Was the move in venue and dates worth it? Seems like it was low key again. Are you talking about the BBQ? I think the move to Labor Day weekend was a big mistake.

I believe it was on the corner that recently housed Armani Exchange.

Just got our Google fiber installed in Prairie Village. Got internet and phone to replace TWC. Didn't do Google TV since the TV boxes are $10 each after the first one.

I can't recall exactly what I was told, but I don't believe the plans were for a parking lot. Green space was mentioned, and I think also something about some opportunity for small retail.

I think the building he owns is the former Cadillac Catering event space. KCDowntown Ate dinner at novel last week and got an update on the plans. Apparently the Cadillac building (the roof in particular) is too far gone and will be demolished. The restaurant will go into the first floor of the sma...
