Delta Quad Holdings that has owned the bldng since 2014 being sued by a Denver company. The city special use permit needed to obtain building permit for hotel will expire in 3 months. Look for nothing to happen here until the building changes hands.

Going to take a lot of money. Most alleys are over a century old and no one knows how many miles of alleys there are. City at present is even unable to replace curbs and sidewalks at an acceptable rate

What needs to get done? It is not like the airport terminal where it just was not functional and had to be replaced.

Thanks for the additional research. Love the photo with the hazy proto skyline in the distance dominated by the old Board of Trade tower and the dome of the federal court house(wish we still had both).

KC Star has article about a now vanished neighborhood that was generally in the vicinity of the now gone Chouteau Courts housing project and the I-29/35 freeway. Predominantly black, mostly substandard building. Just hard to imagine now a seamless city from the River Market through Columbus Park int...

Young man, there's no need to feel down.

Love the image of the crumbling walls juxtaposed with the shining futurism of the TWA rocket and Bartle Sky Stations.

I learned to swim at that Y. Still can smell the chlorine in my olfactory memories. Glad they saved some of the tile work from the pool.

Future 21st century McClure Flats.

Not in a renovated apartment building along Armour Blvd.

Is 31st the only major intersection where both sides of track are complete? It is nice knowing at least one intersection will not be open one day, closed the next.

Bi-state on top of Baby Doe's. If they can put high end residential on top of mines at Briarcliff, they can sink piers below the mines to anchor a ball park.

Head of the ATA in Star editorial calling for Chiefs to go to retractable roof stadium at Legends and new ballpark at TSC with streetcar connection.

People with wealth in KC that want high rise living have traditionally lived on the Plaza in condominiums, not rental. I have thought tearing down the Quality Hill tower next to the River Club and replacing it with a very high end condominium might appeal to those wanting exclusivity.

They are deceased.

Would have blocked the view of the hated AT&T barn from most angles from the south.

Another quality on time Abnos development.
