Clayton Kershaw is pitching against the Storm Chasers Saturday.

I'd be there if I lived close and if I didn't go to the CWS every day.

SD, tell me more about these subdivisions west of town that are all built around mini man made lakes surrounded by farmland. 

I've seen them in FL/CA/Areas where it is nice but never expected to see so many outside of Omaha.

Noted items from the NYC of the plains

* Downtown streets are way too many lanes and too many one ways.  Fix immeidatley.
* Parking management is excellent and KCMO could learn a lot of lessons.  Outsource it and it gets a lot better
* M's Pub was great.  Plank was great.  Upstream beers weren't as good as I was hoping.  Walked over to Schucks but their patio was closed so no dining there
* Mask wearing was way higher than expected.
:driving: areas of Omaha to take in the neighborhoods.  Drove to the zoo but way too hot and way too long of lines to get in to even consider going

Side trip to Lincoln.  Never been there.  The Nebraska state capitol is sexy af!  Did the strategic air commend museum on the way. It's fine.  Lot of old planes but neat to walk by some of the big boys like the B52.

Those are former sandpits that got developed into high end subdivisions after the useful sand was all mined harvested removed.

I wonder what happens on the West Shores Lake island?  For example does what happens on West Shores Island stay on West Shores Lake island?  Is it were the teens meet up for drugs and make outs?  Maybe used as ground zero for the neighborhood 4th of July fireworks display launch?  Pet cemetary? Omaha Garden of Nebraska Heroes?

West Wichita has a lot of these lakes too



In this image, I believe there are subdivisions named Bay Country, Rolling Hills, and Pine Grove, none of which should be used to describe the terrain of Wichita, Kansas.

West Shores Lake has captured my imagination.  I'm concerned about what people are doing with all those docks. Swimming?  :surprised: Over under on algae blooms with that many watered and chemically treated lawns draining into it?

More West Lake Shores thoughts....the ideal spot would be to have your home at the tip of one of the dong shaped isthmus'.  Much more shoreline than the suckers in concave inner coves.  Inner cove folk will probably tell you some bullshit about "protected from wave," but whatever.
