ReplyDeleteFoutch Brothers take possession of Kemper Arena for $1.00, decide to sell it for scrap metal and salvage, end up clearing $100k.
Great location for the National Negro Thug Museum.
ReplyDeleteDid we finish paying for the last round of improvements?
ReplyDeleteThese guys have no money! The youth sports complex will never happen!! Thanks Sly!!! $1.00!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteThey need to have more Missouri Tigers basketball games there. Power and Light District Supporting MoDOT Mizzou Educated geniuses like me shouldn't have to go so far to watch games. And the local taxpayers should fund it just like they should a nice big fat pay raise for me.
ReplyDeleteIf you have a problem with me: turnej1@centurylink.net is my email.
Maybe Trumps front company will build a 500 unit condo down there?
ReplyDeleteI didn't realize how high the price was. A dollar is huge. Was thinking maybe 75 or 80 cents... but a dollar? What will they do with all the excess funds?
ReplyDeleteWithin two years and after all the tax credits and available subsidies have been exhausted and the desperate requests for just a little more public money because "we've come so far, but aren't quite there yet", have been turned down, this mess will once again become a disposal problem for the city.
ReplyDeleteIt will be the Mission Mall of KCMO, but much much more expensive.
The concept is pie-in-the-sky and there's no where near enough private money.
Yet another grandiose scheme that will come a cropper.
@6:30AM - You're probably right. Look at what Populous (aka. HOK) did in the River Market. Cashed in a shit-ton of incentives to build their HQ there. Then when it came close for the incentives to run out they moved to the Plaza where they cashed in on MORE freebie incentives while their are growing financial issues at their old HQ that will likely leave the city (taxpayers) holding the bag....again.
ReplyDeleteBullhorn Boy made quite a good deal on that sale didn't he. Is that dollar considered a win for the Mayor's office?
