Re: “With Google putting Fiber in Austin, Kansas City Startup Village confronts an uncertain future

Hi Abe! I'm a founder of one of the startup businesses in the community. We need 1Gbps speeds right now for two things: to run our production server inside our office, and to provide a high quality experience for our users on low-end devices! Access to a connection like this makes a huge difference for a startup. In other cities the only way to access a network like this is to go to a university, or pay upwards of $3000/month. And you should always care about community startups! Tech startups are a fundamental part of the new economy. Startups like those in the KCSV create more jobs nationally than large corporations!

Re: “Where are you going for brunch in Kansas City?

V's Italiano has the best bang for your buck on Sundays-All you can eat, a bottomless glass of Asti or juice, all for just $17.95 from 10am-2pm.

Zeeman ain't lying about the dim sum at Bo Ling's either! Oh yeah....

Furthermore, why do these small time-y online businesses have this great need for super fast internet. Just seems like a bunch of tech savvy people bitter that they might not get the newest toy.

Re: “With Google putting Fiber in Austin, Kansas City Startup Village confronts an uncertain future

What exactly do companies like Local Ruckus do, and why should I care? It seems like it's just yet another redundant website full of info that is already widely available. The marketplace is flooded with them. Hell, half of the Pitch is essentially a print version of it.

Re: “With Google putting Fiber in Austin, Kansas City Startup Village confronts an uncertain future

OK - so I understand some concern that Google is announcing new cities without "finishing" the metro, but what were the expectations? Did these small businesses think Google was going to make them successful? Did the Village team have a good concept that was sustainable? Google originally only announced KCK and KCMO - those areas surrounding would only be gravy in their scope.

Re: “How TIF flushed Swope Ridge to make way for soccer

That is not true -- this particular piece of property has been abused by all because of the status of the area. It ranges from dumping to squaters to death and abuse. It is such a beautiful piece of property that because of the TIF and its priorities can never be seen. Purpose -- get a life!!

Re: “Where are you going for brunch in Kansas City?

Michael Forbes $11 brunch isn't too bad. It's not huge...but there is plenty of food and for the price, you can't go wrong. Beats the hell out of The Well or Tom Fooleries as far as price:quality are concerned.

On the high end side - Majestic is a great choice...Benton's was good too (RIP)

If you've never seen a band from a historically-black-college, you don't know what you're missing! I'm glad to see they were mentioned...heck, PUBLICIZED...in this article. It'll be a show. I'm definitely gonna go see that part, and take the kids!

I love the Swedish pancakes at Succotash. And most everything else there. Beer Kitchen has an excellent brunch as well.
