Downtown KC/P&L Fad

I'm tellin' you... Off the record, on the QT, and very hush-hush... the P&L is a passing fad unless they do something to make it local. Why?
  • Too many people have to drive there and DRIVE HOME.
  • Finding a good place to park during an event sucks.
  • All of the establishments are pretty much national chains.
  • You can't carry a conversation in those places, too loud.
The P&L will be a great place to hang before an event at the Sprint Center aside from having to fight to get a drink at a bar. But aside from events, people will begin to see that it's too much hassle to make that road trip.

If I want a national chain, then I can choose Zona Rosa if I'm a northlander or Towne Center on the KS side. Why make the trek downtown?

This KC Biz Journal article tries to convince you otherwise, read it.

Warning to those that determine the businesses on the Plaza... keep it local, you idiots.

And why do we like local places??? Because the same ol same ol anywhere ya go... that's McDonalds. The Plaza is unique and special in KC... and so the stores and restaurants should be special too.

ARE YOU LISTENING HIGHWOODS MANAGEMENT???
