i think demographics is the biggest factor. with children in the waldo/brookside area that attend catholic school...tuition at the schools is fairly irrelevant unless you are a non-parishoner. these schools thrive on a tithing model - with less and less school families at CTK partially due to the co...

as dated as it was, it was very clean. a classic that will be missed!

yuk.

i don't even i know how that gets past the city's smoking ban?

oddly, i heard it was going to be a hookah bar. i hope they were just pulling my leg...

i was also surprised to see such a chain going in. parking will be a giant cluster.... anyhow, i see it doing well nonetheless. wish i had invested some $$ in it!

yikes. stupid P&L.

cellar and loft of bks was just that - the cellar was stone walls, creaky harwoowoods and shelves and shelves of beer and wine.  none of the prices were great but the tastings were fun and the ability to build your own 6 pack was the best part. i couldn't bring myself to buy wine there - prices were...

did you ever visit the cellar and loft in brookside? 

berbiglia is BAD - at least few around here in brookside/waldo.  lukas liquor superstore way down at 135th and state line (in MO) is great.  everything you could possibly need.  i typically go to price chopper at 103rd, though.  decent selection and REALLY great deals right now for thanksgiving. 

yes, there is.  i wonder if anyone ever goes in there?  (other than residents of that blue metal bldg)

this is a place i drive by all the time and wonder how it's open.  or what it is?  in the blue bldg at wornall and meyer.  anyone been?

a couple of weeks ago i saw some progress (glass, etc) but now it's at a standstill - anyone know anything at all?

yep, walk in and make meals to take home.  i left off five guys - how could i forget them? of course it's certainly not gourmet but it's a "better burger" concept that's doing really well. 

but back to the franchising of BBB or even serious expansion...this is a trend that has just now hit the midwest, just like the yogurt shops (more recently just hitting the area)  - trying to franchise or expand beyond what is, is probably not a good idea. overnight (it seems) there are way too many...

FANTASTIC street.  This is an incredible buy. 

WyCo - what are their plans for school?  We live in the Waldo/Brookside area w/3 kids.  The neighborhood (Ward Park) that encompasses Gregory (71st) to 75th, Wornall to State Line has many tudor style homes for sale right now.  The link to the one on Belleview is close to us  - too pricey for the ne...

if you tried it when they first opened, i'd suggest giving it another shot. 

i don't know the exact racial make-up of PV but i can guarantee it's not 105% anything. 

being from Pittsburgh, home of Heinz, i am surprised to say i didn't mind the ketchup. would prefer Heinz. better than Hunts. 

Our family of 5 had dinner at BRGR last night - cannot say a bad thing about this place.  It was busy, they handled it all very well.  Service was excellent.  Food was great.  I had the Juicy Lucy - it was messy but good.  Hubs had the vegetarian lentil burger - also good.  We shared fries which wer...
