that is now paddy o'quigley's and they server bud on tap. i guess that's fitting, although i'm sure it was not intentional.

nope. web site says they're at 31st and mercier. i've seen the soaps at just about every store that sells such things (wild oats, basil+bay, best of KC, perfect scents).

private equity buyout. that's my prediction. see chrysler. no one wants another messy merger since sprint's assets are strong but the execution has always sucked. google is a good alternative path.

welcome! at that location, i offer some tips: - the city market is a closer walk than you think and the crossroads is only 20 minutes on foot - grand slam has decent wines when you're in a pinch - the SB MAX stop is very close... keep a change card handy for trips to westport/plaza/brookside if you'...
