Hoping That Kansas City Middle-Class White People Are Pleased With Polsinelli Shughart Plaza Building Redesign!!!
Personally, I'm only looking for desperate divorced blonde women on The Plaza but with so much interest I guess I like the new design of the Plaza building released today.
A TKC EXCLUSIVE FACT and a rather nice quote from a rather awesome Kansas City media person watching the drama:
"Note the PR agency on the press release -- Parris Communications! As in Karen Pletz Bridal Shower sponsor, Roshann Parris. The pillaging of gullible KC companies - and now the Plaza, continues!"
It would be messed up to note that I like the old design better . . . But I do. However, I'm biased. Given that frustrating local amateur architects and clueless urban planners is sort of a passion here at TKC.

Parris Communications and Polsinelli Shughart are handmaidens to corruption. They're a disgrace to the community.
ReplyDeleteand of course, Reece and Nichols.
The artsy fartsy folks should be pleased now.
ReplyDeleteNo Sir, I Don't Like It.
ReplyDeleteIt looks like a Marriot. WTF.
ReplyDeleteUGLY.
ReplyDeleteBrickwork in the back is good. But Minimally, add tile roof that can be seen... and Spanish window shapes.
ReplyDeleteMaybe some imbedded tile art in the outer walls which are so beautiful.
This looks to me like a quick and dirty that won't cost any more money.
Still too tall at that location.
ReplyDeletemove to KCK...why hassle with KCMO??
ReplyDeleteWHAT HAPPENED TO DEVELOPMENT ON THE EAST SIDE.PICK THE BUILDING UP AND MOVE IT TO THE PASEO. NOT. DEVELOPMENT WHERE IT IS RIPE. PUSH DEVELOPMENT EAST OUT OF THE PLAZA.
ReplyDelete9:06 get back over to Paseo and hit some more of that PCP you're smokin.
ReplyDeleteThis design does nothing to respect the legacy of that racist bigot, J.C. Nicols. Is it going to have a separate entrance for blacks and jews?
ReplyDeleteYes, it looks like a Marriott Hotel. Too bad the rooms will be unaffordable.
pretty lame design too, a third grader can draw a square building...

ReplyDeleteI hope it looks better in reality than on paper, but I'll survive either way.
ReplyDeleteWhat have you got against white people, Tony?
ReplyDeleteAnd what is your ethnic makeup? Is there any European blood in your veins?
