Four more Power & Light District tenants announced (KC Star)
The Cordish Co. today announced four additional tenants for the Kansas City Power & Light District: Chefburger, a locally owned burger restaurant; Rum Shack, a Caribbean style nightclub; Sprint Studio, a flagship interactive retail store; and Living Room, a high-end outdoor lounge that will serve as the centerpiece for the Kansas City Live! block.
Nothing too sexy, but always exciting to hear about new tenants.

I couldn’t find a contact link, but I wanted to let people who read this blog know that:
A town hall to be held March 8th in Kansas City is looking for volunteers. This is one of only five cities in the US that will have a chance to make their voice heard on a very important topic. The National Institutes of Health and other healthcare agencies are considering establishing a biobank with information about the DNA of lots of different people around the US. This biobank could provide researchers with valuable information on the cause of diseases, but there could also be real privacy concerns about very personal information.
This hasn’t been funded yet and no decisions have been made — first, we want to know what everyone thinks about the idea: Is a biobank good? Bad? Dangerous? Are there safeguards? What safeguards are important? Are you okay with researchers having your DNA?
This town hall is free and open to the public, but everyone is encouraged to register early. Make your voice count, register online at http://www.dnapolicy.org and click on the link for Kansas City. Bring a friend or two and make sure their voices count too. If you would like to volunteer to help us promote the town hall, please contact Erin Wiley at erin@pfidc.org or 202-374-0840.
