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 . . .
shriners are right to be cautious given how much they like to party.
ReplyDeleteIs this really news Tony? Everything is cancelled at this point.
ReplyDeleteSometimes I think you root for this city to fail.
Nah, Tony just don't like the rich ones that can only succeed with bail/hand outs.
DeleteWhat do you mean "sometimes," 8:22? Don't you mean "constantly?"
Delete^^^ 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!
ReplyDeletethe point is citing an example of how the world has changed.
ReplyDeleteit's a concrete point, a fact.
therefore, it's more relevant than the fakery available from the media and politicians.
We don’t want them here anyway. Nothing to see in Kansas City. Bye.
ReplyDeleteBill Gates said nothing will change until every human being on earth gets the (his) covid vaccine.
ReplyDeleteSeriously. Not joking. He really said this.
^^Go back to Infowars CHUD. Nobody with an IQ above 40 believes this or you.
ReplyDeleteVisit KC has lowered 2020 KC tourist projection to 24.999999 million due to ChiCom Flu.
ReplyDelete8:59 is absolutely destroying these useless eaters today.
ReplyDeleteTo 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.
ReplyDeleteKansas 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.
ReplyDeleteThis is a shame!
ReplyDeleteWhat 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.
ReplyDeleteBy 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.
Go diddle yourself, Don. No one cares what you think.
DeleteBaptists just made a joke out of their religion: https://www.crosswalk.com/faith/spiritual-life/does-no-harm-shall-overcome-you-in-psalm-91-mean-that-you-wont-suffer.html
ReplyDelete11:18 oh chimpy, trolling for bananas is not doing you any good, c’mon little monkey! Do some monkey shines for us! Hahaha!
ReplyDeleteAlmost 75% of the deaths are on the east coast..... liberal east coast that is
ReplyDelete^^and yet all of the new cases are in the Midwest. Conservative Midwest that is. Weird.
ReplyDeleteNo, you’re incorrect. Yet you post false information. Weird.
DeleteHo's working 18th & Vine to take financial hit from missing Shriner's who love dark chocolate cootchie.
ReplyDelete50,000,000 coronavirus deaths in US alone in the next two weeks, experts are predicting!!!!!

ReplyDeleteEinstein, it’s spelled Loews if you’re going to make a weak attempt to skewer something, at least spell the name right.
