That building on 8th St was the site of Sanderson's diner for a number of years--rassler Bulldog Bob Brown often ate there.

And the building has no parking.

Friday nights, 7:30, Helen's JAD Bar on Armour in NKC.

The city set aside $10m for downtown housing; that made the 13th and Walnut development possible.

Another unqualified recommendation for Au Pied de Cochon, an incredible experience. Sit at the bar and watch the cooks.

New Amigoni winery space.

Link shows colorized postcards of Kansas City sites. A couple of which I've never seen before. http://www.retronaut.co/2011/09/colourised-postcards-of-kansas-city/ There's a postcard show May 18 and 19 at the Lenexa Community Center; the contact is Cole Woodbury (816) 294-8138.

Among the taverns were The Other Room, Can-Can, Pink Door, Peyton Place, Bonnie & Clyde's Lounge, The Gay Nineties, The It Club, Pal Joey, and Two Twenty Two lounge. Any old timers on this forum ever go into any of these places? Old timer? I guess, because I've been all of those dives, and the ...

Not to forget the Hickory Inn, where we were sitting at the bar one night, and a guy stumbled in and went straight to the kitchen, yelling, "Where's my Kitchen Bitch?"
