Re: OFFICIAL - Pennway Point

Broadway used to run in between the new building and the old post office and then made a dog leg to hit West Penway. Bring the north-south portion of Broadway back then continue south with a tunnel under the park. Most of the current Broadway through PVP could be vacated for a local 2 lane park driv...

I have never seen evidence of security. I love the old entryway terrazzo and J.C.Penney mosaic.

Re: Downtown Baseball Stadium

Should have made the new tax 5/16 instead of 3/8. Then could have claimed new tax that is less than old tax.

Re: Alleyways

J.C. Nichols banned alleyways from his developments. He thought they were old fashioned relics of horse stables and wanted to design for the affluent new automobile owning class.

Re: Downtown Baseball Stadium

The old fire department has been gutted and converted into a residence. The only thing reminding us it’s a an old fire station are people on this forum and a sign on the exterior.

Re: Downtown Baseball Stadium

I would like to think it will fit in if Oak got bowed to the east. It would be expensive, but could even replace the freeway overpass with an angled bridge(since the vision includes the freeway park construction).

Re: Alleyways

There are tons of blocks, midtown, east side, west plaza, volker, etc that have alleyways. I have an alley behind me now, and it was hell just getting the city to trim brushy, tree growth that made going driving down the alley into a jungle cruise.

Re: 18th and Vine

In an interview in The Independent Julia Irene Kauffman said that she is interested in the success of 18th & Vine. Could she turn her philanthropic interest in that direction?
