Even through the obstacles, the Kansas City Wizards roll Jesse Jackson style and try to "keep hope alive' about finding themselves a permanent home. Next week the city council votes on the issue of knocking down Bannister Mall and replacing it with a gargantuan1.1 million square foot redevelopment plan that will include an 18K seat soccer stadium, practice fields, housing and retail.
KCTV has some video on the issue and believe it or not there are actually folks out there who don't want the city to do away with an abandoned shopping complex and replace it with a tax-free economic catalyst. I can tell you that you can watch the video here. What I can't tell you is the mailing address of the hater who wants to give the mall "to the people".

The guy that wants to give the mall to the people is this guy that thinks just simply cutting the grass, a coat of paint and a sign saying "We're Open" will cause people and stores to rush back to the mall. The guy is an idiot.
Sorry for posting again, but he's the same guy I took to task in this blog entry of mine, on the same topic.
