Re: KC Live LED Lights stuck

They must have used the same stuff as the pylons along 169/Broadway leading into downtown that never function properly.

Is it really that difficult to make a light light up?

Re: wtf is happening to w. 39th?!

Got to sample Q39 last Friday night. The space looks great - no indication it used to be a Chinese buffet. I believe the Arizona-based design firm that was behind Urban Table and Gram & Dun also did this space. A similar vibe, but much more clean and simple. It's got a fair amount of seating, in...

Re: JJ's Restaurant at 48th and Belleview Destroyed by Fire

the old one wasn't *on* the Plaza. The customer facing Plaza ends at Jefferson, with the parking garage behind Panera and Unity being the westernmost section, stopping north of 48th I agree that the old location was not on the Plaza. And also saying that the new location is not on the Plaza as othe...

From what I hear, the new location will be very close to the old one. It will not be on the Plaza.

Re: Corinth, Village at Prairie Village to form CID for ped-

Spin is in Corinth Shopping Center. We got in Friday night for a preview. It looks like a Spin - similar to the other stores. The space is nice. Lots of windows and an outdoor patio. A bartender at Tavern in the Village had said that Chipotle would be joining Starbucks in the new PV building. Not su...

Einstein Bros. returning to the Starbucks space at the Village Shops. Starbucks will build a new building where Waid's once stood, but it will have a drive-thru, which should encounter some community opposition. http://pvpost.com/2013/09/06/einstein-set-to-return-to-village-shops-starbucks-signs-le...

Re: Novel (formerly Lills on 17th)

We had the extreme pleasure of dining at Novel last night. It was absolutely fantastic. I believe this was just their fourth service, but you would never know it. Typically you're willing to cut a new place some slack as it gets up to speed, but Novel appears to already be firing on all cylinders. T...

Definitely feel bad for Jimmy. After dealing with the effects of the construction for 7 years, everything disappears just when there seems to be a light at the end of the tunnel.

Re: KCPD logo

Prior to going back to the just the Police font, they also used the rainbow stripe design on the Crown Vics as featured on that oil TV commercial. That design must have been retired with the Crown Vic.

Re: Leawood's Park Place development

Lynch opened an 801 Chophouse there in late 2011. He plans to open an 801 Fish in Park Place in late 2012 or early 2013. Now he also has finalized a lease for Pig & Finch, a gastropub set to open in the former Trezo Vino spot at 11570 Ash St. in mid-October. Pig & Finch is now open. Website
