Downtown Kansas City is practically half parking lots--so why is it so hard to find a spot on a First Friday in the Crossroads? The availability and cost of parking could be key ingredients to developing a vibrant downtown.

Guests:

  • Thomas Morefield, Downtown Neighborhood Association, downtown resident, professional urban planner B.N.I.M., blogger, urbanangle.net
  • Rick Usher, assistant city manager, KC City Hall
  • Sean O'Byrne, Downtown Council

People don't make cameos in news stories; the human story is the story, with characters affected by news events, not defined by them. As a columnist and podcaster, I want to acknowledge what it feels like to live through this time in Kansas City, one vantage point at a time. Together, these weekly vignettes form a collage of daily life in Kansas City as it changes in some ways, and stubbornly resists change in others.
