"You can die of encouragement in this town"

The Kauffman Foundation is giving away $35 million to selected U.S. colleges and universities millions of dollars to encourage entrepreneurial education.

Meanwhile the only business this town really cares about is real estate speculation (read: lofts & condos) and the many desires and demands of our billionaire sports franchise owners. Sadly, those investments don't seem to be panning out. We're right in the middle of yet another disastrous Royals season and there is also ever increasing prospect that the greater fool has already purchased his last downtown loft. Still, I guess you can't blame people in this town for selling their neighborhoods and infrastructure for pipe dreams. We're the same community that once hosted Todd Blackledge after all.
