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!
Ditto Foodsnob, I'm so sick of the national publications doing articles on KC BBQ and writing glowing reviews of Gates and Arthur Bryants. They must be dusting off old reviews someone else wrote, they surely haven't been to either of them.
These two chains would close their doors if they weren't getting the one time tryers coming in ...their food quality is awful.
must be a market for this type of establishment, what with Hooters, Twin Peaks and now Tilted Kilt opening. Single teenage moms have to work somewhere....not all of them have the skills or guts to work the stripper pole.
let's hope she covers the spectrum of Strawberry Hill enthnic foods...there were two big German neighborhoods there also.....
This is prime real estate (hence paying so much over appraised value) and Prairie Village should be happy that the Tutera group is purchasing it instead of some out of state firm that will develop it into a retail shopping center or apartment complex. Think of the alternatives; a liquor store, convenience store, restaurant, auto parts store, Wal Mart! Sure it would be nice to have it as a park or for more homes, but the reality of it is that just isn't going to happen. And if it was to happen, the houses would be so massive that people would complain about that. Just be lucky that the worst thing that will happen to neighbors is an old person "escaping" or the sound of an ambulance every once in a while.
Someone should compile a list of every place that a Lutfi's location has been open. It has to be at least a dozen.
What's with the unreadable graphic? :(
Will haggis, cullen skink, Arbroath smokies, and clapshot be on the menu? Or deep fried Mars bar?

Those poor kids...I couldn't imagine how they must feel about the situation.
