There is a chance the MO Supreme Court will rule that the state oversight is unconstitutional somehow.

It's ridiculous.

There are some parts of older KC where few (if any) houses are left on the blocks. If they ever get redeveloped, they should add alleys for the new houses when terrain allows. Apartments over alley garages would be ideal too. I wish the city would require them in new developments on raw land within ...

Preservation isn't always about a building being a historic site (forefathers met here to write a constitution). Many preservation efforts are just as much about conserving the built environment. Reusing buildings over and over and not resorting to throwaway culture. It recognizes that construction ...

I can't believe anyone is proposing new office buildings right now.

There are only two buildings downtown that I'm aware of that have sheep heads adorning them. Aladdin and the Rialto Building at 9th and Grand.

Thanks for those photos. The Aladdin is such a beautiful old building.

Anyone who has stayed in some hotels in Paris will know how small elevators and bathrooms can be there in older buildings.

One would think they would hire security to check the building daily for break-ins. Can't they hire someone to live in the building ...

There are lots of residential neighborhoods in Los Angeles and Phoenix that have alleys.
