KANSAS CITY CONVENTION HOTEL FALLS FROM GRACE BEFORE GRAND OPENING!!! SHRINERS AND BAPTISTS CANCEL!!!



So many local critics of the Convention hotel and the tourism industry shared their skepticism at the outset of the pandemic.

Today they've been proven right.

Credit where it's due to a developer blog that offers worthwhile scoop behind a paywall . . .

Shriners International and National Baptists, have cancelled because of the Covid-19 pandemic, an estimated $30 million blow to the local economy.

This one basically kills Downtown for 2020 and with no vaccine in sight . . . The economic impact inside the loop will only worsen.

Developing . . .

    2. What do you mean "sometimes," 8:22? Don't you mean "constantly?"

  3. ^^^ it is failing and besides, they could use this unnecessary city paid for hotel for all those covid 19 patients the city has.... wait, what? We have less than one percent of the total population of kc with covid 19? WOW! MAYBE WE COULD PUT ALL THOSE PRISONERS IN THERE INSTEAD!

  4. the point is citing an example of how the world has changed.

    it's a concrete point, a fact.

    therefore, it's more relevant than the fakery available from the media and politicians.

  10. To point out that KCMO has put all their resources into tourism, downtown and luring large companies with huge tax breaks is not "rooting to fail". It's pointing out the folly of abandoning the poor and middle class who deserve something in return for exorbitant taxes.

  11. Kansas City isn't alone in this, Wall Street is predicting a five to ten year recovery period will be required to restore the Economy to 2018 levels.

  12. This is a shame!
    What is the P&L District goin to do without those hordes of Baptists rolling to town and pouring downhill to the "Drunk Tank" for late nights of boozing, carousing and generally raising Hell?
    Heck, those Baptists make Shriners look like a pack of Episcopalians!

    Trump lied; 70,000+ Americans died. If only Trump had paid attention when the pandemic first began. He simply wasn't capable on focusing his priorities and chose, instead, to play golf and hold MAGA rallies.

    By the way, now 30,000,000+ Americans out of work. Worst job report EVER released today on Trump's watch. Main Street devastated. Farm bankruptcies growing fast. Farmer suicides growing as well.

    Thanks, Deplorables.
