We are finally in agreement on something. How about that?

It needs like a billion dollars in renovations.

I'd probably stick with the more local stuff, too near the ballpark.. or at least less touristy/bland/better priced places..

Well, better take a Saturday night in the Crossroads this spring before it's all gone. If you did, you'd understand how monumentally stupid this plan is.

You obviously haven't been downtown in at least two decades

I hate people and traffic. Get off my ****ing lawn... I'll watch from home.

You should move to a tiny town in the middle of nowhere, it takes care of both those.

That area has lots of space and is underused. Plus, many buildings that are eyesores.

It also has that sexy view of skyscrapers in the background these modern baseball stadiums are looking for.

Because of the shit smell that wafts from the water treatment plant just over the river in KS. It peels the paint off your car.

Jesus Christ... it's a couple old bars, a strip club and some shitty Ramen places, they aren't tearing down Greenwich Village or Montmartre. They will all get a boatload of money and move somewhere...

Boomers love their parking lots, suburbanites fear the crime, hippisters love their shitty bars and art galleries
