Nice expansion list. Deadzone places with a paucity of decent females but full of stupid fat drunk moronic americans stabbing each other in the back while chanting "usa!!" usa"!! These types of places always succeed in a place like kc which is a matriarchy run by fat bitches with clipped hair and mean faces and worthless $68,000/yr clerical jobs.
Nice tats on the skank on the end btw. Don't let her slip a finger in your drink.
Gulliver Foyle, Jr. So, what you are saying is that the people that oppose this complex are NIMBY's but the people that are for it...are what? We'll just call them the developers and those that will make a significant profit off of it. You obviously weren't at the meeting on Tuesday night. There were a lot of people there that were opposed to the project that don't live in that vicinity. In fact, most of the people that were proponents of the complex don't even live in our City. So, wouldn't it be appropriate that those that live around the proposed complex, are those that have the most to lose, are one families displaying the signs in their yards to show their opposition? Sadly, I agree with you that most of the residents just don't care. I find that to be most unfortunate.
I think disgusted in pv pretty much nails it. Sure, you see a fair amount of signs, but you see very few except close to the proposed development. I live in Prairie Village and don't think the overwhelming majority of the citizens care one way or another, but those very loud NIMBYs are going to carry the day because the council will cave. If those people had their way, they would get rid of the nearby apartments, but they can't figure out a way to do so. The one thing you can say is that we don't need any more mcmansions on huge lots, but that's what the neighbors are going to end up with.
Hey Disgusted, I never said that his vote counts because it doesn't. My point is that while it may have been a legal donation, it shows that there is a "relationship" between the Mayor and the law firm that is representing the developer. I believe that it is a huge conflict of interest with an appearance of impropriety.
If the Council votes this down it is because they are representing the residents of Prairie Village and not the developer. It is the residents that voted all of the Council in to represent them and their best interest. This massive development is not in the interest of anybody but the developer who stands to make millions and millions of dollars~while inevitably costing the residents a loss of money with regard to their property values and the increase in services that will be required to handle such an enormous complex.
I'm not sure I'd want to see people's bellybuttons while I eat. Weird, isn't it?
Hey perplexed unless its a tie vote the Mayor doesn't have a say at all in what happens here so what's your point? I can pretty much promise you with the current council it won't be a tie vote. They will pitifully cave to the loud mouths in the MVNA and kill this project and probably the next 3 that anyone attempts to propose on this site until we're stuck with redeveloping the largest vacant property in the city with 5-10 houses and all that precious green space tied up on new multi-acre lots. But that will be acceptable to the neighborhood.
Notice how no one ever mentions the apartments to the north and west of the site? MVNA could care less about the schlubs living there.

I am thrilled! We need inexpensive organic option in KC. I've shopped the one in Phoenix and will be shopping at the one here. Very happy!!!!
This reminds me of why I do NOT contribute to that slimy radio station
Does it matter that Mayor Ron Shaffer was the recipient of a direct contribution from the Polsinelli firm? Other mayoral candidates in other surrounding cities didn’t receive a contribution from said firm; not Lenexa, not Leawood, not Mission, not Overland Park, not Westwood, not Roeland Park. Coincidence? I think not.
I am tired of Jolie Justus using her position to work for the interests of Shook, Hardy and Bacon clients.

So...boring?
PV is losing families because we are making decisions to not do things that might actually attract them. We've killed the plan to build paths or widened sidewalks through the city. The first opportunity for large re-development in years is going to go down in flames because it isn't a school and the neighborhood is still butt hurt it was closed. We've decided not to fund a community center. And there are those that are determined to make it harder to modernize the older neighborhoods in the north of the city because we shouldn't alter what JC Nichols built more than 60 years ago. If the city isn't allowed to change to meet changing needs and expectations of its citizens it will go into decline. Unfortunately we seem to be determined to kill the city in order to save it. Good luck with that.
“It’s clear to me that you don’t care or want to work with the neighborhood,” said Satterlee. “I’m supposed to be excited about five acres of usable green space. My lot is three acres. That doesn't excite me.”
This comment speaks volumes about the people opposed to this. So far they have shown zero interest in saying what they consider acceptable just taking on dump on any idea that is floated.
MVNA has distributed hundreds of signs in opposition to this project. Just drive around Prairie Village and you will see the visible opposition. However, there are others that are opposed to this massive development as well. I'm not sure what he is basing this article and observation on. Perhaps he was being sarcastic?
This isn't about the Atriums. This isn't about Lucille. This is about an oversized project that doesn't belong in the middle of a residential neighborhood. It doesn't fit with its surrounding and goes against everything that Prairie Village is about. We are losing families. That is who we should be focusing on for the future of Prairie Village.
You have to admire this NIMBY crowd, because someone has advised them to hang their hopes on the MASSIVE HUGE DENSE development idea, even though it is none of these. Nothing will make them happy except, as they admit, school, church, or park or more huge houses, that when they see the plans, they will suddenly oppose. I live in Prairie Village and can confirm, we are currently well-stocked on churches, parks, schools, and large houses, but also that is true of senor living facilities. The fact is that those in the proximity hate the idea, and most of use could care less. I just want to know who came up with the choice of the word 'massive'. I bet it is one of those people living in a massive house, as in massive is okay for them, but not this development.
The gun law boggles my mind. There is over a 100 years of case law stating that state laws cannot supercede federal law. The MO Legislature passed this law to gain points with the NRA. Whatever side of the gun debate you are on, this should upset you. If Nixon signs this law, the Attorney General of MO will be meeting the Attorney General of the US in court. No legal scholar would give the state a sliver of hope of winning. In the meantime millions of tax payer dollars will be wasted on lawyer to play some stupid political game. I cannot think of a worse way to waste tax dollars.

Ale like aftertaste? LOL. Straight up lager, thru and thru.
Unreadable graphic? What are you talking about? Look at it. Pretty damn clear.
The bottle makes no difference whatsoever. Maybe a vortex bottle would suit your taste better.
