No state except for every single red state including literally Missouri with KC and STL.keepstlbrick wrote:On #3, StL city and county don’t have a border war with metro east because Illinois has mostly chosen to abandon it, particularly the historically black cities close to the riverfront, so there is not competition ever from that side of the river for business and attractions and tax producers. Illinois would rather bail out Chicago every time it misbalances a budget. No state gets more of a pass for giving up on an urban area like Illinois does for metro eastStlAlex wrote: ↑Dec 26, 20251) Kansas City is Kansas' largest MSA. At ~916k, it is larger than Wichita's ~652k and Topeka's ~232k combined. On top of that, it is the 2nd fastest growing after Lawrence at 1.26% since 2020, and in the 2010s it was by far the fastest growing at over 10%. It makes total sense for Kansas to be focusing on its continued growth and development.PlatinumBlues wrote:Kansas is pouring all of its resources into the KC suburbs do they even know Wichita or their own state capital exist? IMO I don’t think them moving to Kansas is even a big deal it’s not like they moved completely out of the metro but it’s crazy how KCRaggers seem to perceive St.Louis is Missouri’s preference city. It’s always blame the city in Eastern Missouri yet they talk trash about us every chance they get. I’m usually not ruthless nor petty but I kinda hope the Royals move to Kansas since they always seem to wish bad on us & I’m sure they didn’t shed any tears when the Rams left St.Louis they were probably hoping St.Louis sink further into irrelevance…

2) St. Louis is definitely Missouri's preferred city. Up until this year, the leadership in both the House and Senate were STL-based, Eric Schmidt is from STL, and Mike Kehoe is also from STL. It's just a simple reality that STL is much more important to the state and has more representation in state politics than KC, regardless if you disagree with the political views of those leaders. I think the only powerful-KC based leader is the new House Speaker? And that was seen as a major shift for him to be elected Speaker. With that being said, the state did literally go all out to try and keep the Chiefs in-state, so I feel this isn't really an example of preference.
3) The Royals leaving would be very funny. Part of why KCRag has been so upset is because 1) The border war bullsh*t that we don't have because we don't hate Illinois the way they hate Kansas and 2) It is probably pretty emasculating in a way for a city to lose its teams to soulless suburbia in a different state, even moreso for a city as suburban and bleak (from an urbanist perspective) as KC already is. I feel like for them a downtown Royals stadium would show real urban development that they don't see particularly often and it would be a massive gut punch to lose out on that opportunity, a gut punch that probably would make some of them realize how bad KC's outlook actually is.
Sorry I'm so stupid and that my question was insulting.quincunx wrote: ↑Dec 27, 2025These ways IL thinks it's supporting the east side. What isn't clear?
***** you.
I was simply wondering why you think the extension to Mid America Airport is a waste?
Sorry I was posting too late.
Few people will use it. They don't even run bus service there right now. An express bus from Emerson Park would be faster, and the bus would arrive close to the terminal instead of 1000 feet away. The money could have helped way more people trying to get places without a car elsewhere.

^^ You should know by now that quincunx hates everything to do with the automobile.
Not everything. Some are works of art. Definitely check out the car show in Forest Park on Easter.
Sorry I misunderstood your question.
Yeah, I'm still mad at myself for missing the Roaring show at the Art Museum.quincunx wrote: ↑Dec 27, 2025Not everything. Some are works of art. Definitely check out the car show in Forest Park on Easter.

nobodys going to mention the authors name.....Ben Horney?
Missouri House majority leader Jonathan Patterson said last week during an interview on local radio station KCMO that ultimately, the county will be “on the hook” for either $20 million of annual maintenance or $150 million for a demolition.Forever_Lou wrote: ↑Dec 30, 2025https://frontofficesports.com/chiefs-exit-leaves-missouri-with-arrowhead-demolition-dilemma/
I don't 100% get this line. They don't have to do maintenance if no one is using it.
Why not sell it like Oakland/Alameda County did?

KC can get on Dick Clark’s Rockin Eve with a Chappel Roan performance…When are we going to get our mojo back and get a performance in front of the arch and be relevant?
Last year St. Louis had 15 minutes straight of Andy Cohen and John Hamm on CNN talking about the St. Louis and the Blues.

St. Louis was actually well represented last night on CNN's New Years show, as usual. I'd venture to say STL got more airplay than most cities.keepstlbrick wrote: ↑4:25 AM - Jan 01KC can get on Dick Clark’s Rockin Eve with a Chappel Roan performance…When are we going to get our mojo back and get a performance in front of the arch and be relevant?

Baseball is a better local investment than football so surprised they didn’t push to get this as part of their district
