Kansas City River Market Reborn As Hipster Hangout: Will It Work?!?!



City Hall planners and district managers chased most of the longtime local merchants out of  the River Market. raised the rent and turned it into an upscale hangout that's unfriendly to cars and anybody who doesn't have NPR preset on their favorite audio device . . .

  1. It's the parking. The parking mess created by the city is what really what hampers more stable growth. All of these empty condos aren't going to cut it.

  2. They have been trying this for a couple of years now and NO it's not working. Kansas City business that had been down there for years is what drew the people. They threw away KC history and long term stability for short term profit, not smart.

  4. Plenty of free parking in NKC!
    Hell of a lot more going on there, too.

    Hard to find a place to live there though, housing doesn't stay on the market very long, if it even gets listed at all.

    Bring back the tittie bars, bodies in trunks and buildings blown up.
    The dagos knew how to run a place.
