Re: “One Wal-Mart Ain't Enough

I would LOVE to hear your thoughts now that the Raytown Board of Aldermen are considering yet ANOTHER Walmart (albeit a Walmart Neighborhood Market) in the downtown area. Ironically, it would have exemptions from the building standards applied to other businesses and is slated for the location of the former First Baptist Church. Just how many Walmart purchasing opportunities does a small town need?!

Re: “Google Fiber bails out North Kansas City's fiber-optic misfire

I work for Geo-Tel (http://www.geo-tel.com) and we take fiber optics data and lay it over GIS software, basically making fiber optic lines viewable in a spatial map-like environment. We help local governments, city officials, and urban planners find new ways to increase their city’s connectivity by analyzing existing fiber infrastructure. This allows them to make wiser and more fiscally sound decisions when it comes to expanding upon the telecom infrastructure.

Re: “The Tutera Group isn't getting much resistance to its plan to wall off a chunk of Prairie Village for the Medicare set

Don't worry the council will cave to the NIMBY crowd. So far the only alternative anyone has proposed is more low density development with houses on 1-3 acre lots. You know while crying about the loss of green space if the school is torn down.

Re: “The Tutera Group isn't getting much resistance to its plan to wall off a chunk of Prairie Village for the Medicare set

I don't think I would want to live next to such a dense area. Apartment complexes are bad enough with extra traffic/noise but this place will have a food service center so trucks will be coming and going from the area at different times. Won't there also need to be other services? What about ambulances coming and going?

Re: “Chop Tops Hair Company

BEWARE!!!! Less than Two Weeks before my wedding they told me they couldn’t do my hair or my bridesmaids hair.... and they did it through an EMAIL!!!
Now--about a week before my wedding --- After I had already spending more than $200 on my pre wedding appointments--
NOW after all that time I spent discussion and emailing the styles about what was suppose to happen on the day of the wedding day...Well --IT”S ALL DOWN THE DRAIN...NOW I have to find someone else to do the wedding hair and makeup... did I mention they cancelled it through EMAIL!
I thought I had a verb agreement with them but that didn’t matter, we even narrowed down a time around 9- or 9:30. I even had another appointment scheduled with them the Monday before my wedding.
If the deposit was so important to them-- then WHY --did they not ask for the deposit during the more an five hours I had spent there during the two separate pre wedding appointments?
Did they get it then? NO!!!....did they hand me paperwork to fill out while I was there ? NO!! They sent it...two weeks before the wedding. Now less than 10 days before my wedding I have to find another hair dresser--I have never been so OUTRAGED! If you are bride beware. They promise a lot take your pre wedding money and but don’t deliver in the end!!!!!

Re: “Hollywood Casino drives massive gaming revenue increase for Kansas

KS could have saved the whole cost of developing the casino mess by marketing cutesy lottery games to the gullible and least who can afford it like we do in MO. Win a Harley with a scratcher! What a bunch of Larry the Cable Guy look alikes.

Re: “The Tutera Group isn't getting much resistance to its plan to wall off a chunk of Prairie Village for the Medicare set

The concerns that the neighborhood association has with this development is that it is MASSIVE! Our property is extremely close to the devolpment and feel that it would tower over our property and is not compatible with the neighborhood. It is surrounded by beautiful homes. It is like putting a huge development complex right in the middle of a neighborhood! I wonder how many of the people that are in favor of this project, would want this in their backyard??!!.... including the developer?! How woulod he feel to have a massive development that is three stories high approx 75 feet from his property line??!! After reading the article, I wonder how the Pitch came up with the sub- title, "The Tutera Group isn't getting much resistance to its plan to wall off a chunk of Prairie Village for the Medicare set"? Obviously the Pitch has not attended ANY of the neighborhood meetings where Tutera and his swashbuckling sidekick attorney presented their case in which not one neighbor spoke in favor of the project...interesting!

Re: “The Tutera Group isn't getting much resistance to its plan to wall off a chunk of Prairie Village for the Medicare set

I think you people should read the entire article. You obviously have a family or financial relationship with the developer. Perhaps you work for Parris communications...the developers public relations firm. It speaks volumes when a developer has to hire a PR firm to post on the internet. The article speaks to several controversial issues on both sides. Perhaps the developer is anti- neighborhood or anti- youth. THis Nimby term is straight out of the PR playbook. Prairie Village is already over-bedden for retirement centers compared to the rest of Johnson County 2:1. The "Y" generation ,ages 17-34, is coming -at 86 million people- bigger than the boomers (80 million). If Prairie Village continues to build retirement centers and close schools the coming generation of children will be headed to Blue Valley and Olathe. Why not build a residential developement for families and children. If one buys the land before it is rezoned or contingent on a Special Use Permit shouldn't he expect a divergence of opinion? The surrounding neighbors property rights are just as important as the developers.

Re: “Lutfi's Fried Fish is cookin' on 63rd Street

My grandma used to make wonderful cornmeal-breaded catfish (fresh from the lake right out back) and fried okra. Just reading about this place's menu makes me miss her----fried okra just tastes like love to me. I can't wait to go; I can't imagine that I'll be disappointed.

Re: “Double draggin' into two places, each trying to do two cuisines

I heard the review of Jasmine Thai last Friday night on the Food Critics on KCUR. I excitedly took my family there that very night hoping for some great food. Ugh. It was the worst thai/chinese food (we had a little of both) that we have had in this city (and that is not saying much).

Re: “Swagger has closed its Martin City location

Sounds like the service was just as bad in Martin City as it is in Waldo. Hopefully management will focus their attention on the remaining location, cut the dead weight and hire a competent staff. We took 6 friends to the Waldo location last year and it was such a miserable and embarrassing experience, we haven't been back.

Re: “Swagger has closed its Martin City location

Good Riddance. I only went there one time, MCBC was jam-packed full. Swagger's service was terrible. The food we got was o.k. But, the order messed-up. We tried to order 4 different beers, before we got to one that they actually had.
