Long shot, but do any of my KC local Tweeps shoot Sony mirrorless, or recommendations for a local rental? Have a shoot this week and need a third camera.

The North Loop destroyed a huge swath of our downtown. North Loop Neighbors is an advocacy coalition to rebuild what was lost.

Should this vote pass, it'll be a drastically better plan because people made their voices heard and didn't just accept the plan that was dropped on them.
Several sites within downtown have been speculative locations for baseball stadiums, which has left areas of downtown dead and in wait for a generation. They're still dead as the Royals flipped to a site that requires significant demolition and displacement...
I think downtown stadia can be good for downtowns, as much as I hate the public financing race to the bottom. But this plan just piles more destruction on top of the decades of destruction that were wrought by downtown baseball speculation.
It's been an honor. Thanks for believing and riding, KC.
Yesterday our #kcstreetcar Board of Directors said goodbye to two valuable members as we transition to bring on new representatives for the Main St. Ext. I can't say enough to sufficiently thank Matt & Lynn for their invaluable contributions to our mission. You will be missed!
You can't bank on investing in a community in the spirit of patience for positive change if you're having the same conversations, and fighting the same old battles, for 20 years. – at Kansas City, MO

Help Us Find This Vehicle.
This vehicle struck a person in a hit & run at Westport & Broadway early Saturday morning.
It’s a white Dodge Challenger 2-door with black rims & a sunroof. The vehicle also has damage to the front driver’s side bumper & is missing the driver...

We’re not telling society to “ban cars,” we’re asking local governments to stop subsidizing people who drive at the expense of people who don’t in every aspect of how we build places.
The tram in Venice uses a single rail for traction and rides on rubber tires. Weird.
Probably only works because it never sees a hill. – at Venice, Veneto
Being a kid was awesome. You could just go outside and go for a bike ride with your pals.
But then you grow up and...you still can!

With mindfulness of the tragic loss of the crew of the Titan, I think it is appropriate to ask how this massive search effort was funded.
Do libertarian-minded companies who bristle at safety regulations then get the government to attempt to rescue them from their negligence?
Generational shift in KC leadership. Amazing candidates like @mkelleykc changed the conversation even if they fell short, and a new younger cohort of leaders takes over. It's a good day to be bullish on our future.
