The residential rate for 3mb is $25 bucks a month and I would LOVE to have Google operate liNKCity and use Northtown as a testing ground. I can't wait to fire DirecTV, et al.
I will always swear by Author Bryant's!
Cheers for Rankin County. Wish they'd try that in Tuscaloosa. Westboro is in grave danger at the Capstone. Bama fans are ones they don't need to mess with!
Sura 9:5
And when the sacred months have passed, then kill the polytheists wherever you find them and capture them and besiege them and sit in wait for them at every place of ambush. But if they should repent, establish prayer, and give zakah, let them [go] on their way. Indeed, Allah is Forgiving and Merciful.
Even better is 8:12 in which it is commanded to behead the unbelievers
I am with you, therefore make firm those who believe. I will cast terror into the hearts of those who disbelieve. Therefore strike off their heads and strike off every fingertip of them.
Inshallah may Islam make itself known to the world inshallah
The biggest problem with this development is that the neighbors don't seem to understand that this property WILL change whether they like it or not. They have already shot down the potential to build a decent retail center that would have likely improved home values (similar to the Village Shops) when they defeated the zoning change. So now this is the only viable solution. The developers invested $4.3 million dollars and they're not going to waste that on a low return on investment by turning this parcel into a public park (are you kidding me with that suggestion!), school or church. In fact, if they were to turn it into a church, you can bet that the only church that could afford to build on such land would be a mega church and would likely have a greater negative impact on the surrounding neighborhood. Let's face it, the neighborhood opposed to this development missed the chance to make this property into something special and now has to live with the consequences. Living in PV myself (near the Village Shops) I can tell you that from the standpoint of the city, this development represents one of the only times we can expand our tax base without actually increasing taxes. The residents in the area need to WAKE UP and start providing meaningful suggestions (building a stone/landscaped wall around property to shield their homes, placing villas on the outskirts of the property to mask the interior 3-story complex, etc...) if they want this to be successful in the end.
First of all, shame on The Pitch for its irresponsible and baseless headline. It " ... isn't getting much resistance to its plan ... "? According to whom? To Tutera, obviously. Did the reporter attend the May 7 meeting? It was full of opponents, and not just MVNA members. Unfortunately, most of the proponents left the meeting before hearing the well-prepared and eye-opening presentation about the density of the project and its impact on property values. Another important fact left out of this article: the project includes more than villas and senior living. It also includes a skilled nursing facility, which is basically a second-tier hospital for rehabilitation and recovery. Who wants that in the middle of a residential neighborhood? Plus, I feel sorry for all those who spoke in favor of the project May 7 because they wanted to retire in PV. Do we know the price point of these villas and this senior living facility? I bet most of those speakers won't be able to afford living there. Besides, the big trend in senior living is aging at home. I'm afraid PV is turning into a community of elderly residents. Nothing against old people (heck, I'm 56), but I like age diversity. A previous poster is right when he said we'll drive all the families with children south to Blue Valley and Olathe. Tutera is a devious, low-cost developer. This development is not right for Prairie Village. Period.
Those poor kids...I couldn't imagine how they must feel about the situation.
What a selfish idiot....deny deny deny...oh wait nope i'm still screwing up my life and my childrens lives...douche.
Actually the problem was the majority of people that bought the low rate plan, NOT how much the high rate plan was, that area has a high lower income ratio to medium income ratio. I would venture to say almost 75-25. Most people would get the 1.5-3Mb plans because that worked just fine. Latency was low so Netflix ran just fine over the one tv or computer, and gaming was never an issue. Even when they ran a special for a 10Mb package nobody wanted it because what they had worked just fine.
On top of all that, an installation to a home that did not have prior service would cost roughly 800-1200 dollars for all the equipment and labor. So for a $14.95 customer the ROI on that stinks!
Heck I am hoping Google comes to my neighborhood because I want the "free" 5 Mb plan because I don't need it for anything more.
If they lead with anything other than Jodie Whatsherface for Michael Jackson, I'm all in.
The problem is that the project is far out of scale with the space. Turning this much green space into parking lots and dense 3 story buildings is way out of character with the area. Something on a smaller scale would be ok, but what they are planning is HUGE. Also, the headline of this article is way off. There is significant opposition to this plan.
Oh cue the vegan man hating feminists. Sooner or later there will be protesters out front with hairy armpits saying its sexism and women are not objects.
Hooters btw is boring. I never go there anymore anyway. They are set up like its 1990s still, there was never any renovation or change at Hooters, it was only a matter of time before a new company came along and perfected the concept. Tired of the orange and white all over the place.
@Ted: I would not be at all surprised if clapshot is revealed at the first inspection by the health dept.
The new KC-Pils is not the same beer as the Boulevard Pilsner. I tried it three different times and the my overall impression is that the new brew lacks the clarity and crispness of the Original and has an odd, ale-like, aftertaste. As they both (old & New)were/are the only lagers on the year-round menu for Boulevard I am rather unhappy with the new stuff...
Boss Tom's beats it by a mile.
I can only assume that if Maxim likes it, then the food tastes of Axe Body Spray and teenage boobs.
Muehlebach bottle was so much better. Oh well.
Free speech works both ways.
Speaking of which, anyone know if we'll ever get "The Naked News" in Kansas City?
he was just tweaking on a fresh batch of meth....they give it out to students there at Meth U
they must have thought that since they got some press on Triple D they were going big time.....more like big time belly up!
Re: “Tilted Kilt is the latest breastaurant to set its sights on KC”
This restaurants was shown on "Undercover Boss" last year.
I dont have an opinion either way, I doubt if I will ever go to one of these places...It was fun when I was 21, but fast-forward 18 years later...too much torture.
KC voted down having a Coyote Ugly in the Legends Mall because it didnt conduct a "family" atmosphere...BUT they approved a Hooters there.
