MSM in this cowtown loves touting grand plans for ANYTHING named "Rock Island" that never seems to materialize.
The latest bit of hype fed to the public are cutesy drawings of a restaurant on a bridge that's unlikely for anybody who has ever smelled the river at high tide during the Summer.
KCTV: Kansas Cities unite renovating Rock Island Railroad Bridge for future
Here' the big problem . . .
RIGHT NOW THIS PART OF TOWN IS HOBO CENTRAL AND ANY PUBLIC ACCESS WOULD BE INUNDATED WITH SOME OF THE MEANEST DERELICTS WHO WALK KANSAS CITY STREETS!!!
Just a few blocks away, last year, there was a brutal "pimp cane" beat down that claimed the life of some poor lady.
There are hobo camps scattered throughout the era and surrounding woods and nearby railroad traffic has always provided cover for these not-so-lovable and often dangerous scamps.
Sadly, when it comes to developer hype and sketchy schemes backed by taxpayers, local news hasn't found a way to raise questions but instead plays promoter for every dumb idea touted by the civic elite.
Developing . . .
We got the momentum! The Big Shitty!
ReplyDeleteAnd it will take only a few tens of millions of tax dollars to accomplish.
ReplyDeleteAnd KCMO can easily borrow that, just like pretty much everything else has been funded on thin air and future promises.
We're the "arts bridge" capital of the country!
Somebody call the New York Times!!
The bridge is in Kansas...... so
ReplyDeleteTOP PHOTO -- A BRIDGE TOO FAR
ReplyDeleteIn hindsight, it was clear that restaurant developers had neglected to consider the smell, mosquitoes, and obese residents unwillingness to walk more than a few feet!!!
Sounds like a lot of fun in the winter time.
ReplyDeleteWell, it’s easy to dispose of bodies off the bridge when the shootings over!
ReplyDelete^^You watch too much TV geezer.
ReplyDeleteI don't see all the feral hood rats running around robbing and raping people in this photo.
ReplyDelete...a Bridge to Nowhere. Wonder how many tax incentives we’ll provide while KCMO citizens drown from increasing taxes? Now taking bribes and campaign donations.
ReplyDelete^^Help me...I'm soooo lonely! Is anybody out there??!!!???........
ReplyDeletekcmo owns he bridge that extends into Kansas. it goes NOWHERE.
ReplyDeleteWaste of money. No thank you.
I love the sailboats the artist stuck in that nasty ass mud soup with every imaginable agricultural runoff
