Ha... Yeah ****ers, you're already being taxed out the ass for this money pit, you might as well come spend all the rest of your moneys on overpriced shit we offer....

When they issued the bonds, the margins were so tight everyone saw this coming. Not exactly something you advertise when you're trying to sell the plan, though.

Yeah no kidding its a lot more than I envisioned it to be. I go down there every other weekend at least and drop at least a hunski each time. Its brought me downtown from olathe and I even have friends from nevada, mo and they literally come all they way for pnl. If its not.doing as well as expected then somebody did a bad job forecasting

It needs subsidies because the costs to build everything went over budget and caused the businesses to open much later than expected, not because it's struggling from a revenue perspective.

“If one includes all the incremental tax benefits that have accrued to the city from the decision to build the district … the Power & Light District is covering not only its own costs, but those of the rebuilt city infrastructure as well.”

The Flying Saucer is cool....

I wandered around there for a few hours Friday night to enjoy the live music... Lucky Strike was $10, the Dueling Piano bar was $8 (iirc), and Shark Bar was $7. After that I went to Stables (which, from the last couple of visits, seems to have become a gay bar) and had by far the best drink of the night for $6.

Its not 10 a drink, he's just exaggerating. I like to go to shark bar and drinks there are probably the highest priced out of any place down there and that would be around 7 dollars. PNL is always packed to shit at least for night life and if you don't like it you probably just don't like meeting new people.

I guess that we just don't venture to the bars down there. It's pretty much Flying Saucer or bust for us.

take a flask to an outside bars before you go to the square. Jeez where is your brain. Or just walk back to the parking lot and drink there, that place is a party itself. No place is really my Scene anymore, but power and light is full of people to meet and yap too.

It isn't really my scene but I think it has been a good thing and a lot of people go. I don't think it has been a negative...it draws a lot of people in.

No, I'm not... the Shark Bar was actually the lowest of the 3 places I went Friday night, at $7 for four splashes of alcohol and a cup of sprite, and that doesn't include the cover charge. Lucky Strike was $10, and the bartender even warned me "it is $10, is that okay?"

It's a cool place and I'm not sure why some people are set on hating it (well, excluding billay, who's just here to stir shit anyway), and of course I can always head to a dive bar, drink beer, or just hangout for the music... just sayin'.

Did they give you a tissue too? You must be Laz's son.

Then these places doing well need to ante up..

I was against the place and its cost on the city..

Who exactly gets the money from the parking and where does it go??

As for the dress code, I agree with it unless they are doing bike night or something similar..

Yeah I agree.. Have had a few bachelor parties this summer there and it has force me to drink beers just because I do not want to spend 10+ bucks on my 7n7's..

$10 for a drink? :eek:

Sounds like the yuppie places in Chicago. Can you imagine paying for yourself AND buying drinks for the tail you're chasing on top of it? ****. :shake:
