TKC BREAKING NEWS!!! EVEN MORE DOWNTOWN KANSAS CITY BROKEN GLASS!!! LOOK AT A K-PAC BUSTED WINDOW!!!
In recent years Downtown Kansas City has been inhospitable for glass structures.
Hobos and people inappropriately conducting target practice have done a good job smashing shiny new structures and frightening developers. Remember that at our Downtown Dead Tree Media printing press there have been folks who have taken out windows at the cost of more than 5k a pop.
To wit . . .
TAKE A LOOK AT THE KAUFFMAN CENTER WITH A WINDOW BUSTED OUT OVER THE WEEKEND!!!
Click the pix for a bigger, better view and then remember that the so-called "Downtown Renaissance" is tougher to achieve than most people think and these shots provide a pretty good example as to why . . .
Because K-PAC is mostly empty there was nobody to ask about the damage and we just wanted to put this one on blast so mainstream media newsie could get a look and have something to do for Monday. You're welcome.
What's important . . . Either by design flaw, low flying bird, random bullet or a hobo with super-strength . . . Life in Downtown Kansas City is harder than it seems and gentrification schemes face a great deal of challenges.
DEVELOPING . . .
Too high for hobo strength.
ReplyDeleteLOL can one say Target Practice?
ReplyDeleteI agrees wit yous SupDave! Its problies my peoples jacking rounds
ReplyDeleteDang, didn't realize Ernest T. Bass had that strong of an arm. Hey Scott Pioli, offer him a contract now!
ReplyDeleteYou know what would fix this? Convention hotel funded by taxpayers.
ReplyDeleteEvery glass building suffers this same thing. The Kansas city Star was a target for awhile. Homeless Services Center had a couple of their windows broken. Maybe that's why down towns were always referred to concrete jungles!
ReplyDeleteMaybe it's the glass companies doing it knowing that we will blame the knee gars.
ReplyDeleteIt could be the wind, and this design's engineering could be seriously flawed.
ReplyDeletebad architecture.
ReplyDeleteMaybe this is expected to happend once an awhile given changes in temperature and pressure. If there is even the slightest flaw in any one of those panes of glass there is a possibility that it will break.
ReplyDeletebecause it's cheap. Don't worry. KC will pay for it.
ReplyDeleteand today was perfect. if that's what happened then it probably would have happened earlier.
Most likely this was gunfire.
It ain't "hobos", it's fucking NIGGERS. I repeat NIGGERS! Everybody knows that the animals of the hood are the perps...They always are.
ReplyDeleteWhere was Kyle James???
