A few points of reference from a former NAMA employee (and current neighbor) - the museum actually used to have offices in the American Century-owned tower at 44th and Main. They were extremely eager, after the opening of the Bloch Building opened up some space (largely in the basement of the 1933 b...

While they're not available quite yet via Missouri Valley's website (that should come a little later this year), the collection is now available via the state's Digital Heritage website: http://www.sos.mo.gov/archives/mdh_splash/default.asp?coll=kcpltax A little information about the project can be ...

Re the Warwick, my husband and I (who live two blocks away from it) were wondering the same thing recently. And also wondering how cheap we could get that space, and what the economics of running a couple of classic films a week would be.

To be fair, Branson isn't really the Ozarks. It's a tourist destination that gets a lot of people from a lot of places, all over the world. I travel a lot for work in Nebraska and Iowa, and I typically eat 50 to 75% of my meals in my hotel room. I'm not a vegetarian, but eating out on the road is a...

As a vegetarian married to a vegan (meaning I'm vegan at home and while we're out 90% of the time), we have absolutely no problem eating out often enough and happily enough that we keep having to buy larger pants. Aside from just plain incorrect information about the options available here, he sure ...

There are another couple of oddball semi-rural islands in that part of Platte County, as well. This one comes to mind:

... as it's just behind the subdivision where I grew up and my mother still lives.

I'm sure an H&M will land someplace else, but Kudos to Highwoods. Plaza is for flagships which is a good angle. Just wondering...is there anywhere between Chicago and Denver with better shopping/dining than the Plaza (MPLS, StL included)? I'd rather go to the Plaza if I lived in Des Moines than...

I thought this might warrant it's own thread. http://www.bizjournals.com/kansascity/news/2011/06/30/hm-will-open-on-country-club-plaza.html Oh I'm thrilled!  This is going to change my touristing when I travel, though - I always end up hitting an H&M when I'm in a city that has one. My dreams n...

why are there approximately 1,000 ford escapes parked at the metro north parking lot?  i assume they are from claycomo, but wtf?  that whole area around metro north along barry road is like something from "the walking dead."  hideous. my grandfather mentioned this to me last night - and t...

The Simpsons arcade game at the Union has some issues.  Choose your character wisely or the sticky handles will kill you (but it is still awesome they have it). In other news, has anyone been brave enough to visit the Ultra Lounge which allegedly, according to the used car lot flags outside, sells ...

pash - two stores are opening.  the one at ward parkway mall and another at 119th and roe.

Be sure to not try it without the meatballs, too.  It tastes like dry noodles with some bagged cheese shreds on top.

This is a good point. Other contributing factors I would think are (a) crumbling school districts in urban areas leading some urban low income families to move to the burbs; (b) more affordable apartment housing in the burbs than before (not sure if that's true, but it seems like it); (c) inner-rin...

i agree, though i would fault the generations of owners (or neglecters) who let such a cool house degrade that far to begin with.  given its vintage, it was very likely a farmhouse that predated by about 20 years what became the "suburban" area we now call south hyde park.  i think the cu...

No, it's just the three buildings on the corner of Baltimore and Westport Road. All follow-up on this story has revealed that the church only plans to demolish the shingled building (with four storefronts) facing Westport Road.  The dry-cleaner, funeral home, and the brick building facing Main at t...

 But, I'd love to see the north side especially turned into a true "hangout" - cafe, lots of modern seating and tables, etc a la Museumsquartier in Vienna.  The space is really perfect for such a thing on a small scale, and the museum is ideally located to be a great date spot or general ...

I've seen the Plaza LatteLand's not busy later hours...why don't they close? the plaza has two lattelands, and they keep very different hours most of the year.  the one on 47th street during the winter months closes up shop at 7 o'clock, while the one on jefferson near more restaurants & the mo...

after finally paging through a copy of the magazine, my big stink with it is that it's positively full of editing errors - typos, misspellings, calling the sculpture park at the nelson-atkins the "rodin sculpture park," thoroughly mangling avenida "ceasar" chavez, etc.

The developer got a KCMO judge to kill the law because he somehow conviced the judge that it was impossible to have a fuel station with the building fronting the sidewalk even though other urban cities figure out ways to incorporate gas stations into urban environments all the time, but it's rarely...

If memory serves, bahua doesn't consider neighborhoods with single-family detached houses to be urban. I lived in Chicago for several years, outside of downtown/the loop on the north side and despite there being a very sizable number of single-family detached homes (even more single-family homes th...
