Letter to the Mayor
Posted by Bradley under Personal
Hi Gloria and Mark! Yesterday was a great day for our great city! The opening of the Sprint Center is the catalyst our hometown needed to launch us into the next chapter of our greatness. I so very much loved walking around the new facility with a smile on my face and a sense of fullness in my heart. These are exciting times for Kansas City. As much as our roads are a reflection of how much we care about our city the little details in and around the Sprint Center are also a reflection of our commitment to the new arena. With this in mind I must insist that you do the following three things.
- Fix the round LED video displays outside the Sprint Center. Our city loves art, we live and breed it. Please! Please, make sure the LED displays in the art installation are always working without dead pixels or corrupted pixels. This is embarrassing and makes us look like we don’t care about maintaining our technological infrastructure. The LED displays should be monitored daily for dead pixels and fixed as soon as any are noticed.
- Implement consistent, standardized, unified Parking signage around the Sprint Center. Develop an icon that has immediate recognition that the lot is available for parking for events at the Sprint Center. Place this icon high on a pole at the corners of the parking lots or high on the concrete of existing multi-level parking structures. Include the cost of regular parking and event parking prices immediately under the logo. Don’t over complicate the icon. Simple is better. I need to know what lots are available, with just a glance, for parking. Ever been to Boston? Emulate their parking icon and signage surrounding the TD Banknorth arena. (I had never been to Boston and was able to find parking for a Madonna concert within a few glances driving near the arena.) I have lived in Kansas City all my life and it took me about 8 minutes to locate parking for the Sprint Center.
- In addition to the new parking sinage and icons there needs to be signs with directional arrows every block, within a five block radius, that direct people where said parking lots are for the Sprint Center. These signs should include the new parking icon with an estimate of the number of feet or blocks to the nearest parking option. These signs should also direct people where the Sprint Center is in relation to the sign. Our downtown is very tight and confusing even to me, let alone people coming from other cities.
As a 26 year old man I have a unique, useful demographic perspective for improving our hometown. We, as the youth, are the new Kansas City. Let’s stop relying on ideas from people in suits sitting behind desks and develop a task-force of 18-30 year olds. We are passionate and motivated.
Mark, I am very proud to have voted for you as mayor of Kansas City. Everything you have done since you took office has been noticeable, and effective. You are a great face for a great town. Now is the time for Kansas City to really show the rest of the nation that we get it. And that we are ready for our new chapter. We have reached our tipping point and we shouldn’t look back.

Big News from Trent Reznor
Posted by Bradley under Entertainment
“Hello everyone. I’ve waited a LONG time to be able to make the following announcement: as of right now Nine Inch Nails is a totally free agent, free of any recording contract with any label. I have been under recording contracts for 18 years and have watched the business radically mutate from one thing to something inherently very different and it gives me great pleasure to be able to finally have a direct relationship with the audience as I see fit and appropriate. Look for some announcements in the near future regarding 2008. Exciting times, indeed.”
