Some artists lease the disused, labyrinthine mini-mall inside the former Apollo.    Of note inside are the activist bookstore (relocated from Crossroads) + an inactive 100-seat movie theater that splits time as a gallery and hip-hop venue. 

Does any club foreseen in the P+L hold this reputation?   

Hey dudes, isn't that pub right across from Skybox, why, yes, its the River Market Brewery. 

I know of some folks nearby, they often let Federal agents access their roof to keep an eye on Kabal, and I assume that new den of ill repute.

My favorite dinners are at YJ's- top ingredients, 'round 8 bucks nightly.  Addis Ababa, too, good to see their staying power. 

YJ's, D'Bronx and La Sala's for lunchtime sandwiches. 

Best breakfast has gotta be the signature sandwich Dagwood's Diner. 

Here in Westport today, Mario's Delicatessan (sp?) has brown paper taped over its windows and a 'Closed' sign on the door.  Redecorating or deceased?  Anybody know?

Arbitrary selection of restaurants and snotty ratings. 

Doesn't seem so.  The entryway is convoluted and the stock was unorganized in stacks and rows of stacks.  Here's a fun rumor.  DJ Shadow was visiting town last year and Rooks turned down a 1.5 million offer for it all. 

I met Ron Rooks one night at Connie's Gennessee Inn, a bar near Kemper.  He holla'd at my group and asked us up.  The warehouse facility is enormous, and packed w/ records and music memorabilia.  Probably 30K square feet.  Absurd. 

KCK fascinates- just look at photographs of Minnesota Ave. last century and then visit, shop some bustling thrifts, place an order at Nick's Italian Pizza, sit at a booth and feel your head implode.

I always thought that too. It's a linguistic blunder and it's redundant.

Not to mention hubristic- adios

But its the arts district- no, its the Accardo arts + design district, oh wait the galleries aren't permitted complimentary wine anymore uh oh....

The first floor housed a rock bar called Benders for a minute back in '02. 

The owner of the Busy Bee's building was interviewed on the same KMBZ News segment as Stretch.  Grinder's and he are neighbors.  He wants some tax-help, but is ineligible for the 'arts clause' and of course isn't a Multinational nor is he a major league sports team.  The Busy Bee's homey, midwestern...

The windows are tall and open, however, the balcony, damn it's gone.  I don't know the rental rate but there's a phone # on that storefront. 

Zz... Oh, what were we talking about?  Oh, a new martini bar.  Yeah, its going in that 17th + Oak first floor space.  The owner guy said so.  The permit thing is at the link.

Hayes Hamburgers is on its way from Gladstone- right?  Their opening a location on Grand- near Late Night Theater and Temptations. 

Cyclops those are wonderful photos of small history.  That room is now called Morton Ballroom and accessible from a Warwick and Main storefront.  Friends of ours held their wedding engagement party inside last year.  Rental was (is?) inexpensive, and though half-refinished, being Kansas Citians we f...

To reiterate- possibly the poor wait service happens because the  administration is stomping on the staff.  Mutiny can happen thisaway at small businesses, big businesses-  but the grunge decor is alright.  Stretch himself airing his dirtylaundry mediaside (business, city complaints) at least somebo...

403 club in KCK- just off I-670.
