Like where cars are entering the loop from 6th or Main, while eastbound cars already on the loop are exiting for Hwy 9)

I was mistaken. The stairs that Mick Jagger ran down in 1994 are still intact (bottom right quadrant of photo).

Sadly, this is not my harvest -- it's all the unripe, inedible peaches i thinned out so that more large branches don't break off my tree.

Probably my favorite-ever coffee mug. Wish I still had it.
